Chrispygreen 0 Posted December 17, 2020 Hi, I am just about to upgrade our CCTV system, it’s is a fairly substantial system currently with 3x dedicated micros DS2’s and a mix of 60 IP cameras, mainly DM Oracle IP cameras. I am upgrading using a staged approach due to financial reasons. The NVR’s are being replaced with a hik 64 channel NVR and the cameras with Hik cameras. The NVR and 18 cameras will be replaced first, with the rest of the cameras next year. I would like to plumb all of the DM cameras waiting to be replaced into the Hik NVR to get rid of the DM nvr’s is this possible? I can’t see Dedicated micros as a supported 3rd party with Hik and I can’t find comparable protocol info for the DM cameras. can anyone help my frustration! many thanks.

tomcctv 190 Posted December 17, 2020 hi you have had that a while..... I havent talked about DM on here for a few years 1 hour ago, Chrispygreen said: The NVR’s are being replaced with a hik 64 channel NVR and the cameras Doing this will be the biggest mistake you will make and also depending on what country your in both hik and dahua have 64 way nvrs and limit you to future expansion there already old tech is this for private or business use ?

Chrispygreen 0 Posted December 18, 2020 Hi, Thanks for your reply it’s for business use, but unfortunately I am stuck with what I am getting due to our procurement requirements! the old DM system has been in 10 years, I didn’t think I’d be talking about DM again either! Horrible stuff. based in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then questions need to be answered to your supplier/ installer old hikvision software ..... old apps and bad network path Uk business and no backup ..... your DM system was split ... if one went down you still had 32 cameras as backup. 64 on one hikvision system everything is down apart from the hik 64 you will also have to take into account a raid storage..... UK law is 31 days some businesses are 21 70% of theads on this forum alone is about hik recorders hacked passwords - software failure ..... recorder short life span ip cameras are good but recorders are no good to protect a business Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
