    DS-7208HGHI-SH + DS-2CD2342WD-I issues

    Log into IP camera and disable the lock. It is already locked from before you changed the password so you must wait 30min or disable the lock. I ran into the same problem adding an IP camera to the turbo hd dvr.

    CCCH Hikvisions

    There must be something wrong if you feel there's only a small difference between 640x480 and 2048x1536.. some picture comparisons would help to understand. My guess is the Hikvisions have a much wider FOV. There can be 2 benefits from high resolution, higher pixel density for better image...

    That Amcrest picture looks pretty good but it's a shame for it's price that there's no optical zoom.

    Please help,DS-2cd2035-i <Chinese to English >

    There's multi language cameras on taobao too. This cost me $53 there OP's best bet is to message a seller on aliexpress pretending to have bought a camera from them on a different account and ask for the firmware.

    missing video DS-2CD2542FWD-IS and DS-2CD2342WD-I

    Pretty close to sunset time so the shutter speed probably decreased automatically to keep the image bright.

    I'd say 4mm is the more popular choice as it gives a good balance. With a wider field of view, more distant objects will have less detail. It can be difficult choosing the right lens, if the camera is to be put in a small room or located near the place you're trying to watch, then definitely go...

    This is a very popular one recently for being affordable and compact whilst having decent zoom. http://www.netviewcctv.co.uk/2mp-mini-bullet-ptz-ip-camera-10x-80m-ir-ip66.html

    Indeed, but you won't find that type of camera which could be used outdoors with decent night vision/zoom etc. They are mainly designed just for close quarters.

    First Time IP Camera User

    First you got to decide how much work you're willing to put in. Without dedicated wiring/storage, camera options are limited. Basically there's 2 'kinds' of IP cameras on the market Those designed for people who don't want to spend time setting up a proper system. These usually come with many...

    4Mp ip camera HI3516D + OV4689

    Hi3516a is actually better than Hi3516d but that doesn't explain lack of h265 and wrong lens... Image quality is what's to be expected I think. It is using a lower quality lens which results in noticeable blurring at sides. The sample pic is taken in difficult lighting, I think it will look...

    Need "good" D1 camera

    Try find one of these, but it's probably expensive. http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_123_i5106.html PICADIS is supposedly some recent revolution in analog cctv, and this is the PICADIS 2. Imagine how awesome it must be.

    EXIR Turret Camera's 2335 v 3335?

    I don't see what I missed? But let's assume Xinray did say that. Here's why. Hikvision weren't happy with so many people buying multilanguage firmware chinese cams from aliexpress. So they contacted aliexpress and said they don't allow the sale of modified Hikvision products. There was a purge...

    If you say so, I doubt you even spoke to Xinray. Think about it, why would they say 'we sell no name knock offs' when the only thing they sell is Hikvision cameras? Go troll somewhere else :)

    It's not US dollars. The original article is Chinese and translates literally as 370 hundred thousand. Might surprise you, but China has its own currency and generally they won't be talking about US dollars.

    Actually that is a fact. Tmall is a sister company of taobao, with higher fees and is usually where hikvision authorized sellers will sell. They show pictures of the brown box cameras, and there is literally a 0% chance of buying fakes on tmall. Taobao sellers often aren't authorized (you have...

    I found that too and no you won't find more. PS, by counterfeit, they surely mean shoddy fakes selling for ridiculously low prices because taobao is still full of genuine Hikvision cameras. However I wouldn't be surprised if its a fake story put out by Hikvision. Do you seriously believe its a...

    This seems to be a common question with Chinese buyers worrying about fake Hikvision. The answer generally is, there is no fake Hikvisions. They are already affordable, so it is not appealing to counterfeiters. 海康威视的监控摄像头目前还没有假的,也就是我们说的高仿的,目前只有国外的三星、索尼、松下、霍尼韦尔、博世的有高仿的摄像头 "Hikvision...

    The same but poorer quality? There's many people who have been running their 'fake' cameras for a long long time without any issues. So to me it seems more like same components, same quality. At the very worst, they're straight off the Hikvision production line but into unauthorized distribution...

    Fakes will have different internals. A fake apple watch or iphone might look the same from the outside, but inside it will have completely different processors, operating system etc. Now when someone flashes new firmware on a 'fake' hikvision, the camera still works but just reverts to...

    EXIR Turret Camera's 2335 v 3335?

    The cameras aren't fakes. For one, the prices on aliexpress aren't even suspiciously cheap compared to what they sell for on Chinese sites where they're still proudly branded as 100% original hikvision. Secondly, they have the entire hikvision ranges, fakes will only be made in items which are...
