Don't use HIK at the mo, we use genie which is ok in the main but a bit limited in its range

Been asked for audio recording, I'm pretty sure HIK do IP cams with mics??

If so, what do I need camera wise as its a bloody part number mine field! Wanting 2mp VF domes ideally

Also I presume the recorder needs to be audio compatible, again anything I need to make sure the part number has for it to be compatible

http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/ProductsSelector.aspx?c_kind=350  should help you gind a product with built in microphone, if you haven't already done so.

Hik built in mics are ****, at least on the fisheyes and the 2542fwd-is i have found, better going for the ones with the audio inputs and outputs and fitting an external mic. Just fitted a load of ds-2cd2142fwd-is with little white variable gain mics, quality sound off them. If you pick up a hum power the mic off a seperate psu. Any hik nvr will record audio.

2722fwd-is is a 2mp vf with audio io but i always find the fixed lens give a better picture
