    Hikvision unbranded cameras

    I would not recommend any NVR, I've tried several brands and nothing I like. I would start with a small PC with Windows, I use an Intel NUC (4 1/2" square) and run the free Hikvision iVMS4200 software on it or Milestone XProtect. If you have a fast enough PC, maybe BlueIris. You can install the...

    License plate camera question

    I run my 1MP cameras at D1 resolution because most LPR software requires that the plate make up a certain percentage of the image regardless of the resolution. The higher the resolution, the harder the software has to work, the more CPU load it takes. On the other hand, I have an ordinary bullet...

    Hikvision unbranded cameras

    You should ask Milkisbad if his NVR is compatible with genuine Hikvision cameras sold by Wrightwood or the OEM HK from Nellys. If you want to try it with a genuine Hikvision camera from Wrightwood Surveillance, I can provide you the IP address, you can add it to your NVR and see if it works. PM...

    Hikvision Multi-language Version V5.2.5 DS-2CD2032-I

    All new camera coming out of the factory are 5.2.5 so even if they tell you 5.2.0 it's likely going to come as 5.2.5. I have all 3 kinds of v5.2.5, all English, firmware hacked to English and all Chinese. I like variety, LOL. What do you want to know? Features wise, I don't see any difference...

    Can the lens be changed on DS-2CD2032-I ?

    Yes & No, Wrightwood Surveillance, sells 25mm lenses that have been tested on the 2032 and 3332. Not sure on the 2132 as there's a hood that attaches to the lens, but if you can get a lens from another 2132, like say you want to change a 6mm to 4mm, then it should work but not the 25mm as it's...

    Inspire 1 INCREDIBLE!!

    That may be a long wait as DJI has held to their pricing for a long time. The Phantom 1 is still $499 since it's launch and all their new stuff gets more expensive. A lot of cool stuff is coming out of the UK. This one looks to be very interesting with 5MP camera, 1080P video and LED panel...

    Inspire 1 INCREDIBLE!!

    Vector18, did you get one? I just outfitted my DJI Phantom with a gimbal for a Mobius camera (1080P) but have not flown it yet with the gimbal, just came yesterday from the UK. I just need to figure out how to wire the NAZA controller on the Phantom to the gimbal circuit board so I can control...

    Is There a Cam That Will Read License Plates at 30 Yards at Night?

    Bill, I want to the license plate to "glow" as you put it, that way I know the IR is working and reflecting off the plate. Just have to tweak the exposure so it's not overblown. I can say it once or 100 times and people still don't get it. Make the exposure max 1/200 and the gain 75.

    Is There a Cam That Will Read License Plates at 30 Yards at Night?

    No, I just use the IR LEDs that are built into the 2032.

    Hikvision 2432F-IW picture quality issue?

    I agree, it's not very good on any of the Hikvision cameras like this cube compared to my AVTech and Axis cubes I have. I don't need audio, so for me the picture quality and having an IR cut filter on a cube is cool, but audio is lacking. Have you tried an external mic? I believe it has...

    Where to buy??

    Could be, but they have the best firmware updates in the business. You don't even have to look for them, the camera finds them. The problem is by the time I review them, they will be sold out at that price. It takes Bosch a few months to get me a demo camera for a review.

    Where to buy??

    Just got a deal on the Bosch NDC-284-PT, how many do you want? 5MP, mini-dome, microSD card slot, 3.74mm lens. Probably can sell them for $169.99 shipped while their sale goes on. I checked and they have 18 left in inventory. I doubt you can load Hikvison firmware on an OEM camera, try it...

    Where to buy??

    Warranty is relative and I find going with unbranded versions like Q-See, LTS, Nellys HK, Lorex, Swann, Trendnet distances you away from the manufacturer. Wrightwood was offered the same deal as LTS, to sell OEM versions of Hikvision cameras but I talked them out of it because of my really bad...

    Image Rotation on Dahua IPC-HDBW4300E ?

    They don't put that information often in the specs, you just have to know like from reviews and such on my website. But most mini-domes from most manufacturers are 2-axis. Also, all PTZ domes are 2-axis. You can always ask the reseller you are buying from, they should know. You really can't...

    Is There a Cam That Will Read License Plates at 30 Yards at Night?

    You can get a 25mm lens although never tried it in a 2232, but works in 2032 and 3332. That would give you twice the magnification of the 12mm. I can read plates at night with a 12mm 2032 at about 50-60' in 3MP mode, but any further and the numbers would be too small, so my guess is that 25mm...

    Camera for our boat dock

    You can use a Dahua or Hikvision cameras through their cloud without port forwarding. I have not tried this, but the Hikvision site is http://www.ezviz7.com/ and Dahua I believe is http://www.easy4ip.com/ or http://www.dahuap2p.com/. They provide a website where you access the cameras...

    Where to buy??

    The cameras Wrightwood Surveillance sells are English region cameras, meaning the menus are in English out of the box and if you apply firmware updates they will remain English. There are some cameras made for the China market only and in those cases it would say on their site, but all the...

    Camera recommendation?

    The mount pretty easily to a wall or ceiling but are not vandal proof. Are you looking for a dome, if so, the ds-2cd2532f will do that.

    UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board

    Thanks for the help. It looks like they posted this on Radio Control Accessories area of eBay, so maybe a local hobby shop would have it. I'll check tomorrow.

    UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board

    Here's a better shot with a ruler so you can gauge size. There is another 4 pin connector on these cameras, but it's too small, pins don't line up and it's a different style.

    UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board

    OK, take one of the ones on Amazon, this one - http://www.amazon.com/PL2303HX-RS232-Cable-Module-Converter/dp/B008AGDTA4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422161026&sr=8-2&keywords=uart+cable You see it has 4 connectors to go on 4 pins, all cool right, except they are too big to fit in the connector on...

    UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board

    Does anyone know where I can get a plug that plugs into the JP1 UART connector on the Hikvision circuit boards. They all have them, but this is a picture of a 2732 circuit board. I have some dead cameras and want to try and see what the bootloader is doing. .

    License Plates at Night

    Camera is out of the box in that I just mounted and set it up. The trick with license plate capture with this camera is to set the max shutter at 1/200th and gain about 75. Do this for night, and daytime use the standard default exposure. You can set different settings on this camera in the...

    Hikvision Bullets on Amazon

    I complained in a review that I received a China region code camera and the seller asked Amazon to remove that feedback. So take the review with a grain of salt. Also, different sellers share the same review pool as they use the same product ID. so you never know. I believe the seller was...

    License Plates at Night

    I get good plate capture with a Hik mini bullet with a 12mm lens, IR on, mounted at the front of my garage, no problem at night. I'm getting them about 30' from the street, as far as about 50' down the street, so about a 32-38 degree angle depending on where the car is on the street. Headlights...
