NVR w/ Hikvision Cameras
I had a delay issue on latest 7.1.60 with some amcrest cams. Had to set camera to h264 and 1440p CBR, acc audio. I didn't like vbr or the weird higher 2k resolution.

Is there a "use this camera with Blue Iris" post?

This article says the storage amount listed is for a week: Scrypted NVR requires a disk that can store at least 3 days of video for the cameras in the system.
