    "Smarter" motion detection

    Hikvision AcuSense cameras can detect motion only for humans and/or vehicles. I think Dahua WizSense and Dahua WizMind also do that.

    LED vs IR consideration

    Is there any consensus in the forum when you should prefer LED lighting (which is in those "full color" cameras) over IR and vice versa? I've checked cliff notes and LED is not mentioned at all. While reading reviews I get the idea that: LED lighting is good for restricted spaces (eg. entrance...

    Unable to use H.265+ , need help

    Can you enable it on the camera via web interface? If you still can't - try doing full camera reset and then try enabling it immediately afterwards (maybe there's some other setting you have enabled which conflicts with the "+" function).

    Hikvision G1 5.5+ firmware Exploring the Cam & attempting unlock

    I can send you DS-2CD3386FWDV2-IS and you can keep it as it is collecting dust for me now. All my others are bullets and this turret seemed a bit awkward to mount in my location so I won't be using it and it's a pain to sell something chinese-only. Just send me your shipping details via PM.

    G1 platform V5.6.1_Build190604 - 2019-07-17

    I went the other way - hacked the latest iVMS to accept chinese cameras. Have you tried e-mailing hikvision yourself? I am not sure if they'll send me an update unless I would probably write them in Chinese.

    How to: access Chinese devices from iVMS-4200

    Just found out how to access Chinese devices from iVMS-4200. It seems like Hikvision made a mistake while packaging iVMS-4200 Lite and enabled this functionality out of the box! Nevertheless, same applies to "full" iVMS-4200 version. Step 1: Open Setup.xml file, which is located in the...

    How SD card recordings work?

    I've just done my own calculations and it does seem to be doable. My local Hikvision distributor provides 5 year warranty for cameras, so I would prefer a memory card to last the same amount of time. For example 64GB WD Purple is rated for up to 64 TBW. Assuming a bitrate of 4 megabits/s, the...

    How SD card recordings work?

    Hi, it seems like a lot of Hikvision cameras support micro SD cards. My idea is to do continuous recording in NVR and to do motion recording to SD card. Is it possible? I would like to reduce wear on memory card by doing that.

    LED vs IR lighting

    It seems that some new cameras are providing visible spectrum LED lighting exclusively. Do you think it's a good option compared to IR for outdoor home surveillance? I am a bit worried that it might not be as affective as IR.

    Yikes! No 3.5" HDD slot. Options?

    Do you have 5.25" space available (for optical drives)? If so, you can get 5.25" to 3.5" adapter. I would still go for a SSD system drive.

    Review - IP Cam Talk 4 MP IR Fixed Turret Network Camera

    To me, Dahua looks way better (better image detail while having less pixels). Also, the colors are way oversaturated. Would love to see comparison at night.

    Dahua HS vs non-HS NVR differences

    I cam looking at Dahua's NVR4108-8P-4KS2 vs NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2. Seems like they have identical specifications but a bit different dimensions. Are there any practical differences between them?

    Difference between playback and preview channels?

    Hi, I have bought a NVR from china which supports 8 preview channels with 3MP/4MP cameras, but only supports 4 playback channels for 3MP cameras and 2 channels for 4MP cameras. What is the difference between preview and playback channel?
