    Want to see comparison pictures of my $47 Ebay 15 LED IR illuminator?

    Why do people still bother with this junk ? Might be cheap but it wont last and when it fails late at night that`s when the bad guys will visit ! The power ratings are usually bogus so are the beam-widths and optical frequencies. And that's not even going into the poor driver design and lack...

    Why does one camera show heavy snow fall and others not showing any snow?

    That`s a fail everyone.....:cool: It`s got nothing to do with the lens or IR really . Most IR cams a night drop their shutter speed right down to 1/25 or so this gives the long streaking effect on dust rain bugs show etc. The faster your lens is like a F1.1 running 1/1000 at night rain is...

    Looking for better camera setup

    I find that most cams with a PIR`s fail with false alarms from wind temp shifts etc, Even good quality dual and quad sensors with pulse count have this problem. You can get away with them in a 24x7 Aircon place with no sunlight or wind. You need a good day-night cam or DVR with an input and then...

    noisy day time image

    Sounds like the shutter is up too high, or WDR is on with the slider up 90% ?

    Network cable tester opinions

    Any of the cheapo testers will be ok for basic wire checks, but if you have a real problem then you will need a TDR or NEXT modes to see what the problem is and even then sometimes I have to get the CRO out to see visually interference etc. [cables run long and too close to power and motors] I...

    Is it worth buying grey market or Chinese version of Hikvision cameras?

    I had a problem with a new DVR changed the password on first boot up, then it would not accept it ! Wasted a huge amount of time because of it. The secret is create another super user once you have logged in this way if it plays games you have access. [Make sure you tick all the access options tho]

    Is it worth buying grey market or Chinese version of Hikvision cameras?

    CCTV companies here charge about three times the price of grey gear to integrator`s its a total rip off. Their lack of experience in the products and networking and let alone IR systems its sad. I Even asked HIKvisions tosser of a rep "Can I be the third distributor" got a big fat NO on that...

    PTZ lag

    Make sure your network is not saturated as well, I run GB everywhere and have no problems [except for our Telco`s lies about 3G and 4G performance]

    Do we really need 4MP? Dahua resolutions comparison.

    Day time images.... any 3-4Mp camera is going to do a pretty good job, Its low light that kills em. Thats where the good are sorted from the bad !

    HIKvision POE network ports how much bandwith can you sqeeze from one port?

    this worked OK I have 4 cams on on POE port. I did notice this new 32ch DVR`s password security policy wont let any cams run if they don't have a strong password. Yet they wont let you change the "admin" login FAIL !

    HIKvision POE network ports how much bandwith can you sqeeze from one port?

    Yes it worked I had the POE ports 13 [IP 192.0.0.14] and POE14 [IP.15] connected to some bullets, Then unplugged POE ports 13,14 connected the cams to the 4 port POE switch then used POE port 16 as an uplink to the POE 4port switch. It then left the POE port 13 cam where it is and put...

    HIKvision POE network ports how much bandwith can you sqeeze from one port?

    "IP wise" as in its probably a POE network switch so you could have 255 IP`s on one port, not that you would do that. I have used a switch inline before with one of these ports and I can access the whole sub-network [all the cameras and DVR] I do this to tweak the camera settings at night.

    HIKvision DS-7732N-E4/16P admin password "now not working"

    Update, HIKusa got back to me with a bunch of codes for the next week Kudos to them I thought that was the last I would hear from them. They gave me a warning about grey imports maybe the "protected" local dealers need to stop charging four times the price for this DVR ! I can now login !

    Package thief

    Good first effort, you need a camera over-viewing the whole out-front [2.8mm lens] move the current camera down about a meter to catch the faces. Note a cam behind a window wont work real well the IR will reflect back. You could put a pin-hole there but they are only 1mp [lets crank it up HIK !]...

    Caught in the act!! Huisun mini ptz 10x zoom

    Its a bit blurry, typical of default settings and lack of IR where the shutter is going down to 1/25 this is false economy a trap for all . You need more IR and crank the shutter to at least 1/100 or more. Also you need one overview camera and other fixed lens like 16mm targeting just the shed...
