    In search of outdoor camera for private club with the following requirements. Please help!

    You could install Eufycam, battery powered, phone app, wifi, has audio but you can find tear-downs of the device online, the micro is just a plug that you can disconnect inside.

    In search of outdoor camera for private club with the following requirements. Please help!

    I don't know if it's an option but can't you just disassemble one of those camera's and just physically disconnect the micro internally?

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    That's clearly a Google Maps screenshot of Parley's location where the 6mm camera is installed ;)

    Thanks, how far away is the camera from that tree/wall in the last picture?

    HIKVISION AcuSense DS-2CD2386G2-I - Two version of the sensor?

    Yes the large sensor puts the focus point further away, I'm struggling with the same issue. I have 4mm version of the new ColorVu Gen2 8MP and it's fine but for some situations I would like the 6mm, for example drive way where the image does not need to go very wide but the 13m DOF scares me...

    HIKVISION AcuSense DS-2CD2386G2-I - Two version of the sensor?

    Could be, never heard of it, but if you want to be sure, ask your reseller if he has the 1/1.8" version.

    HIKVISION AcuSense DS-2CD2386G2-I - Two version of the sensor?

    I think you are mixing some names and specs.. "G2" at the end of the product name means it's second generation, otherwise you will see "G1" at the end of the product name. 2386G2 is a turret camera while 2086g2 is a mini bullet camera. PS: 2386G2 also has a 1/1.8" sensor, don't know where you...

    Cloud solution help?

    Indeed, Azure blob storage does not support SMB or NFS protocol so you cannot mount it as a drive mapping for example, you need tools to connect to azure blob storage and I've not seen features for the NVR to connect directly to Azure blob storage. You could install a NAS next to the NVR and...

    Cloud solution help?

    Cloud storage is cheap, take for example Azure blob storage, in the 'cool' pricing tier, 200TB will cost you 1688€ per month, for us that's a lot of money but for a big company like this? Or you can choose archive storage on Azure, 200TB will cost you 304€ per month. Downside is that you pay...

    Hikvision new camera error

    Yeah sure, just login via web browser into the camera -> configuration -> Video/Audio and post what you see there. Try to set "Video Encoding" to H.264 or H.264+.

    Hikvision new camera error

    What is the configured stream type in the camera? Your NVR only does H.264 & H.264+ and not H.265 I think so if the camera's stream type is set to H.265, you could run into problems.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Has anyone tried the 6mm version? My distributor doesn't list them since they need to buy minimum amount from Hikvision and don't expect to sell the 6mm often.. The big sensor in the 8MP version has an impact on DOF: DS-2CD2087G2 (8MP) 2.8mm : 4.5m to ... 4mm : 7m to ... 6mm : 13m to ...

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    There is a new firmware from Hikvision itself where the 'white light trigger on detections' option is added so no need for custom firmwares, V5.5.160 -> DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL

    Newbie question - Is it sensible to use an NVR for recording images from remote IP Cameras or should I use an alternative method?

    That will be your problem, if the broadband speed is not sufficient for a simple playback, then capturing video to an offsite device will have the same problem. What speed do the different internet lines have? Do you have the option to create VPN tunnels between your site and the other sites...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    They just added an extra feature which allows you to control the LED lights with motion detection but the feature is not default on so you don’t have to use it if you don’t want it, the new firmware doesn’t force you to use it so I don’t see any problem. For me it’s working perfect, when the...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Ok that's handy information. I tried it with normal motion detection and works perfect! Standard I've set the LED lights to OFF, only when someone passes by -> BOEM full LED in their face, scares them off + makes them look in the camera and the camera has enough light to get a good picture, win...

    Need opinions for Pit Lane camera for remote viewing.

    If you want to be sure that there is enough light, get the Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-L(U). 4mm should also work but think 2.8mm will be best since the blind spot the first meters will be less.

New G3 firmware has been released (5.5.160) -> DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL (hikvisioneurope.com) No release notes, I just upgraded one of my G2 ColorVu's and yes, control of white light through motion detection is added!

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hmm I'm not sure about that, was thinking the same thing, will the 4MP version of this G2 ColorVu produce even brighter picture then this 4k 8MP one? When the sensor size is the same, yes, but I just had a look at the specs on their website: DS-2CD2087G2-L(U) 4 K ColorVu Fixed Bullet...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I ordered 4x 4mm (in stock) and 2x 6mm in backorder, looks like the 6mm is not available :confused: PS: I ordered the 'big brother' 2t87 as it needs to cover a big area so more powerful LED's come in handy. I'm happy with my 2x 2t87 4mm but still waiting on a firmware update that will let you...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    There is some street lighting but not that much, did not activate the LED's because I'm waiting for a firmware upgrade where the LED's can be controlled with motion detection, that way I don't need to have them on the whole night. I will try to slow it down to 1/50 or 1/25 just to see if the...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I installed 2x 2t87g2 so same as the 2087g2 but the led's are more powerful and camera is larger. Got them from my Hikivision distributor in Belgium. Will try to upload images of the ghosting. I think it's the struggle to find a good match between the amount of blur (at night) that's acceptable...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I've set my exposure time to 1/100 but now at night when someone passes by the image is 'ghosted', you can see through them :) I haven't had time to play with the other settings, some say it has to do with the digital noise reduction, default it's on 50 but when I lower it, I get noise :D And...

    Whats the difference between DS-2CD2T87G2-L vs DS-2CD2087G2-LU

    Difference between the 2CD2T87G2 & 2CD2087G2 is the size and LED strength. The LED's in the 2T87 are more powerful then the one's in the 2087 and thus need more space.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I installed 2x 2CD2T87G2 4mm this week, difference between the 2CD2087G2 is the size and LED strength. The LED's in the 2T87 are more powerful then the one's in the 2087 and thus need more space. Very happy with them, picture quality during the day very good obviously but I was blown away by...
