Common Questions about Hikvision 8MP Cameras

Is 8MP really worth the extra cost over 6MP?

Yes, if you're covering large areas over 15 metres like long driveways or car parks. For standard home doorways and small yards under 10m, 6MP is usually plenty and saves money.

Will my NBN handle 8MP cameras?

NBN 50 (most common plan) easily handles 4-6 cameras. Each 8MP camera uses about 2-4 Mbps with H.265+ compression. NBN 25 works for 1-2 cameras.

How much hard drive space do I need?

Roughly 2-3GB per camera per day. A 4TB hard drive stores about 30 days for 2 cameras, or 15 days for 4 cameras.

Are 8MP cameras worse at night than 6MP?

Standard 8MP can be slightly noisier at night. Choose ColorVu or DarkFighter models if night vision is important - these are designed for excellent low-light performance.

What NVR do I need?

A 4K-capable NVR with H.265+ support. Make sure it has enough bandwidth: 128Mbps minimum for 4 cameras, 256Mbps for 8 cameras. Don't use old 4MP NVRs.

Can I mix 8MP with my existing 6MP cameras?

Yes, as long as your NVR has enough total bandwidth. Check your NVR specs to ensure it can handle the combined data from all cameras.

What's AcuSense and do I need it?

AcuSense detects only humans and vehicles, reducing false alarms by 90%. Costs $50-80 more per camera but stops alerts from pets, leaves, and shadows - worth it for busy areas.

Which lens size should I choose?

2.8mm for wide areas up to 10m (doorways), 4mm for 10-15m (standard driveways).

Should I use PoE or WiFi?

Always choose PoE for 8MP. One cable handles power and data with reliable bandwidth. WiFi 4K cameras need strong 5GHz signal and still need a power cable anyway.

Can I view 4K footage on my phone?

Yes, via Hik-Connect app. It streams lower quality for smooth mobile viewing (uses minimal data), but records full 4K to your NVR for later playback.

Is 8MP overkill for my front door?

Probably. For doorways at 3-5 metres, 6MP gives excellent face ID. Choose 8MP for long distances, large properties, or when you need to zoom in digitally later.

Will 8MP cause lag or slowdowns?

Not if you have a proper 4K NVR. If you see choppy playback or cameras dropping offline, your NVR is underpowered - upgrade to a 4K-rated model.

Are these genuine Australian stock?

Yes, 100% genuine with full 3-year Hikvision Australia warranty and local support. Not grey imports.

What if I'm still unsure between 6MP and 8MP?

Measure your longest viewing distance. Under 15m, Choose 6MP and save money. Over 15m or need number plate capture, go 8MP. Most homes do fine with 6MP.
