    Anyone know of a way to attach a pc140 pendant cap with G1 male threads to a RPM roof parapet mount with G1-1/2 female threads? I can’t find an appropriate reducer online. https://us.hikvision.com/en/products/accessories/brackets/ptz-brackets/roof-parapet-mount-rpm...

    Image parameters switch missing

    I ended up getting the ds-2cd2345g0p-i and am satisfied with it except for 1 thing. The image parameters switch section is missing in web gui. The manual does give instructions for it, though. I downloaded the most recent firmware 5.6.820_220519. It is a G1 do not sure if that would be...

    DS-2CD2345G0P-I from Real HD Store on Amazon

    Anyone know if it is safe to buy DS-2CD2345G0P-I from Real HD Store on Amazon. Need wide angle and want to stick with Hikvision, but seem to remember hearing about Amazon 3rd party sellers providing cameras with problematic firmwares. Thanks! Eric

    WMP-S for PCI-T18F2S

    My pci-t18f2s lists the PC140+WML as a compatable wall mount. Does anyone now if this WMP-S wall mount with the PC140 cap would work? I don't need the long arm or the junction box. Thanks, Eric...

    My lower megapixel cameras are sharper

    I have a 3mp, a 4mp, and two 2 8mp cameras that I view with blue iris. The 8mp are far less sharp. I held a printout of an image resolution/sharpness test at arms length from each camera then double clicked on the feed in blue iris, waited a second for it to get clear, clicked pause, and took...

    Push alerts not working in 5.7.6.8

    I need to start getting push alerts, but they are not working. I think I have everything setup correctly. If you would be willing to take a look I would greatly appreciate it! The BI log does NOT show a push being sent.

    I am considering a colorvue camera and would like to know what they look like to the subject. Are they blinding? I can't seem to find videos or images on the web. Here is an example from ipvm of where I would like to place one. It would be 16 feet off the ground.

    Just want to confirm, since I can't find anything... Is there a Hikvision 8mp camera with 1/1.2 or 1/1.0 sensor size AND IR? I don't want to use visible white light. Thanks, Eric

    5842 vs hikvision pci-t18f2s

    I have a couple hikvision pci-t18f2s and don't see much about them as far as reviews on ipcamtalk or google. They are 1/1.8" 8mp cams. The 5842 get really good reviews here and at night seem to be competitive with the 5442, despite getting less light per pixel. I'm not super happy with...

    8mp vs 3mp image comparison

    hello, I have an 8mp 1/1.8" sensor PCI-T18F2S on the top and 3mp 1/3" sensor DS-2CD2132F-IS on the bottom. Both cameras are 2.8mm and the cereal box is at 15 feet in both cases. I would expect a much better image from the 8mp. What do you think? I'm sure you would like to have a lot more...

    Hardware Acceleration increases cpu usage, temp, and noise

    If I turn on Intel, Intel+VPP, or Intel Beta my cpu (I7-11700 non K) usage goes up by about 10-15%, Intel gpu goes from 0 up to 25%, and temp goes from 45 up to 58 degrees C. I don't worry about the cpu usage, since I'm only up to 20 or 30, or those temps, but the sound of the fan bothers me...

    Hikvision cameras constantly disconnecting

    Yesterday I swapped a couple 2132 hikvisions for brand new PCI-T18F2S units. They work well, except that they disconnect from the network at least every hour. Sometimes they reconnect on their own, but sometimes I need to unplug and replug to get connected. I am using the same cat5e cables...

    Safe to update firmware from 5.5.1 to 5.7.1?

    I've read that you cannot skip versions when updating firmware. Would like to update my new cameras with slightly different builds from 5.5.1 to 5.7.1. Is it safe to do this, since the hikvision doesn't list any intermediate versions? Thanks, Eric

    Waterproof cat5 entry into junction box

    I bought a few hikvision CB140PT junction boxes to install my turrets. The boxes have a nut on the side that seems like it is supposed to be waterproof when tightening down, but the rubber grommet is still too big for the cat5 cable. Is there a better junction box to use in this application...

    is surveillance-video.com reputable?

    Would like to replace my 7 year old hikvisions and am having trouble finding dealers with a good variety of domes. Has anyone had any experience with surveillance-video.com? Any reason not to use them? They are nearby to me in Vermont as far as shipping goes. Thanks! Eric

    New vs. Stored Clips setup

    I've had my system setup for a few years and went back to clips and archives options after upgrading to windows 10 to make sure they were optimal. Looks like they are not. I have a 4tb Purple drive and a 256gb SSD. I had the db located on the purple so have changed that to the ssd. I have...

    Blue Iris is preventing windows from shutting down

    I have Blue Iris 4.2.9.3 running on windows 7 x64 with 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-I cameras. It has been running for 1 year and when I shut down windows I always get the message "Blue Iris is Preventing Windows from Shutting Down." It gives me the option to force restart, but I rarely do that as I...
