Just ordered 3 2.8mm for $133 USD each from an authorized dealer!

Thanks for the info. I get them cheaper in California. Authentic from a distributor

Whatd you pay?

I'm not alleging anything. I'm explaining what happened to me. Received an Dahua NVR, which the sticker serial # didn't match the software embedded serial #. Dahua rep told me this would never occur from an authentic unit. Obviously something was off, and not simply an OEM vs brand issue as the...

4mm are out already, just in short supply. Last I check supplier only had 8 of them but 200 of the 2.8

One of my suppliers in US has 4mm, and the other has 2.8. Annoying dealing with 2 different vendors, but at least I know they are authentic and not gray market junk.

Hmm I couldn't load your attachments. What are your thoughts of it at night?

How was the cam during total darkness?

I'm ordering for $200 from an authorized Hik dealer. It's for the non microphone version (DS-2CD2087G2-L), but I dont want to deal with gray market. I'm eager to hear about the quality of the footage you're getting!

Sorry you got a headache to deal with. I might wait to order now ;-)

I'm glad you mentioned this in your post and I wanted to share my experience with gray market cams. This is NO WAY is meant to bash Andy, but only to warn others of my experience. A couple years ago I bought some Dahua 5831 turrets and an NVR from Andy. The NVR was having problems once I...

I agree. I wanted the turrets. My distributor has 200 bullets in shipment. They called Hik to get an ETA on the turrets, but they weren't able to give them one yet, but they confirmed they'll definitely be releasing one.

No problem at all, I'll check with them next week

My distributor confirmed a turret model is in the works. I didnt ask about a dome though.

I was referring to a comparison between DS-2CD2087G2-L(U) which has a built in microphone versus DS-2CD2087G2-L which does not have a microphone.

Yes definitely make sure to compare like models. Mine is the LU, and branded Hik from an authorized distributor.

I agree about that target price but my main distributor just quoted 225 for it. Its cheaper than my other distributor. I'll probably buy a few to test out.

Brand new Hikvision 3MP DS‑2DF8336IV‑AEL purchased from U.S. authprized dealer. This is not an international version, it is direct from authorized U.S. retail and is new "A" stock (not open box or refurbished). Price is $1299 and I will pay shipping inside continental U.S. payment through...

Hey all, I am planning a comp to setup BI with my cams. I have (6) 5831 cameras and plan on using 15fps. Any thoughts on this computer and its ability to successfully run my setup? My main concern is that I read it cant support more than 16gb ram? Also, it isn't an ssd Drive but a 7200rpm...

Thank you for the help! I purchased the NVR and 6 5831 cams from Andy with the plan being to obviously utilize the NVR. I plugged 1 cam into a prewired location at my front door and have attempted to setup the NVR since. I have had a ton of trouble in getting the NVR to send email...

I have not, with the cam being visible in the NVR I'm starting to think the issue is with the NVR? I tried to reset the NVR but couldn't find how to do that. I researched it and it looks like on V3 firmware it was easy but the same options dont appear on V4....?

Thanks for the response. I tried doing this and couldn't connect to the camera, or anything else. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, but Im out of ideas (and patience lol). All the settings in the NVR itself to change IP or subnet are all grayed out, so I cant for the life of me think...

Nope, I just tried. Its showing IP 10.1.1.65 in the NVR. Displays and records fine on NVR, but cant access through web browser, ConfigTool, and not showing in IP Scanner

Thanks for the info and welcome. I will definitely be reading up on this. I should have added, that under system settings in the NVR, it shows the 192.168.1.108 IP address and it is grayed out so I cant change it from there. That is why I was attempting to locate it on ConfigTool to change it...

Thanks all for the help, I feel like i am SLOWLY getting the hang of this. However, I now have a new problem. I definitely want a BI setup, but for now am going to use the 5216 NVR. The NVR has 1 camera hooked up to it (for now) and when viewing through the nvr all appears fine. However, I...

Any idea how to locate those IPs? Newbie here, plugged 2 5831 cams into a netgear poe switch. Ran an local ip scan and only located 1 of the cams and the switch. Then I tried to add the 1 cam IP into Ivideon and it wouldnt locate the cam... I temporarily gave up on computer setup and plugged...

Hey Mick, Sorry you joined the club with me. To be honest since I updated the firmware to version 4 I haven't bothered looking for the tripwire settings. I did try to setup the motion alarm again and even when using the entire screen in region settings it wont show the motion alerts on the...

Hi all, First let me say I appreciate any help you guys care to give me. I have read countless threads and wikis here but I must be extremely technologically challenged. I bought a Dahua NVR 5216-16P a while back with 6 IPC HDW 5831 cams, but never got around to installing them. Now I...

Hello, I am new here and new to security systems in general. I got a quote for a Montavue system and the cameras are the mtb8112-V which are 8 mp vari focal cameras. I thought the price was good @180 a piece but was concerned with the sensor size of 1/1.8" as it's different from most cameras j...
