Thats why I run Scrypted as the NVR. Cam is just doing the AI processing
But agree the web component that Hikvision uses that still relies on internet explorer is 
As it turns out, since V4.82.100 build 240606 - it runs in HTML5, finally!
God forbid Iâm a Mac user
I use the: DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL camera

Itâs nice to not have to use a web components extension anymoreâŠ.
Likely wonât change them, tbh. Not yet anyway, not until I can justify the costâŠ. I do have a spare PC, so I may look into using that as an NVR first
Since upgrading my NVR to the version listed above, it has broken my homebridge intergration
Ordered 4 of the new PTZ UniFi Cameras!

Yeah got 2 as they cancelled 2 as I wasnât allowed to order 4 lol
Yeah they are very decent, tracking is very clean tbh
I canât wait for the ONVIF support to come to Protect, I can hopefully unplug my Hikvision NVR then

They will just allow the hick vision Cameras to be plumbed into Protect directly. I havenât actually tried doing it at the moment, so it could work now for all I know
2K 4MP i think

Have you had a look at the Annke cameraâs - they are made by Hikvision and much cheaper usually. I have a bunch of their âNightChromaâ ones including 2 that are 4K.
Pretty impressive

For anyone interested, these are 5 years old, way out of date, but nearly every camera (except Axis, who design their own chips) has dahua / hikvision silicon.
Reolink are Raysharp
Other companies that I believe use their own chips are
Ubiquiti
Nest
Arlo
Cisco
Iâm sure there is others.

Definitely useful, unless you need POE for APs
too late for me, already ripped up the floorboards and run extra cat6 to drive my 2.5G devices 
this wouldâve saved a bunch of time (as Iâm not keen on adding non-unifi devices to the network) but wouldnât have been quite as fun

Hi @Rik I bought Annke H800. The only disappointment is the noise from HDD. I think itâs been a very long time I havenât used HDD:) if it was SSD, it would be much quieter. I need to keep it in my living room due to set-up.
Hi @nexusmaniac
I love their quality. My only disappointment is that we have to use only their video cameras which is very costly.
Unifi protect is compatible with lots of 3rd party cameras now

Partially compatible
Not fully, For example, I tried my hikvision cameras And didnât get any lying crossing detection or motion detection, The two way audio did not work either
