    HIKVISION DS-2CD2432F-IW - Repairing (replacing) IR LED

    Awesome! Glad it worked out for you. I'm going to order a couple of the same ones you did. I'm pretty sure one of mine is dead.

    HIKVISION DS-2CD2432F-IW - Repairing (replacing) IR LED

    The part you found on AliExpress looks good to me. Hopefully the polarity of the back part is correct for you. It would be much easier that way. As far as which way they go, I don't remember it being obvious. I used a multimeter to check the polarity of the voltage the camera produces, and also...

    HIKVISION DS-2CD2432F-IW - Repairing (replacing) IR LED

    Next update: Got the IR LED in the mail the other day. I tested the new LED with wires before actually installing it. Judging by the fact that the LED barely feels warm to the touch after 10 minutes of being on, it may not have to be mounted with something thermally conductive. I will error on...

    HIKVISION DS-2CD2432F-IW - Repairing (replacing) IR LED

    I wasn't able to find anything on the web. I have another Hikvision cube camera (2cd2432) which I tested. The specs were 1.63V, 0.264A. The IR angle seems to be greater than 130 degrees. The LED illuminated an 8.5" circle from 2" away. The light seemed to be restricted by the hole in the PCB...

    HIKVISION DS-2CD2432F-IW - Repairing (replacing) IR LED

    I have a Hikvision cube camera ds-2cd2410f-iw that the LED has gone bad in too. If I figure out where to get an LED or any specifics about it, I'll update here.

    On another note, H.265 cameras are supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread. So if you're looking to buy, research H.265 first.

    Just an FYI, I used the above method to flash a swann nhd-820 cam to Hikvision software. Most of the original links in the post are dead now. I encountered an issue trying to flash version 5.1.6 firmware to the camera, where it successfully flashed, but was all but bricked. I ended up flashing...

    The guy I bought from one from was cctv camera china. The link to their store is http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/c1Xwca5i I'm not sure who everyone else is buying them from, but I do remember the words cctv and china. If you google hikvision seller and aliexpress, I'm sure you will find a forum...

    That does suck. I guess I got lucky with the one ebay seller from china that I bought from. I bought one from aliexpress.com also. I had good luck there. A lot of people buying Hikvision cams get them at aliexpress. If you decide to go that route, research the seller first. Most people buy only...

    That is actually awesome to know that POE will work. That means if I want to reflash any of my cams, I won't have to take them down and find a power adapter.

    In my opinion, the crossover cable is much simpler. You won't need the switch then.

    I believe the camera needs to be powered by the 12Vdc wall adapter while it is being flashed. You will also need a CROSSOVER ethernet cable or 2 regular ethernet cables and a gigabit ethernet switch. I used Windows 7 when I did mine. All of this is outlined in the guide I posted.

    I used regular gigabit switches and then put a POE injectors inline with the cameras. I looked a little at POE switches, but they cost more than a switch and an injector.

    So my network traffic is 33Mbits/sec with three 1MP cameras and seven 3MP cameras. The 3MP cams use about 2.5 times the bandwidth that the 1MP cams use. I will let someone else figure out the numbers, I've been up all night and am very tired.

    Dilbertic, does your POE switch have a gigabit uplink port?
