    Dome vs. mini dome (DS-2CD2142FWD-IS vs. DS-2CD2542FWD-IS) / PIR needed for automated surveillance?

    Not sure I understand this reply. My point not about being in warranty or not, it was just to show that, at least according to my personal experience of 20+ cams of this type, 1/3 of the 2542's systematically failed for the IR cut filter, while none of the 2142 and 2642 I have did. Some failed...

    Dome vs. mini dome (DS-2CD2142FWD-IS vs. DS-2CD2542FWD-IS) / PIR needed for automated surveillance?

    I just wanted to chip in with my experience of Hivision mindome (2542) and domes (2142). Yes they both start doing IR glare if the clear dome gets dirty or starts aging, but supposedly they are more resisting to tampering and sometimes it's not immediately obvious where they are oriented...

    Hikvision intercom modular system: what is "outer door station" mode and how do you configure it?

    That's what I thought. But if you go to the main door station, "Device Management" page, and try to add the "outer door station", there is no option for it. You can only add "Sub Door Station", "Indoor Station", "Decoder Station". I Tried them all and none works. If anybody finds this out, it...

    Hikvision intercom modular system: what is "outer door station" mode and how do you configure it?

    so this is similar to what I have: large property with entrance gate (outer door station), house with main door station. Each has a keypad. I can set different passwords for both units, as a gardener must be able to enter the property but not the house; other people must be able to enter both...

    R3 camera DS-2DF8236I-AEL: no "Platform Access" option in the menu to enable Hikconnect

    Any suggestion on how to connect this camera to hikconnect? It boggles my mind why it would not have hikconnect settings, since much older and cheaper cameras do. I recently found out it works on hikconnect locally (within the lan) just fine, it's just missing the settings to activate...

    Hikvision DS-KD-M card reader - firmware update

    Well eventually it turned out I cannot upgrade it. In the EU firmware download there is an explanatory txt that says that unless there is a N in the label behind the device, you are stuck to firmware 1.0.0. Why is it that the same global company has different downloads, and different versions...

    Hikvision DS-KD-M card reader - firmware update

    Hello, I have an Hikvision DS-KD-M card reader, attached to my KD8003 door intercom. DS-KD-M firmware is 1.0.0 and I just downloaded the 2.0.0 version. Unzipping the file there is two .bin files in it, identical in size and similar name: one ends with "net", and one ends with "serial". Which...
