How to choose a Hikvision IP recorder
Match cameras to NVR capacity
Count current cameras and planned additions. Check channels, bandwidth and supported resolutions for the project configuration. Do not apply one model's maximum capacity to the entire range.
Review storage and display
Check drive bays, supported drives and whether any drive is included. Verify outputs and resolutions for your monitor. Recording retention also depends on cameras and video settings.
Verify analytics and connections
Confirm video, audio and intelligent events for the camera/NVR combination. Where PoE is provided, check ports and power limits. Verify firmware and configuration requirements for specific functions.

Questions before buying
Do all Hikvision NVRs have the same output resolutions?
Do not assume this. Check the specific model's outputs and resolutions and its compatibility with the monitor.
Does an NVR use every feature of a Hikvision camera?
This depends on both models, functions and configuration. Check the analytics and events you need individually.
