[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 428545, member: 2012"] from looking about, it would seem hikvision dont like sellers in china sending to other countries, so they make the firmware specific to the country of sale, so a grey import will work, but it will be chinese with no english option probably not such an issue if you can read chinese though some recorders are POE an have a different port per camera. never used that setup, but it looks fairly simple of plug in each camera to the relevant port and your done (assuming you use the same manufacturer camera as recorder). mine are set up with each camera back to patch panel then into switch, with each camera having its own static IP and the recorder / PC set up that way look at what recording capacity it can take. generally, you can only use the max channels available at a lower resolution, start adding higher resolution cameras and the total channels available drops. probably best to think of how many cameras you want and at what resolution, then find a recorder that can take that, along with a possibility of extra channels incase you decided to add more [/QUOTE]
