Hi Friends, I need help because I am considering getting the DS-2DE7186-AE PTZ by Hikvision, but I want to know how the patrol works? what I want to do, is tell the camera to keep patrolling 4 points for example, continuously, and stay at each point for like 5 minutes. Is this possible? what level of customization does the software give you? would it give you possibility to set the stay time differently during day hours vs. night hours? Another question, if some viewer with his iVMS software (PC or iOS) went in and made a certain move (like pan or zoom), by that will he take the camera out of the patroling mission? or will it just continue its next movement at the 5 minutes scheduled time? I will appreciate help of whoever used a PTZ Hikvision software. Thanks

Hi All, I am planning to buy 3 cameras DS-2CD2132F-I + the Hikvision 7616 NVR and I have the below questions which I would appreciate your answers to :- 1- Am I able to set continuous recording to the NVR and AT THE SAME time set motion detection SNAPSHOT picture to the SD (or picture every second in the event motion detection response is not good)? The reason for that is to have a backup (even if it's pictures only) in the even the NVR/connection/router fails. 2- I have the option to either get the above version, or the 2CD2132FWD-I which has WDR 120dB. I read some pro's/con's of the WDR. In the case I didn't like the WDR, can I switch it off? if I do, will the camera perform equally to as if it didn't have an WDR in the first place? 3- I am thinking of taking a bullet camera too, there are two options, either a "2020F-I" or a "2022-I". As you see, the 2022 doesn't have an SD card. is it better than the 2020 in anyway? I read the fourth digit denotes the platform. Should I conclude that a "2" platform supercedes a "0" platform and will be better? I will appreciate your help.
