Pairing WiFi cameras to HIKvision DVR
My system is about 10 years old. I have been updating this old analog (BNC) system over the years, instead of changing out cables or going fully IP. Inexpensive and stable system. I have added newer cameras and I just upgraded the DVR to HIKVISION IDS-7208HQHI-M1/XT (8Channels). The DVR has 4 IP channels and I want to add WiFi cameras. We have excellent WiFi/access points/cables, so throughput is no problem. A 4M camera here is about 2000 Thai Baht/$70 US (HIKvision DS-2CV1043G2-LIDWE WiFi pan and tilt) or TP-LINK TAPO cams look interesting. Q: has anybody successfully added IP cameras to this (or similar) HIKvision DVRs? I ask because the DVR equipment vendor told me adding IP cams won't work, and to stick with analog cameras only. I don't want to waste $70 on a camera just to find out Thanks in advance!
