    Hikvision 4MP Turrets and IR reflection affecting exposure

    I had wondered if there's a coating I could put on arches to absorb IR and not reflect it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision 4MP Turrets and IR reflection affecting exposure

    In the daytime the far end of the sidewalk is important. Guess we could add a camera down there. If camera is mounted much lower I worry about vandalism. Thanks as your suggestion at least made me think of adding a camera for coverage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision 4MP Turrets and IR reflection affecting exposure

    Hi, we've a couple of exterior mounted 4mp Hikvision Turrets that are generally good, but at night time I feel the IR reflection off the roof support arches impacts the image quality. See attached photo. I adjusted WDR and noise levels today and the arches don't look as white - washed out, as...

    Hikvision DS-2CD3345-I 4 mp Turrets questions

    Q2U, I believe you're correct! It's Hikvision's choice of marketing in the US that has cameras hard to buy and at much higher prices. Again, we're pleased with performance at price. Now, has anyone done a comparison between these two models and can tell me if there's a remarkably better picture...

    Hikvision DS-2CD3345-I 4 mp Turrets questions

    We picked up a few of these Hikvision DS-2CD3345-I 4 mp Turrets from Aliexpress, Julia's newer website and they perform very, very well. Price is very good. However, I see some differences in the physical layouts. One, these have a plastic base with two mounting screw posts, where the 4MP...

    Hikvision DS-7616N-E2/8P firmware question

    Hi all, have a Hikvision DS-7616N-E2/8P from Aliexpress that works great except that it's never sent photos out with alert notification emails. It has firmware v3.3.2 build 150522. I've heard that newer firmware fixes this photos sending issue. Can anyone confirm this? If so, where best is it to...

    Couple of quick questions about setting up Hik NVR-DS-7616N-E2-8P-16CH

    Wow - Thank you! I'll stop trying to figure out why this issue, not sending captures with notifications, wasn't working. I assume/hope it will be fixed in a future update? Any other list of non-working features in version 3.3.2? Thanks VERY much!

    Couple of quick questions about setting up Hik NVR-DS-7616N-E2-8P-16CH

    Some progress, I've got email notices being sent out using a gmail account, but it refuses to send any snapshot pictures. I'm at a lost to know why? Port forward setup so remote access is working fine. NVR password time-out refuses to comply with different time settings or never. A minor...

    Couple of quick questions about setting up Hik NVR-DS-7616N-E2-8P-16CH

    I don't see any settings for making one drive "redundant" and I am using the NVR interface HDMI. Update: I found where this setting is... life is good on this one issue!

    Couple of quick questions about setting up Hik NVR-DS-7616N-E2-8P-16CH

    One more thing... I have one hard drive in for now, is there setup for making a RAID, either mirror or stripping, in the Hik NVR? I didn't see anything in drive configuration that leads me to believe there is?

    Couple of quick questions about setting up Hik NVR-DS-7616N-E2-8P-16CH

    I set and applied an NVR password time-out to longer, and even tried never, but I still get prompted for password more than I'd like. Is this common? To access via iVMS 4500 remotely, I assume port forwarding is the key. I also see that the internal IP's of the POE jacks seem to have one IP...

    Hikvision Turret vs Bullet?

    Hi, in looking at the Hikvision 3 mp turrets and the 3 mp mini bullets, I'm trying to see if there's a clear consensus on which to use? It seems to me the turret is more compact, therefore less likely to be misaligned by sticks or say a snowball. That it uses the EXIR leds and may have better...

    CCTV CAMERA CHINA unlisted everything ... again?

    Checked again today - they are definitely still gone, MIA, off-line for what ever reason. Makes me rather nervous about buying from them. Any other recommendations for Aliexpress vendors? :rolleyes-new:

    DS-2CD2432F-IW Playback questions

    Thanks for the detailed feedback. "I find the camera play back can be slow if it's trying to record video at the same time as viewing video." - this is likely the case as it's recording all the time. Do you disable recording when you want to view Playback? If so, what's the easiest way to...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW Playback questions

    Hi all, I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW and put an Micro SD card in it recently. Two issues: 1. It records all the time and does mark movement triggers with red lines. Great! No matter how I try settings, I cannot get it to record ONLY detected Motion. It this possible? 2. The Playback is...

    Hikvision NVR and a number of Hikvision cameras - critique please

    This is interesting… as I try to figure out the differences in the Hikvision NVRs, it looks like most US units are a more expensive 7700 series and most units through AliExpress are a cheaper? 7600 series. Yet I don't find any comparison or listing of differences. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Hikvision NVR and a number of Hikvision cameras - critique please

    fenderman, thanks for the suggestion about the turrets cameras. Are these easier to mount than say a bullet? Not having mounted one I cannot see how they could be easier, but would love the feedback. Yes, I see they would be more difficult to misaim and move once in place. Other than the IR...

    Hikvision NVR and a number of Hikvision cameras - critique please

    For a small office building: So as I look at Hikvision's current product guide, it looks to me as if there's only two choices when it comes to Hikvision 16 channel NVRs. One, the DS-7716NI-SP/16 and the other the DS-9616NI-ST … in looking at the specs I don't see much difference mainly the 9600...

    Firmware, to update or not?

    Hi, I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW running firmware version 5.1.0, it works OK. I was thinking of updating to firmware version 5.2.0, but also wonder if version 5.1.6 would be better, or just leave it alone if it's working with 5.1.0? If it matters, it's likely a China camera as day of the...

    New Hikvision Bullets DS-2CD2T32

    You are so right. They appear to range around and over $400. I was hoping a motorized focal might be around $250. Oh well wishful thinking, for now. Glad to know now they are available should need and budget align. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Hikvision Bullets DS-2CD2T32

    Yes, thanks for bringing this new camera to our attention. It looks great, the improvements primarily being the IR range and an SD slot. I truly wish Hikvision would bring out some with user/computer adjustable variable focal and focus, or auto-focus with user/computer controlled variable focal...
