Hello
I have 2 HIK 16CH NVRs that I would like to broadcast to two 75" TV's on a LAN over ethernet.
What is the best way to do this? Using Windows & HIK-Connect or Android with something like TinyCam?

Thank you.
 
1. some android cctv apps on TV with android / google tv operating system (or any google tv dongle)...
2. the same on Apple TV...
3. HDBaseT transceivers which transfers HDMI signal (4K) from NVRs to TV over CAT6 cable (no switches between, direct cable)..
4. HDMI over fiber cable between NVRs and TVs...

in case of Dahua there is 5 possibility - extra NVR located next to TV which streams from other NVRs and is only for displaying. But I don't know is this possible on HIK...
6. there are dedicated video decoders (box with ethernet and HDMI output) from both HIK & Dahua..
7. if you have external POE switch for cams, you can move NVR somewhere next to tv and use direct HDMI cable...

I'll just go with a Lenovo Tiny PC connected to the TV running HIK-Connect.
was hoping there was an easier solution but all good. thx

you can use hik connect.. but I don't think it will work 24/7 without any problems...

apps (mobile/desktop) from hik / Dahua are very bad...

most stable 24/7 cam live view is what NVRs have over HDMI.. it simply works...

i've had the hik-connect lite app running on a pc to tv-with 29 days up time.
its stable, just cumbersome is all
