There was a discussion somewhere about updating the NVR8-7200 firmware using Hikvision firmware. I have updated my cams to the newest Hikvision firmware but I am having troubles recording on the NVR8-7200 even when using 1080p resolution. I tried blue iris. I like the Hikvision software better. Blueiris is unable to use the cameras' motion detection, which is a pity.

Has anybody updated they Swann box to the Hikvision firmware and which one? TIA.

So the firmware can be obtained from here:

ftp://ftp.hikvisionusa.com/

user name: hikfirmware. Password Hikvision123

Is there a consensus whether these Swann cameras are the same as the 3MP ones with just updated firmware?

Any recommendation as to what the best video settings are- bit rate mostly?

Do you happen to have a link to 2.3.4?

Can you update the swann cameras to this firmware?

"comparable to a desktop pc spinning up all its fans when you're encoding video."

This.

Where is this plugin? I have been looking for a way to use the cams on a mac.
