    lost my allen wrench for hikvision ds-2cd2732f-is

    Does anyone know what size allen wrench came with the hikvision ds-2cd2732f-is? I need to move or replace mine and need to get it apart. I was able to remove it from its temporary location (over 6 years is temporary, right?), need to get the cover off to remount it properly. Thanks

    Camera fried or not?

    Also, that is with the default settings on the 4MP. Haven't tweaked it yet.

    Camera fried or not?

    The 3MP does look brighter due to the security/street light is right behind the transformer, on the right pole. You can see the shadows on the 4MP side from the light.

    Camera fried or not?

    Here are 2 night shots. The top one is the 4MP, the other is just to the right and about 15 feet back, it is a 3MP

    Camera fried or not?

    It is much clearer. We do have a street/security light 90 degrees to the right of it. It is a lot wider view than the previous camera. 4MP is 2688x1520 3MP is 2048x1536

    Camera fried or not?

    The 4MP seems to be a nice camera, they did change the layout of the GUI though. Took me a while to find everything.

    Camera fried or not?

    It looks like the jack is fried. Probably the same as the other cam, just haven't looked yet.

    Camera fried or not?

    It is dark out now, will try to get a pic this week. I should have a 4MP replacement mid week. I will take it down then and will be able to get a better pic.

    Camera fried or not?

    I did redo the previous jacks and replaced the patch cable as well. I have probably 100 cat6 jacks in my stash (probably a couple hundred patch cables as well.) If the new jack works, then I can move the camera to an indoor location to be safe. I need one in the basement anyway ;-)

    Camera fried or not?

    I might just upgrade these to the 4MP version. There are a couple sellers on Amazon claiming US versions, but some say they are hacked to be US and updates will revert back to Chinese. EDIT: I just ordered a DS-2CD2342WD-I from Amazon (SafeGuard Designs) for $113. I used to buy from Wrightwood...

    Camera fried or not?

    Hi all, We had our roof replaced above where 2 cameras sit. It rained between tearoff and getting all the flashing back up and 2 of the cameras got wet. They are Hikvision 3MP turrets, the rj45 connectors show burns on the jack and the patch cable. The camera also shows the same I replaced the...

    I ended up returning the Engenius and the Unifi lite. I picked up 2 of the Unifi AP AC LR. The Engenius had excellent signal on a horizontal plane, but it did suffer a bit from the vertical side. if you were outside a certain degree of center it would affect the signal. If you were within...

    This Engenius doesn't have the pretty interface, but I have had excellent success with them before. It was $172.99 and it does what it should. So it is cheaper than 2 of the LR from Ubiquiti. I will need to tweak it a bit to cut down on the power due to the large coverage area. You don't usually...

    Just for testing, I picked up an Engenius ENS1750. The Ubiquiti falls way short. I am able to run speed test from 200' outside my house and get 35-40mbps on 2Ghz, and 18-20mbps on 5Ghz. The Ubiquiti lost signal 25' from the house. I am able to cover the full house with the one Engenius. The...

    I changed the width to HT40 and VHT80 and my connect speeds increased greatly. Will give this a try for a while and see how it goes.

    I installed the lite last night. Signal is decent overall. The engenius was stronger in some areas, but the ubiquiti has a more even coverage since it isn't as directional.

    I ordered a Lite to test. Should be here this week.

    I have been happy with Engenius, but all of mine are outside units, single band and older. Not to mention they don't look so great inside. I might have to give Ubiquiti a try,

    We have a 6000 (3000 over 3000 2-story) sq ft house and approximately 20 wifi connected devices. Currently I am re-purposing 2x ENH201 for 2.4ghz (one is primarily for my 7 wifi thermostats) and an ENH500 for the 5ghz side. I am looking for a simpler AP config to clean up the clutter. The...

    BI 4.3.3.1 x64 CPU usage drop

    Just updated to 4.3.3.1 and my CPU has dropped from over 45% to 29-33%. I have 10x Hikvision 3MP running at 10fps and no HW acceleration. I have to say that is a great improvement. The lowest it has been since having these 10 cameras connected. These are running on an I7-3770k

    Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-I(S) PoE issue

    I am not using my power budget, I think I have a 200w budget and only 5 cams on the switch pulling about 1/10th of that. I am not sure if this model can be powered by an AC adapter, but will check.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-I(S) PoE issue

    We had a power failure, now one of my DS-2CD2532F-I(S) cameras won't power up. The PoE switch was on a surge protector and UPS. The other 9 cameras are working and the PoE port on the switch is still working (tested by moving another camera to it). Any suggestions to bring it back to life?

    Rebranded Hikvision?

    Didn't realize you could get the 4MP for that.

    Rebranded Hikvision?

    It was on sale the other day, I think $129 or $139. Must have returned to normal price.
