Frequently asked questions

Do Hikvision cameras work with third-party NVRs?
Hikvision cameras use the ONVIF standard, which means they are generally compatible with most NVR brands. However, for the best performance and full feature access, pairing with a Hikvision NVR is recommended.

What resolution do I need for my property?
For most residential applications, 4MP or 6MP cameras provide excellent detail. For larger commercial sites or areas where number plate recognition is required, 8MP (4K) cameras are a better choice.

Are Hikvision cameras suitable for outdoor use?
Yes - most Hikvision cameras in this category carry an IP67 weatherproof rating, making them suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions.
