All you need to do is creating an account and adding device into the account, then you can enjoy the real-time video from cameras on a global scale.

You can use iVMS-4200 on a Mac as well, which works fine, but the interface is quite clunky and feels old.

If you are using Hikvision’s newest Acusense cameras, or high-resolution cameras, then one of the most important specifications is the incoming bandwidth budget. There is an HDMI and VGA port that allows one monitor to be connected, however, the NVR can also be accessed remotely via Hik-Connect or a browser.

Hikvision NVR comes in different series, such as Pro, Ultra, DeepinMind, Value, Special series and Pro Series with AcuSense, catering to various application scenarios. Above all this DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR has the capacity to hold 2x Hard Disk up to 6TB, you can keep high quality recordings saved for a very long time. One thing that I should warn you about is macOS compatibility - accessing Hikvision NVRs from macOS browsers can be problematic as certain menus will be missing. Data management becomes centralized and easy with Hikvision NVRs serve as a management hub for valuable data from various edge devices including access control, alarm sensors, network, thermal, and solar-powered cameras, and more. M-Series – these are Hikvision’s newest and most powerful 8, 16, and 32-channel NVRs, released in 2022, they are the best option to use for any brand-new system or if you plan to upgrade a number of cameras in your existing system, as they will perform best with all of Hikvision’s new technology.ColorVu cameras will also work on all of these NVRs and the NVR you use will not impact how well the low-light imaging will work. The PC run headless and the cameras have never had a firmware update, I just updated windows os or blueiris. As you can see from the table below, the new M-Series NVRs are the most futureproof as they can support up to 32MP cameras and display two cameras in this resolution simultaneously.
