    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Hi all, Got mine Hik 2335 6mm delivered back end of last week. I told the seller that if they didn't ensure my 6mm lens was perfect, they'd have the wrath of the ipcamtalk people to answer to :) Anyway, spent a long time up a ladder installing mine yesterday (my legs are killing me today)...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Beginning to see a pattern emerge here with the 6MM Hik ULL and focusing, is this just a one-off or a problem with the 6mm in particular?

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Triumph, Totally know first hand about the IR reflecting of the house eaves........ When i replaced my original 3MP HIK 4mm turret with a 4MP HIK 2.88mm turret i had no idea the smaller lense would reflect of the roof cladding, it's that bad at night you might as well switch the camera off...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Well done on the comparison Triumph, just waiting for your "No floodlight at night" pics to help me decide which one to go for. Looking at the pics, the Hik ULL appears sharper during the day and also better at picking up the license plate letters at night (although it is floodlit) I have no...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Nice one Triumph, I've waited this long, so another 5 days is worth it. When you test them, can you also test in AUTO dawn/dusk switching mode, so that we can see what the picture is like without any external IR illuminators and that they use their own internal IR lights instead? I must admit...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    It seems like Reeves (Mr Dahua) vs Ralph (MR Hikvision).... Obviously you both give a great account of yours cameras, but side by side which one is the best? I almost ordered the Hik, then read Reeves comments, but I need a true side by side comparison to decide. Is this possible?

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Cheers Ralph, apologies I missed the 3 part LOL My only concern is all that carry on you had with the left side of the screen with soft focus on the 6mm. Did you get another one from them or a refund? Anyone else by the Hikvision in 6mm and confirm that the focus issue was ok? Ralph, is that...

    Same here, I need a 6mm replacement for my crappy 4MP Hik Turret, night time picture is terrible (even with an IR illuminator) Come on guys, Starlight or DS-2CD2335FWD-I ???? (and the HIK is 2MP not 3MP as mentioned by OPs title)

    Excellent review, your reply was like a roller coaster, one minute you favour one, then the other, LOL Could you please let us know what the DS-2CD2325FWD-I is like when you get it? I have both the DS-2CD2342WD-I 3MP and DS-2CD2352WD-I 4MP in 2.8mm and the 52WD is far worse at night than the...

    Where to buy DS-2CD2352WD-I Hikvision Turret 5Mp Camera?

    Thanks guys, i'm in the UK. Is it worth sticking with a DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MP then? I have one in the 2.8mm lens, which is terrible in low light, so thought the new 5MP one would be better all round. I might just stick with the DS-2CD2342WD-I and get it in a 6mm lens instead. Anyone recommend a...

    Hi, Any genuine resellers of the new 5mp Hikvision Turret? There's a few sellers on Aliexpress, but they refer to it as EXIR cam or Hik Cam, no mention of Hikvision. So I thought i'd ask on here what anyone can suggest. Thanks

    Someone explain IR Illuminators plz + questions

    Couple of questions on IR illuminators 1) Do they need to be near the IP Camera and pointing in the same direction and angle as the camera? Or can I have the camera on a high wall and the IR illuminator at ground level? 2) I have a spare Ethernet-ended Cat cable line going outside which is...

    New invention idea for Spider webs near external IP Cameras

    Since owning IP cameras and using them outdoors, I've always had problems with spider webs obscuring the video. Tried simple techniques like clearing the webs every week, Spider-x (only works for a few days) and even a separate Illuminator away from cam, but here's an idea. I have a spare POE...

    2 questions: Lead Flashing reflection on roof + POE Illuminators

    Just replaced my old Hikvision cam with a ds-2cd2342wd-i In hindsight I should have got a bigger lens, but I got a 2.8mm. This is resulting in a wider angle and at night it's getting a bright area where it illuminates against the lead flashing on the roof... anyone else had this? Is there any...

    Hikvuision NVR says "Offline Parameter Error" when connecting to Hikvision Cam

    I do have the cam plugged directly in the router, the same as the nvr. Could it be the firmware on the nvr? My NVR is v3.0.8 build 140825 with AARR in the serial number (bought from Aliexpress CCTV China Store, genuine reseller) My Cam is v5.3.6 build 151105 with BBWR in the serial number...
