    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...

    POE+ Injectors

    Any of you guys recommend a Poe+ injector for Hik Ptz cams like the DS-2DE4225IW-DE? Several clients want a ptz added to their setup and using an injector would be easier and hopefully cheaper than a new switch. I’ve seen a few but they were more expensive than a switch.

    DS-2CD2345WD-I

    Has anyone had an experience with these 4MP low light cams? Need to install a few cams for a guy down the road and I usually stick to the 2335’s but they seem to be ditched by Hikvision due to their issues as a few suppliers of mine can’t get them anymore. Had to send numerous 2335’s back due...

    PTZ for Cattle Barns

    Been asked to install several PTZ cams in multiple farm barns to monitor livestock. I’ve been looking at what’s on offer from Hikvision but unless you want to spend big bucks, there appears to be little of choice on the budget side of things. The DS-2DE4225IW-DE, DS-2DE4425IW-DE and...

    Major DS-2CD2335FWD-I Moisture Issue

    Yesterday I began to install a 6-cam setup for a neighbour using the DS-2CD2335FWD-I cams. Installed two that night and looking at the cams remotely last night, the image was terrible.

    New cam releases

    Just wondering where is the best place to find out if there any new Hikvision cams coming out? Got a few jobs coming up. These 5mp/8mp turrets seem to be the last cams to come out but not sure if they are worth putting in and should stick to the 3MP low level light turrets (2335)? Any new low...

    2CD2T42WD-I5 and 2CD2T42WD-I8

    I am used to turrets these days but wondering has anyone got any reviews on either the 2CD2T42WD-I5 or the 2CD2T42WD-I8? A guy wants me to install a few cams and the reason I am looking at these two over turrets, is the location outside of a building with the sun beaming at them and thought...

    Hikvision Playback and Motion Blur

    I installed a temporary DS-2CD2342WD-I quickly to an 8ch Hikvision NVR to catch a suspicious vehicle driving up and down a lane for a friend. On playback, I was surprised to find that I couldn't read the cars registration plate and it was difficult to identify the exact model of the car. It...

    H.264+

    I have noticed some of these new 4mp cameras are H.264+ and I noticed at the same time, there is now an updated version of my NVR (DS-7608) which is now the DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A 6MP 80Mbps H.264+. I should be able to select on my NVR, H.264 for these cameras so the '+' shouldn't be a problem? Is...
