Would connecting a third party camera like Hikvision to my Vivotek NVR cause a drop in resolution with the video recording? That's what the Vivotek people said if I were to use a third party camera. Like an 8MP camera will not produce 8MP recordings but at lower resolution via ONVIF. How far is that true?

[@LearnCCTV]

Hi Ian. The integration via ONVIF is not as efficient as using the manufacturer protocol. So, yes you can have lower performance when using ONVIF, especially now that Hikvision was banned from ONVIF and is no longer supported. Usually, the problem is more related to use more bandwidth and the lack of some intelligent features. I never saw problems related to the resolution before but everything depends on how good the ONVIF integration is and as I said, now Hikvision could have some issues... so it could happen...Vivotek NVR could have a hard time communicating via ONVIF to a Hikvision camera for the 8MP. I recommend you try to update the firmware on both sides and try again. Also, try testing the camera with other recorders or software via ONVIF (Read this article learncctv.com/best-cctv-software/)

Can onvif work with Lorex nvr?

[@emmanuelokere3262]

How can i record many stand alone 4G PTZ cameras to an NVR in a central location?

[@krupaj2256]

I have a doubt: can multiple profiles say Profile S and G work simultaneously in ONVIF cameras. Can live streaming and recording be done together?

[@LearnCCTV]

Yes.

Hi! I have a wireless N3960 security camera which I want to connect to my H. 264 Wireless NVR Set top box, but am having problems. Could you please suggest what I could do, to sort this problem out. Mank thanks.

[@LearnCCTV]

Hi Sean. I could help if you give me more details such as the DVR brand (Sony, Panasonic, Bosch, Samsung, Hikvision, Dahua, etc...) and also the setup box. N3960 and H.264 are NOT brands, so I have no idea which devices you really have. It's like saying "I have a car with 4 tires and it's broken please help me to fix it". It's necessary to have more details... please let me know so I can go from there.

[@seanashcroft9713]

@@LearnCCTV Hello and thanks for your reply. The system is a Hodely 4 Channel Wireless Network recorder Kit. MODEL: XF2514S-ZW-K SYSTEM: NTSC POWER: 12 Volt 2 Amp The system supports N1 & ONVIF Protocols and some default protocol (I'm not sure what protocol that is.) The camera is a N3960 colour / 12 LED assisted night vision. The camera is 12 volts and I believe a 2 meg. It is weatherproof, about 2 inches by 3 inches in size with a small 2 inch antenna and has a short power cable that is terminated by a female input jack that has a small switch on it. The camera came as part of a SWANN Security camera setup that I bought years ago, but could never get to work. Unfortunately that is all the info I have on the camera, but if if would help, perhaps there is some info I could get from inside the camera housing?

[@LearnCCTV]

​@@seanashcroft9713 As far as I could see (searching on Google), Your Swann camera N3960 is an ANALOG camera and your recorder is an NVR (Network Video Recorder). If that's true they are NOT compatible at all. Analog cameras can be connected to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) Meanwhile IP cameras can be connected to NVRs. So basically you are trying to use an analog camera with an IP recorder. The ONVIF protocol you mentioned is used to allow communication between two different brands. Let's say you want to connect your NVR Manufactured by Hodely (I'm assuming this is the brand or manufacturer) to a Samsung IP camera, since they use different protocols, you need to have a common "language" and that's ONVIF. Please watch the following video to understand the concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3SboHqam6-emqs

can ONVIF work with amcrest products?

[@LearnCCTV]

Yes

[@boytongo]

I have a 32 ch dahua nvr recorder with many onvif cameras and other brand of cams connected to it. Why is it that there are two videos that are exactly the same on the monitor. When I look in the config, one says that its manufacturer is onvif and the other one is private. They have the same ip address. Why is that?

[@LearnCCTV]

You are getting two video streaming from the same camera using different protocols. ONVIF which is a generic universal protocol and the camera proprietary. You don't need to pull two video streamings. Just use the propriety one.

[@boytongo]

@@LearnCCTV thank you for your immediate reply. I will do it.... Keep safe...

[@ocdtechtalk]

Onvif is a joke. There is no enforcement of standards. Different manufacturers can decide how much or how little of the protocol to implement. Your explanation is spot on. In the field it is a huge failure.

[@LearnCCTV]

Thank you for your opinion I've seen good (Samsung Techwin + Axis) and bad implementation (non-branded cameras). It all depends on how good your products are.

[@ocdtechtalk]

@@LearnCCTV Thank you for your reply. You are absolutely correct. IMHO better control needs to be exerted by the Onvif consortium.
