Hikvision Security Camera System

We added a fifth camera to our security system. The camera was perfect and was exactly what we wanted and needed.

Very good camera. Now need to get the whole set to complete my security system

This is WD hard drive for security camera system. Formatted and working properly.

Quick shipping and resolved our issues. This was a hard drive for a security camera system.

Easy to mount my Hikvision PTZ camera. Plus, B & H has the best price out there.

My 4th Hikvision surveillance system build. All with WD Purple. Completely trouble free. Year after year.

Being an IT installer for 30 years, I have tried multiple products and companies and have to say Hikvision is the best bang for the buck. This particular product is super easy to set up and install with zero errors. Beautiful 4K resolution and digital zoom. You can always go better by buying their 8mp wired system and upgrade to 12mp-4K cameras if you wish to see superior quality. For a 4ch wireless system this is very well made...

As as CTO, I know my way around networking equipment and like other Chinese products, the Hikvision NVR is well designed and works even better than advertised. However, it is not for the novice. The documentation is limited and depending on the cameras that you select, they can be a challenge to connect. Most of the Hikvision cameras are set to 198.164.0.64 which will not be your normal IP subnet, and also not the subnet of this device. Also, most cameras are not DHCP enabled which means when you plug in your cameras they will take that address and then are not easily modified. I do have the unit connected to the HikVision Wireless Doorbell and 14 cameras and it works great. This is also integrated to my Creston home automation system allowing me to view any camera on any of my room automation panels as well as my TV's when someone approaches the door or rings the doorbell. Great capabilities, but unless you are a semi-professional, you could find yourself somewhat frustrated with the amount of work required to implement the system.

Hikvision NVR's are the best for the price!

Best product I've reviewed This security camera has exceeded my expectations in all areas of both ease of use and performance. We live in a very rural setting with poor internet. We put the Lorex camera in my husband's shop, which is all metal and about 40 yards away from the house where the Wi-Fi modem is. Out of the box (which was nicely packaged), the camera was extremely easy to install and comes with a variety of ways to mount it. It pivots easily on its base - we just stand it on a windowsill in the shop. The printed directions that came in the box were clear and concise - easy to follow. The software (Lorex Home) was extremely easy to use, with step by step instructions for finding the device and setting it up. Once set up (which took about 5 minutes), we put it in the shop and I went back to the house, not really expecting a connection. To our surprise, not only did it work, but the picture quality (1080p-HD) was amazing. The wide angle lens lets us see most of the shop which is 60'x100'. Sometimes, depending on the conditions, I'm not able to use the Live view which is not the fault of the system but rather our sketchy internet, yet even then it does record any movement or loud sounds. A bonus is that I can use the microphone to tell him when dinner's ready without having to walk out there. That would be my only negative comment is that I wish I could increase the Microphone volume so he could hear it over his loud music. I was even able to talk over the microphone when I was 25 miles away (through extreme hills and valleys). We had a recorded event at 4:14 a.m. and when we looked (I had turned off notifications) it was a bug walking across the camera lens. The night vision quality was very impressive since the shop was completely dark at that time. Overall, the entire system is very well made and well thought out. We have an Arlo security system for outside and this system exceeds that in many ways - very impressive for the price point.
