Reolink RLC-520 IP Camera on Hik DS-7604Nl-K1/4P(B)

[BillyC]

Hi Everybody,

After much ado a few months ago, i got my 2x IC Realtime Turret IP cameras working alongside my 2x Hik DS-2CD2346G2-IU on this HIKVISION NVR.

I owe this forum a debt of gratitude for all the solid help i got from the admin guys on here, really top notch!!

However, my new Hik cameras have really shown how poor my ICRealtime night vision is. Really poor, they are worlds apart.

So i have purchased a few RLC-520 from Reolink and i plan to replace the 2 ICRealtime with 2 of these. I am just curious as to how well they work with Hik NVR.

I am hoping if i just copy the ip address, password and port settings used for the 2 old Onvif ICR's onto the Rlc-520 that they will just fire up.

Any thoughts guys?

Thank you
