    Question regarding POE

    Personnaly I do not recommend RJ45 only for outdoor PTZ. The only times I saw that is with some Axis PTZ, but Axis provide a specific Hi-Power POE injector and recommend specific RJ45 cable. The problem is more the quality of RJ45 cable where the conductor (cooper or Aluminium/cooper) is too...

    DS-2DE4220-AE Audio Question

    My exprience with mics was only for Casinos, where they use directional pre-amplified mics rear a mix table to inject the LINE signal through the cams. So not too much familiar with domestic quality where you can find simple mic for less than $5 or a little more accurate with level/gain...

    Question regarding POE

    No, You will need 2 cables : 1 x rj45 + 1 x DC power 12v. 40w is too much for RJ45 wiring. Don't forget a PTZ consumes power = camera+ heating + IR lighting. So don't play with that and use 2 cables. I never saw a decent external PTZ just powered by a single RJ45 only. Hope this helps.

    Hikvision clear dome question

    This is a very common issue with fixed domes with IR embedded. You have comments and solutions on HIK web. The problem comes from the black foam who don't apply correctly against the translucid plastic, so what you see is the reflection of the IR leds who reach the angles of the lens. Dust and...

    DS-2DE4220-AE Audio Question

    I think you will need to add external mic. I didn't see anywhere " mic build in". This is why you have the external connections available. Hope this helps

    Can you recommend the camera model for my situation?

    Hi Minmay, As we do not know the distances and field view you want to manage, it's quite difficult to recommend this or that. Wide angle is 2.8mm and better ones 4mm for general viewing. But as all will depend relating to distances and angle view you want to see. There is no magic way here...

    FW 5.2.0 RTSP doesn't work

    Hi Deltix, I'm not sure your conclusion is correct. This is not because you have only 2 stream available with Hikvison cams, that you cannot have many users at same time per stream. So you can use your main Stream for recording + multi-users live view at same time. Personnaly, I never use the...

    Effectiveness of footage leading to actual arrests, or any other camera sstories?

    Laws are very strict in some country. So looking Inside neighbor area, street is quite always prohibited and the risk is simply to go to court and get a hudge sentence + $$$ to pay. So it's somewhere not easy to fix the rules and limits. I had at the begining some official complains from my...

    IR board, lost a wire connection

    My thoughts here looking the first picture of the board: The requested signal will be necessary to command the IR filer mecanically if front of the video chip. So somewhere you need some signal with enough power for the command, thing the captor itself cannot provide. I'm not quite confident...

    3MP @20fps recommendations

    Thanny, By 2 series, you need to understand : 2-Line Network Camera from HIK catalog. HIK have : 2-Line / 4-Line/ 6-Line etc... 2-Line is for domestic use, so we called 2-series. 2-series exists on 1.3MP and 3MP models. But for the difference on pricing : forget 1.3MP, not interesting at...

    DS-2CD2132 w/2.8 mm -> Poor nightime images

    2.8 mm lens the more critical as the lens is like a bottle neck with a large opening. So for others lens (4/8mm) will be ok too without any problems I found this foam from a shop to build my flight cases. It's not expensive at all original provided by HIK glued in the cam : 3mm thick the one i...

    Hi vandam, First of all, it's very difficult to explain the rules about full video job, just in few lines as it request a lot of kwnoledge : lens understanding and calculate this one according to your needs and plysically find the optimal places where the cams needs to be placed. Then define the...

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    This is one issue: no changelog for 5.2.5 or 5.2.8 Seems 5.2.8 FW structure is different from 5.2.3 and 5.2.5 This is why 5.2.8 is not multilanguage yet.

    Hikvision on Ebay

    Oups.... Duplicate post .... From my point of view 100 Mbps is more than enough for a standard value streaming around 4Mbps per cam: 4 x 4096 kbps = 16 Mbps, so that's fine, even if you use the second Stream available from the cam for webcasting or other use. You can even use 8 POE ports...

    Hikvision on Ebay

    From my point of view 100 Mbps is more than enough for a standard value streaming around 4Mbps per cam: 8 x 4096 kbps = 32 Mbps, so that's fine, even if you use the second Stream available from the cam for webcasting or other use. Most of the cams have 10/100 Mbps ethernet interface as standard.

    Any 3MP Hikvision that accepts external mic?

    That's fine, from my side arrived with multi language. You have two connectors for external I/O and Audio. You need external mic as it's not embedded (normal as it's mini dome). Quality is great and price too for what it does. I have the wifi version and works like a rock.

    Hikvison Permanent Region Code Hack

    Hik doesn't want to distribute via official offices in EMEA the 2 series cams. It was more a killer for their middle and high range products. Too cheap and it request more local ressources, grown their stuff, support, sales people, etc. Just to compare, here locally Hik team is only around 10...
