Warwickdigi Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hey guys new to the forum. I have recently took on quiet a big contract they have a existing setup of over 30 cameras with 3 DVRs. So basically I’ve installed a extra 4 cameras on top of there existing setup from one of the DVRs onsite. They have a office where they can view all of the cameras from one DVR. So I thought that installing the cameras on the existing setup would automatically populate in the office but that’s not the case. Any ideas? They have Hikvision DVRs and have never dealt with a setup with multiple DVRs I know it’s probably going to be something silly I am missing here any help would be great.

petrolhead Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Did you not check before taking on the contract that you were suitably qualified and experienced to maintain the equipment? Edited April 25, 2018 by petrolhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Nah just wondering as thats the kind of thing a first year apprentice knows, seems a bit blaggerish to take on sites when you don't know how to work on the kit, that contract could have went to someone who actually knows what they are doing but hey thats just me. Its likely either a pc running ivms or they have fitted a 32ch nvr or decoder and added are using it as a matrix.

Told you your hardcore Apprentice if your working with someone who knows how As an expert blagger I don't take on sites which I don't know about , and don't really know what he's on about Just assuming what I have learnt from the men here , it's an IP system and there using rtsp or something to view all the cams in one room or onvif or another NVR to register the cams over a link Or as you say ivms on pc? Typical I didn't read your thread properly you already said all that, who needs manuals lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrolhead Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It'll most likely be analogue/tvi dvrs, feeding into a central ivms or hardware decoder. The cameras will need to be added manually for each camera. Its quite straightforward and hik offer free training courses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwickdigi Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thanks for the reply’s guys figured it out in the end was quiet straight forward really. Was no need to come across like that petrol head I’m no apprentice just been mainly doing domestic over the last few years. Like I said in my post I haven’t touched anything with multiple DVRs before. I like to take on challenges and learn onsite where I can.

petrolhead Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Was the client aware that "you havent touched anything with multiple DVRs before and that you like to take on challenges and learn onsite where you can" before awarding a big contract or did they think they were getting someone suitably qualified and experienced? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
