Frequently asked questions
How many cameras does an office need?
How many cameras does an office need?
Start from the entry points, then add lobbies, corridors that lead to sensitive rooms, loading areas and parking. Most single-floor offices land between six and twelve cameras; a free design consultation gives you a count and a layout.
Can we manage doors and cameras from one system?
Can we manage doors and cameras from one system?
Yes. HikCentral manages Hikvision cameras, access control and intercom together, so an access event can pull up the matching video and permissions are set in one place.
Do we need a server?
Do we need a server?
Not necessarily. Smaller systems run on an NVR; HikCentral Connect runs in the cloud with no on-site server; HikCentral Professional runs on a server for larger or multi-site deployments.
