Hi. Thanks for reading this post.Anyone who uses a Hikvision NVR and genuine Hikvision cameras will understand how important and useful the green smart event motion detection markers are that appear along the timeline. These motion indicators allow you to review hours of surveillance footage in just a few minutes and can help pinpoint incidents very quickly.I think this "smart event" feature is proprietary to genuine Hikvision cameras. I have a few other cameras on my system and whilst they do motion detection and can notify me via the Hik-Connect mobile App, none of them put the green event indicators onto the timeline on the NVR which is a huge miss. I think these green motion indicators are a hardware feature that is actually inside the genuine Hikvision cameras. Even cameras that support the full ONVIF protocol don't do the green motion indicators.Q1: Does anyone know if the the slightly cheaper HiLook cameras that are manufactured by Hikvision have the smart event feature that will put the green event indicators onto the timeline? I understand HiLook are the lower-end "consumer" Hikvision cameras which have fewer features. The technical information for the HiLook cameras say they only do motion detection and do not have the more advanced features such as face recognition or number plate recognition etc. but I only need the motion detection feature but it MUST put the green event markers onto the timeline.Q2: Just out of curiosity, has anybody managed to get non Hikvision cameras to put these green event indicators onto the timeline? Or know if this is possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this and would really appreciate any replies.
