    DS-2CD2335FWD-I or IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    Video looks the same in Chinese! Google translate can fix the menu...besides even if it is in Chinese isn't there a drop down menu for language selection.

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I or IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    Any good sellers on Aliexpress carry it? I just read an article that said if you want to cover a wide open area the more megapixels the better. Do you think that is the case? Thanks for the reply.

    How to hide power wire?

    All my other cameras are POE it's just the two in the house that are wifi and used to keep watch of pets. I just hate the cord hanging there. Not much i can do without drilling holes i guess. Are the power jacks on the back of hikvision cameras the standard dc jack? I think it's 2.5mm.

I looked in SADP and the camera shows up on the list it turns out that it was reset to factory defaults somehow. The model i have does not have a reset button on the pigtail or any that i can see.
