    Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ Smart Tracking question

    I have Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ camera. To avoid false alarms in the PTZ smart tracking, I’m using the camera Smart Event feature, intrusion detection. I drew the area to monitor and in the Linkage Method tab, I enabled Smart Tracking. The future works well. I want to enable recording...

    Real??

    You can buy a device that can detect hidden cameras and wireless listening/transmitting audio. They are okay, but not as good the high-end professional models.

    New Annke C800 turret with audio?

    Well... I bought the cameras to learn about the technology and have some fun seeing wildlife around the property. It was very inexpensive on black Friday, so I didn't feel bad if I had to trash it. I definitely like the addition of audio. Picture is very good in the day, and as you might...

    New Annke C800 turret with audio?

    I have not had any success finding the equivalent. It is for sure a Hikvision, based on the MAC address test.

    NVR of choice with POE for 16ch turrets and bullet cams??

    Agree with pretty much everyone's comments, and I would add few more... start slow, no need to go all out and buy all the cameras. Get Dahua or Hikvision cameras. Then match it with an NVR. At somepoint in the future you may decide to switch to BL.

    For that location, it is a Hikvision OEM camera. looking for 5" diameter base (actual camera base is 4.75"), I only need to extend 1-2". wittaj gave me a couple of good ideas to try and investigate. Thank you both. I'll report back on which method I end up with.

    Turret camera base extension

    I’m putting a turret camera under the roof eave. Initial testing and location look good. A very small portion of the gutter is reflecting IR light on to the lens at night. A 1-2” piece of wood would solve my problem, but would prefer to have a nicer finish. Is there a 5” round base available on...
