Hi folks,
I currently have the 7604NI-K1(B) and it feels like the software is often buggy, likewise playback can be hit or miss on my 8mp & 6mp cameras (3 of them). it’s ok if I set the quality quite low (I have to set them with a max 3072 bitrate, and low quality video) in order for them to play, If I increase the bitrate or video quality to high, the NVR refuses to playback via the Hik-Connect app , (yet the specs of the NVR suggests it can handle 10mbps per channel) likewise the Mac web browser refuses to display any picture (it gets to about 96% and then Playback fails) . I also think that using the NVR to supply the power to the cameras via POE Might also be putting strain on the NVR
My thoughts are that the 7604NI-K1(B) was designed for lower res cameras and that I should sell it and upgrade for a better NVR. So apart from the additional ports ( not needed as I only have 3 cams), is there any benefit to upgrading the NVR to the 7608NI-K2-8P vs 7608NI-I2-8P? Likewisewhats your thoughts in each of these boxes. I feel like the 76NI-K1(B) just cannot cope with the bandwidth of 2 x 6mp and 1 x 8mp cameras.
Please enlighten me as I don’t mind upgrading if the bigger NVR’s are far superior.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
