    Alot of Noise on Hik ds-2332 turrets - pics attached

    The 2332 is known to get pretty noisy at night. Only solution is to add more light. For example, here's a comparison of the 2332 to longse s500 . https://shopdelta.eu/obrazki1/ds-2cd2332-i_img11_d.jpg https://shopdelta.eu/obrazki1/apti-50v4-5w_img11_d.jpg

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Doubt it, Longse is probably the biggest not well known camera manufacturer. Nearly every generic looking cctv camera you see is from Longse (or cantonk) Some company... I think.

    2mp 1080p Low lux Hisilicon POE camera

    It is out of focus, he stated this on first review of the camera. Very common with cheap Chinese ip cameras, same with the Huisin PTZ. Must be using cheaper lenses

    ds-2de7186 30x PTZ? Anyone own or know this?

    Does the seller seem reliable? The price is suspiciously low tbh unless its sold as used or a chinese version. In Europe the trade price for this camera ex vat equates to $750

    ds-2de7186 30x PTZ? Anyone own or know this?

    If the price is good or not depends where you're getting it from, which region. Locally or from China, Chinese or international version? Funnily enough I got a quote from a Chinese reseller for a de-2de7184 yesterday which I'm assuming is a very simiar model. Price is $372 excluding shipping...

    New Chinese Hikvision cams. 5mp, Turret with microphone and SD, indoor ptz

    Dongjia ov5658 is not 16:9, it's 4:3. Just take a look at the sensor spec sheet http://www.ovt.com/download_document.php?type=sensor&sensorid=148

    New Chinese Hikvision cams. 5mp, Turret with microphone and SD, indoor ptz

    That sensor is 1/2.5", not 1/3" of the Hikvision? The fps means nothing, the OV 5mp is capable of up to 30fps but of course it could be restricted for many reasons.

    New Chinese Hikvision cams. 5mp, Turret with microphone and SD, indoor ptz

    Honestly, you have no reason to believe this is an old 5mp camera, don't get it. I never expressed interest in buying this camera nor stated with fact that it is a certain sensor. You came right out speaking like you know for certain it is an old 5mp sensor, so you buy it :) Hikvision have 2...

    New Chinese Hikvision cams. 5mp, Turret with microphone and SD, indoor ptz

    There's no way Hikvision would release an 'old' 5mp. Those sensors are probably not even manufactured anymore. Someone posted proof on this forum that their 4mp Chinese 3345 camera was using OV4689 so that makes it more likely to be the 5mp OV sensor than some mysterious unnamed 5mp that you...

    New Chinese Hikvision cams. 5mp, Turret with microphone and SD, indoor ptz

    What do you mean by old style? I highly doubt its the same sensor used in your camera, there's many different 5mp sensors, this is likely a recent one, just not the imx178. Possibly the OV5658 since they're using the OV4689 in their recent 4mp's. Another camera with this sensor...

    Best WDR low light backlight camera

    I've bought cameras from taobao before and it's simple. Alot of the sellers there speak English and actually have aliexpress stores, but it always works out cheaper on taobao because of lower fees and it's more competitive. The only consideration is shipping cost. I use a shipping forwarder who...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Is she walking fast/jogging/running? Luckily people up to no good tend to move very slowly. I also noticed in your video posted a while back that the motion blur seems to decrease as the person got further away from the cam.

    Best outdoor cam for low light.

    What I really hate about that LTS video is that the so called 'night vision' on the turret cam is taken in very well lit environments and they actually went as far as to edit the shadows out. I have several EXIR hikvisions (ranging from 20m - 80m IR and 1 regular IR and honestly I see little to...

    Diference between DS-2cd3145 and DS-2cd2145

    They are different, d-wdr is not the same. I've seen people before commenting on the lack of wdr in the 3xxx series.

    Diference between DS-2cd3145 and DS-2cd2145

    IP rating has nothing to do with the base material, the camera itself must just be better sealed. IP67 means it can be fully submersed in water. http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/prgs_1019_i8916.html http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/prgs_964_i8166.html

    Diference between DS-2cd3145 and DS-2cd2145

    There is actually more differences. 2145 supports WDR, 3145 has D-WDR. 2145 is ip67 rated, 3145 ip66.

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Does the image get cropped when you record at 1080p? Here is 2 videos of the imx178 at different resolutions and you can see the image is cropped. Or is it different when changing the nvr recording resolution as opposed to the camera resolution? If that make sense.

    2mp 1080p Low lux Hisilicon POE camera

    The lack of definition on the sides at night is something I see alot when you're trying to cover a wide open area with not much light. IR leds tend to create a tunnel of light rather than spread out. Blurry left side looks an awful lot like the huisin ptz. Probably caused by the lens.

    For the image over processing issue..instead of reloading the firmware did you try removing power from the camera? I have a similar issue with a hikvision turbo hd, whenever I access the osd menu to change settings, the image goes all strange. Factory reset doesn't fix it, have to pull the power...

    Well, it would depend on a persons needs. The huisin ptz has its advantages but also some disadvantages. 2mp vs 5mp Bulkier design More expensive I'd still say this is the best dome you can get if you just want a compact soffit cam which will provide usable night images. Could the image...
