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

    What it the varifocal set at ?, I.e as a guide to which one you would need. Hopefully this would give you a guide to if a 4mm or 6mm would be your best bet. I have seen nothing negative about the ColorVu cameras yet. Mind you, the true test is coming when I get mine and use it in very low...

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

    What 2MP camera is it please ?. Certainly a 4MP i.e the HFW5442 series would be fine but we would need to know what you have i.e is that camera mounted very close to the cars as it looks that way, because if it is, the 4K 2.8mm of the ColorVu in discussion would be good I suspect to obtain...

    Lovely, don't worry everyone, I will put this camera to a real test, 1/120 with no led street lights, just a little porch light :). Sitting in the basket waiting to see if discount code is offered :)

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

    If I buy one of these, it will be my first Hikvision, with Dahua you have to Initialise using Config Tool or other means, is this the same with Hikvision ?, If so, do I need to download a tool to do this as I expect my Dahua NVR might not be allowed to initialise ?. But will still be fine after...

    Absolutely crazy excellent. I will take a punt on that new supplier tomorrow as they delivered yours ok it seems :). Sorry Lorex / Dahua, looks like you have been out classed.

    That's cheating, but I am surprised as I am not seeing noticeable motion blur on that :)

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

    I cannot even get a HFW5442E-Z4E staying in colour at 1/120 with a good picture and these are good cameras. I cannot really put more light on the scene as already got porch light and so not much else I can give in the situation as I doubt neighbour's would appreciate a flood light :). I am...

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

    Hi So you have replaced your 2.8mm with a 4mm version ?. Looking at your views, I would say your house to gate is roughly the same as mine, with path about same and the red car opposite maybe equivalent of where my road is as I have a grass area between path and road. So I would be interested...

    WTS [US] Dahua NVR5216-16P-4K2SE v2.0 SOLD

    Hello, I wish I had seen this 2 weeks earlier, as just bought one of these. The PSU fan noise is crazy. Did you fit the PWM or FLX of the NF-A4*20 ?. I am guessing the FLX ?. Thank you

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

    My Lorex cameras don't let you go higher than the 4096, hence why I scrambled to find an article to see if this is correct or not. The Dahua ones however let me go allot higher than required. I hope once all sorted you face no issues viewing all your cameras and hence it saves you buying a new...

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

    Forgot to mention I use H265 Compression encoding also, this means only 4096 bitrate is required for a 4K Camera, I believe on H264+ it's double that. I noted a Hikvision Guide that gives recommended bitrate Vs Camera Megapixels and FPS. Bit Rate Comparison Chart For Hikvision Cameras

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

    T That's it, I cannot take it anymore, all these people buying this camera and saying how it's so good and I still don't have one. I am going to need to decide between a 4 and 6mm one soon :). I would like a perfect facial shot at 6 metres but also at 3 metres as will be putting car on drive...

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

    Hello, I would take it as you say, for example mine says 4 @ 4K 30 FPS. So I would expect 8 @ 4K 15FPS etc. Something that may help I discovered from a previous Lorex Box which was having issues displaying all 8 channels at 4K 15 FPS. If you adjust the bitrate a bit down, at a set point the...

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

    Hello,. I had a packaged Lorex box that came with 8 * 4K Cameras I.e this package Lorex 8 Channel 2TB NVR with 8 x 4K Ultra HD Smart Deterrence Security Cameras | Costco UK. All 8 cameras were running a 4K 15FPS without issues. I now have a nvr5216-16p-4ks2e which is running 7 * 4K cameras at...

    Someone on the forum who prefers Hikvision to Dahua may be able to answer this for you. I am only aware of the Dahua model given, sorry.

    The Ipc-b5442e-ze i.e IPC-HFW5442-ZE is such a varfocal I believe and excellent. It's 4MP and not 4K though. Andy's version is called Ipc-b5442e-ze

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

    Experience is best. I had a shock going from the 2.8 when I noted how much you lose in area but the clarity for catching faces etc is worth it, I just need 4 * 6mm cameras now to cover the same width as 2 x 2.8's did :).

    Hello, Have you used the IPVM calculator for a rough guidance on what a 6mm would give you from your location ?. I find it helps give a good rough guidance. IPVM Camera Calculator V3

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

    4mm they told me maybe month or 2 and 6mm they told me 'never' stocking. But situations change. I am holding out for 4mm version but you have seen by the above that nothing wrong with 2.8, simply a case of what you need for your needs, just checked site and 2.8 showing out of stock already :(...

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

    I will ask the supplier, if it's ok, you would pay me the cost price including vat and delivery to me plus cost of delivery to yourself in UK, which you can arrange yourself if you want. If item goes wrong in 3 years you would have to return to me so I can return to supplier though. I will...
