    Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV

    Here in the UK there is a lot of hype about the Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV on various groups and especially with installers. I am a Hik user so know nothing about Dahua but just interested to know your opinions on it. At some stage I would like to try Dahua. Heard a few people say this camera...

    Acusense DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL (Turret Camera) - Initial Impressions

    What’s the difference between that cam you have and the DS-2CD2386G2-IU which my supplier is selling? The cam I stated is coming up as a 50m IR.

    Footage jumping and missing several seconds on HikVision cams

    You could disconnect all cameras except one and see how it responds before switching another one on, one at a time till problems occur again. There is a chance maybe the Wi-fi power output link is too high and needs lowered. There is another switch at the Wi-fi link for the two Poe switches to...

    Footage jumping and missing several seconds on HikVision cams

    How are these switches connected back to the NVR? Is one switch connected to the other and then one cable back to the NVR LAN port?

    Footage jumping and missing several seconds on HikVision cams

    You are using two switches to feed the nanobeam. Just disconnect one switch and test. Switch it back on and disconnect the other switch and test. Is one camera more jumpy than the other. I had exactly the same issue and I have the K series NVR using 5 Switches. Problem was a badly terminated...

    Review-Loryta OEM 4MP IPC-T2347G-LU ColorVu Fixed Turret Network 4mm lens & Junction Box

    I installed the Hik colourVu cameras way back last year when they were first released. I recently noticed watching some playback of the cams during the night, the leds are switching on and off for several seconds At random times. Just wondering if this is a fault with the leds that is starting...

    Cable tester or qualifier for IP cams?

    Are the cameras connected directly to the Poe switch and not through a patch panel first? What switch is being used? Have you cut the existing connectors off and crimped new plug connectors on?

    Poe Cat 6 wire

    Do not use stranded. Solid only. Cat5e is much easier to work with than cat6.

    Hikvision turret junction box options

    The DS-1280ZJ-M is for the 2385 etc The 2383G0 is a Chinese model? The DS-2CD2385G1-I is the model we use here in Europe and uses the junction box DS-1280ZJ-DM21 However these boxes are bigger than the camera which I never liked so the DM8 could be a flush fit but I might have to get one and test.

    No. If I am right, the bullet version has some feature that offers something along those lines, alarm etc

    New ColorVu cameras

    Have you adjusted the led while standing in front of the cam and start at the lowest setting and work your way up to see if a lower setting might work better? I rigged up one of my LU’s last night. Can’t upload photos for interest due to privacy issues but will tonight make changes and forward...

    New ColorVu cameras

    The second video with no lights looks very good in terms of visibility. You think it was evening time before the sun goes down. What setting are you using. Post them if you can. Some guru here might recommend changes. Also, any indication the led’s in auto actually adjust or are they stuck at...

    New ColorVu cameras

    Picked up a few of the LU models but can’t get a minute to rig them up outside. Powered one up in my huge garage and it looked fantastic.

    Looking for feedback : Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU (Colorvu) or Hikvision Darkfighter DS-2CD2345FWD-I

    I’ve installed loads of Hik cameras over the years but like you say, the reviews of the DS-2CD2347G1-LU are basically non existing. It appears more people on this forum are opting for Dahua and I gather this maybe the reason why new Hik cams are getting less attention and less reviews on here...

    Easy IP 4.0 Release - UK?

    They put the price up. Lovely A few people have purchased the DS-2CD2385G1-I but immediately first thing they notice is the huge size of the cam. Big brute they say.

    This will happen now and again. I have a ptz that does it every few months. Pain in the backside. Simple way to fix is to power down the camera for a minute and switch on again. Make sure the firmware is up to date also. Had a client with a 2342 and the same issue and a firmware update appears...

    NVR losing Hik-Connect connection.

    Just an update. I updated firmware last night. Logged in last night and this morning twice and it was working. An hour later I checked again and Hik-Connect is now showing the NVR is offline. It seems that once you log in a few times, it goes Offline. I changed the server address and made no...

    NVR losing Hik-Connect connection.

    NVR is DS-7608NI-K2/8P UPnP is On. Firmware hasn’t been updated yet to the new release in April. I will try a different server. I must check a few other installs to see what server they are on as I haven’t heard of any complaints yet. Not sure why it worked great for months since the install...

    Hikvision camera selection 5mp or 8mp?

    If I am not mistaken and hopefully someone can confirm, Dahua have cams stated as Starlight and shouldn’t be either like Hikvision. Both can be as bad as each other.

    POE+ Injectors

    If I am not mistaken, a Hikvision injector costs a fortune and you could get 3 Tenda injectors for one Hikvision when I priced it. Could be mistaken though.

    POE+ Injectors

    The Tenda is the actual injector I had spotted during my research. Price wise it couldn’t be beat as others I found were the price of a Poe+ router. Glad to hear you are using them without problems.

    New HIKVision NVR Setup

    Ditch the 2342 cams. Old model of cams. The 2345 are the new models for 4MP and they are classed as Darkfighter but some could argue if Darkfighter should be used with these cams. Far better in low light but the 2335 3MP are better in low light. The 8MP cams aren’t the best in low light and I...
