    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Probably, just the luck I get. Let's compare firmware versions I have v5.5.160 build 210209 and v5.5.154 build 200928 on my cameras.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes, I am about to throw a wobbly, even mentions gain in spec sheet :) I see no exclusion saying 'excludes Night-Owl'

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I can only think that something I have on or off makes this option not available or 4mm does not have this option, but I doubt they remove just for 4mm etc. Just checked out the one without firmware update and no option on that either.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Sorry, thought I was on to something. Installed plugin and now have Playback and Picture in Menu at top which I did not have before but still no Gain, weird.com :(

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Sorry everyone, I think I might have figured this, I looked at the screen shot and it had stuff like playback on the top that mine did not. I believe I need to install the plugin and these missing items might appear, I am now madly trying to find a spare laptop to do this on, report back soon.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Don't worry, I have repurposed one of the 2 opened cameras to the back already, the chickens are safe tonight and theirs 3 motion led flood lights in that area that will help it out if anything is detected :)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes, not on mine, now I am well confused, just check out both my 4mm, one on older firmware, one on latest and neither has this. I think yours is 2.8mm ?, Surely this is not only on 2.8's, do you have a 4mm to check this ?. Thanks

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    3rd Lorex Kit actually LOL, I have one of the previous sets installed at my late father's house I now rent and it's perfect their because everything I want to see is within 5-6 metres of the camera. Got a older version installed at my brother in law's but this weekend he is buying the latest...

    Dahua CCTV NVR not showing motion parts.

    I have a usb to ethernet adapter so yes I can do ethernet and WiFi. If I get time I will find a trial of Blue Irris and investigate what all this Blue Irris stuff is all about :)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Come on guys and girls, play nice, everyone has an opinion, everyone's is welcome, I have 2 areas on my property with more light i.e the back as it's got flood lights in various areas, so I can replace the Lorex 4K with the Hik's their if need be, it's no big deal, if we manage to convince...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hello k110, I am certainly not saying this camera is bad in fact as an overview camera it's excellent. I have a ring doorbell so I don't need to see people at very close range, the ring is perfect for that. I want clear, perfect facial shots of people on the walkway, with no motion blur. I...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I have no doubt that 2 more 5442's would have been way to go now, but I have a severe hole in my pocket from the 4 Hiks, was to overcome by 4K Pictures in the Dark but I can see now that because of low light, they are useless with motion. A lesson learnt, a warning to all, please make sure you...

    Dahua CCTV NVR not showing motion parts.

    Probably more like within the week, the issue is purely a decent pc with 2 x Network Cards, I have a few decent laptops around, none with 2 Network Cards and laptops are a pain to upgrade. I have a PC also but I would have to add another Neteork Cards and it's getting old now. So we will see.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I wish it is that simple, the Hiks are from.a trade supplier, no returns unless faulty if opened. I have already opened 2 of the 4. The NVR is from Andy and I doubt faulty. I need to become more like pozzello and just crack open the cameras and put a different lens in them of tweak the focus...

    Dahua CCTV NVR not showing motion parts.

    In the last 1/2 hr I have found a most annoying issue, my new Dahua player is not recording motion, even when set, I just see 24/7 recording, no yellow bits etc to show when motion was, that's with the Dahua and Hikvision cameras, only cameras purely set to motion only are showing the motion...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I guess if you have pointing down the path then eventually any camera will give good shot at the point suspect gets into focus, one each side I guess to capture people walking in either direction. Unfortunately I have a very small house, so don't really get anough angle to do that. I could put...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Oh no, BI mentioned again, pushing me closer and closer to thinking i should try it out ;). It seems you are good with opening up cameras and changing lens etc, i refrain mainly as I am crazy about scratches etc and hence to frightened to try at risk of damaging it. But for those that are not...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    This would be an idea, but if I was going 4/5 MP, I would go back to Dahua on the 5442's,

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Totally agree but no gain control, this is on a high shutter speed 1/120, I have tried reducing to 1/50 to see if it stops it increasing gain to much and hence causing further issues.
