    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    I do too, but this camera gave me something I couldn't get with Dahua when I purchased it (and may still not be able to get): wide and tall FOV with IR for night.

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    Too many options, and they are not intuitive. In fact, I think there may be some software issues on these cameras to where the options aren't functional.

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    I bumped the sensitivity from 60 to 80 as an experiment, using intrusion only. The documentation behind the help button is somewhat generic to all/many cameras. It doesn't even mention vehicle/human selections on the Basic Event config as far as I could tell. Perhaps they weren't even meant...

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    Still trying to sort out event / motion detection on an Annke branded Hikvision camera. Asking here because I believe the configuration is about the same. What I want: To detect only humans and vehicles in my driveway. On my old Dahua cam it was easy to set and worked remarkably well. Now...

    Help with Hikvision event detection: basic vs. smart settings

    Thanks. This doesn't seem to be the case for me. If I enable Basic and check both human and vehicle, I get almost continuous motion - it seems to be picking up every flicker, every bug, every snowflake... If I do the same with Smart, it seems to improve, but I'm also not sure how Smart...

    Help with Hikvision event detection: basic vs. smart settings

    Hi all, Resurrecting this as I didn't get an answer previously - do I use BASIC or SMART events to get only human and vehicle detection within a specific area? I'm still setting up my first Hik-variant camera. Thanks!

    Help with Hikvision event detection: basic vs. smart settings

    HI all, First Hikvision-variant camera (Annke FCD600) after using Dahua exclusively. Can you help with event detection settings? I'm looking for only human and vehicle detection inside a defined area in the field of view. I'm not sure if this is considered "basic" or "smart". "Human" and...

    POE problem - please help me understand

    It’s a device with a 120v plug. No additional power supply.

    POE problem - please help me understand

    Yes - checked that multiple times. I'm reading now about 24V passive POE injectors vs. 48V vs. 802.3af/at...possibly some of my issue (as I don't yet understand the differences!),

    POE problem - please help me understand

    Hi all, Possibly a novice question, but I'm no networking expert. My home network switches (TP-LINK TL-SG1008P) are a combination of POE (for cameras and WAPs) and non-POE. All cameras work fine when connected to the POE ports of the switches. For testing, I've been trying to connect a new...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Thanks. Maybe I’m concerned about nothing. I’ll wait to see how much adjustment it needs when I get it installed. Thanks!

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Those who have the turret version of the FCD600 or similar: Do you find the range of adjustment of the angle of the camera is very limited without putting the wire in a tough bend? Trying to figure out if there is something I'm missing...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I have the PFA130-E with a Dahua camera in the location currently. The FCD600 is BIG compared to the PFA130-E, and I don't think the holes line up on the cover at all. Since the install is in a soffit, I may just do away with the junction box and cut out a shape matching the base of the FCD600...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I'll need to hang it from the top in some way. I am probably better off with the turret and looking for a mounting solution (junction box) which fits. I was unable to find one the last time. Thanks!

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Hi all, I'm wanting to try the FCD600 camera again; I initially returned it because the turret version was huge and would not mount to my existing junction boxes. Wondering if anyone has the bullet version? Can it be mounted under an overhang? The mount I see online leads me to believe no -...
