Some Onvif cameras can work with hik Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43053-cameras-compatible-with-hik/#findComment-487811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the stuff you see on amazon they are, but we have just had that conversation on the Oswu alarm system topic. OP you get what you pay for, especially so with CCTV. In order to make something cheaper you have to produce it cheaper, like using plastic lenses that warp in the sun and cant be focused or reject chips that work but have been rejected due to dead pixels or similar. I dont use Hik but they are what I would call the premium cheap end of the market, Hik are really good value for money from what I have seen of them. If you think Hik are expensive take a look at Mobotix, 6 times the price. In answer to your question though any Onvif camera will work Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43053-cameras-compatible-with-hik/#findComment-487818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 As above really Onvif should be compatible but your most likely to have the least messing about if you fit a Hik. Trap you to a plug and play platform like that.

Prodigious Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 I have a DS-7604NI-K1/4P NVR with 2x POE cameras DS-2CD2345FWD 2.8 Which I paid £376 at dvs the cameras were roughly£87 each. I will probably get another hik camera but for future reference are there alternatives to go with a hik nvr? And do they just plug and play like a hik camera does Thrones Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43053-cameras-compatible-with-hik/#findComment-487823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
