The NHD-1200D/DE/BE cameras work with NVRx-8580RN or NVRx-8780RN; but NOT with NVRx-8580 or NVRx-8780. Like many other companies that are affected by the Global electronics chipset shortage, Swann were forced to use a different chipset to continue the 8580/8780 series whilst keeping the same features and overall performance as the previous chipset. Unfortunately the previous chipset used in our NVRs is not able to decode 12MP video streams and therefore is not compatible with our new 12MP camera range.
