Hikvision NVR (7600 series)

Are you picking the right CAMERA or NVR DRIVER?

The Hikvision Camera Driver H264 Sub Stream is to be used if the cameras are plugged into a POE switch (Note use POE+ switch for best results) and not connected to NVR.

The Hikvision DS-7600 Series NVR Control4 Driver License is for new installations using latest controllers and touchscreens and cameras are plugged into the NVR. Note if you have a few ip cameras plugged into poe+ switches if you have room on nvr add manually. DS-7604 DS-7608 DS-7616 are supported when using firmware 3.4.96 or below.

The Hikvision DS-7716 Series NVR Control4 Driver License is for legacy installations. Use this if you have no current controllers or touchscreens.

If you have mix of legacy touchscreen, a new EA controller and a DS-7716 contact support and ask for level 2 tech info.

Hikvision DS-7600 series NVR firmware only has H264 settings for the camera no mpeg settings when plugging in cameras directly to the NVR.

By using the sub stream of the cameras we now have no restrictions on the record quality on the NVR.
In the past the drivers used the main stream and where restricted to 720p for best display on T3 with no green lines.
