That sounds very reasonable. Is it a straight forward installation?
Yes, overall I would saw it is straightforward. Getting all cables to the room I've chosen will take a little time and cabling down into a socket brush on a stud wall to keep it all neat. Other than that, easy enough I think.
I looked back at my quote, which was the same but 8ch, £1235 vat, about the same. Are you not tempted to get an 8ch channel just in case you want to add to it, easier to do now than later.
SLightly tempted. But the 4 channel is fanless. All the others make a bit of a racket!
Ah didn't know that, a bit is an understatement! I'm hoping they'll release a quieter 8ch in future so I can swap mine out.
I bought some Noctua fans for my 8ch. Just need to install them.
I can hear my 8ch in my comms cab, if I stick my head in, but I wouldnt call it a racket. I have installed plenty and never had anyone complain about the noise.
Looks like the fanless 4ch is a new model, "B", maybe they'll do the 8ch fanless too in time.
Hikvision NVR Noise figures Hi. I have been looking at the Hikvision data sheets for NVR noise,specifically from the fans and so on .I cannot find any published dB figures for the NVRs. Am I correct in this assumption ?I am considering replacing my DS-7608NI-K2 / 8P - it performs really well but the noise drives... www.use-ip.co.uk
I've cavity walls but with insulation. Do you know if it's possible to run cables up insulated cavities? It's the small bobbly insulation. Id have thought that it would be difficult enough to run cables up a wall even without insulation. How did you manage that?I was originally thinking of just using powerline adapters where the cat 5 cables enter the house but cables would be good if I could get them up the inside of the walls.
I was reading the reviews on ip's website of the Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1-4P(B) | 4 Channel Network Video Recorder. A couple mention noise and one guy seems to think it has a fan.
- it can be really noisy due to vibration of HDD (4TB WD Purple) as the case seems to act as a resonator.
-Slight irritation is that the unit has a fan which is a bit noisy so bear that in mind when considering where to site the unit(Posted on 4 January 2018)
