    8mp turbohd (not colorvu)

    I tried setting one of these up, no matter which mode I tried they were all bad in some way. The TVI seems the best, however 2 problems 1) image freezes in full screen, no matter whatcsetting I try. 2) 15 frames per second really sucks. Motion blur us terrible. I'm going back to just the. 2mp...

    Fyi on iDS-7208HTHI-M2/S Dvr and 5mp input from the colorvu DS-2CE12HFT-F Camera to 4k tv

    I had questions on how this would display, no one could give me an answer, not here, not B&H tech support, not hik-vision tech support. So I just bought them, recieved yesterday. First I am really impressed by the colorvu at pitch black ( I must have enough light out there, but it sure looks...

    5mp camera input to 4k tv

    The iDS-7208HTHI-M2/S Dvr will accept a 5mp input from the colorvu DS-2CE12HFT-F Camera. However the camera outputs 2560 x 1944. But the dvr states it's hdmi output is: HDMI output 1-ch, 4K (3840 × 2160)/30Hz, 2K (2560 × 1440)/60Hz, 1920 × 1080/60Hz, 1280 × 1024/60Hz, 1280 × 720/60Hz . So how...

    Sensor size revisited

    There has been multiple discussions on sensor size, and the bottom line seems to be bigger is better. So a big sensor with big mp is best (if you don't have verifocal / zoom lenses) . I have ried to do research into this and if I stick with analog cameras, I find nothing bigger than 1/2.7 ...

    Dahua , hikvision .. etc

    May be a dumb question and probably asked before but, if these cameras have been banned, how are they still for sale ? I'd hate to buy a system and then a year from now not be able to use it. B&H , Amazon sell them...

    Hik-connect

    I am still considering the hikvision cameras... I ordered one 2mp, just to hook to my current system. I checked to see about eventual remote connection using hik-connect. But it doesn't exist in play store for the US. Is there a direct download for this ? And any troubles whether it's dvr...

    Nvr / dvr encoding frame rate

    How can the frame rate for encoding incoming video be less than the incomming and output frame rates. I see 8mp at 8fps where the output is 8mp at 15fps. Just doesn't make sense to me. I don't see how these recorders keep up with a live stream. Or am I missing something here ?

    Sensor sizes

    There is a lot of information concerning sensor size and focal length. However, I've run into another question. The ip cameras have the sensor size listed in thier data sheets, but out of curiosity and maybe keeping my existing coax, I checked the turbohd hikvison cameras. Colorvu and standard...

    Hikvison colorvu camera

    My wife saw some youtube videos about the colorvu cameras by hikvision. She is pretty insistent that is what we should get. Are these the goto cameras ? My current system is not bad for 1080p during the day, but pretty grainy at night. I was thinking the 5mp with 2.8 lens. But that makes me...
