Currently have two DS-2CD2043G0-I (4MP) cameras for narrow alleys on both sides of the house. The problem is that wind blowing leaves and stray cats etc trigger the smart event on them all the time (false alarms). The latest version of these cameras (DS-2CD2046G2-IU) have AcuSense feature...

Hi All, New to the forum but have been lurking for a while research my IP camera setup! Have never had a camera setup but want one installed on our newly renovated home. I live in a rural location with no lighting near by so ColorVu wont work for me as I don't want the white light on all night...

I'm looking at YouTube sources primarily but, the sources I have watched are confusing as much as anything. How do the different Dark Fighter releases compare to each other? How does ColorVU fit into the nighttime use role? How do the price points change when going from ColorVU to the Dark...

Sorry, 2nd post in the same day. So couple guys here were super helpful in helping me figure out optimal sensor size. big thank you to wittaj and sebastiantombs. 720P - 1/3" = .333" 2MP - 1/2.8" = .357" (think a .38 caliber bullet) 4MP - 1/1.8" = .555" (bigger than a .50 caliber bullet or...

I have a rental home next door that I need to keep an eye on as it's a magnet for vandals when not occupied. The furthest distance I need to clearly see a face at night is about 120ft. There is a single light source that marginally illuminates about the first 60ft of that. The HFOV I need is...

Good Morning! I have been reading a lot on these forums. I have determined I don't want to self-install, and therefore my options are limited. So far - the security camera companies near me really only deal with Hikvision/LTS and don't really mess with dahua, unfortunately. I have narrowed...

Had a search on here, and on google, but very little opinion...just wondered if anyone has one and would be able to give any thoughts, in comparison to ‘old’ Darkfighters or the cheaper Hikvisions, or other PTZ cameras? Ie. Especially good in low light like they claim? Is daytime quality any...

Is there a huge difference between sensor image quality between 1, 2 and 2plus lines? I went to the local Hikvision shop/distributor and asked for a 3MP Dome camera for indoor use (no need for night vision). The cheapest one was 1-line, he said for the same price I can have 1.3MP 2-line, and...

Hi I recently updated my NVR and PTZ (darkfighter) camera to the latest firmware. NVR firmware was installed successfully. However the PTZ upgrade failed, it had done before but I managed to recover using TFTP. On this occasion I have tried restoring firmware using TFTP but it is showing to be...

Hello everyone, I did a diagram showing all the sensors used in Eco Savvy 3.0 and Ultra series from Dahua. The diagram shows sensor size in relation to other sensors as well as camera models, using certain sensor. No PTZ models included and no box cameras – apart from IPC-HF8835F, which is the...

Does anyone know how to switch off IR on these camera’s: ds-2cd2035fwd-i ds-2cd2135fwd-is I especially bought "Darkfighter" camera's in order not to have IR reflection problems, only to find that IR can not be switched off. There is nothing in the NVR (DS-7608NI-12/8P) software and with...

Hi, i would like to buy an darkfighter DS-2CD4526FWD-IZ as english or chinese version. On ali i can buy an english version, the seller told me it has firmware 5.3.9. The latest version for this cam i found on the internet is 5.3.5. Does 5.3.9 really exist? Do you know this firmware? thank...

Hello If anyone is interested, here is live stream of DS-2DF6236V-AEL, using Youtube. I want to record some fireworks during New Year in Warsaw so it will point in different direction soon :)

I posted this elsewhere but thought I'd post it here too to help anybody having trouble with the IR Light button on the PTZ menu on the main BI screen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully this will help...

Hello guys, i need a little help. I have DS-2CD6026FHWD aka Darkfighter with basic firmware 5.1.4. I need to upgrade it to 5.3.4 to have LPR recognition inside it, but when i try upgrade failed. So i took Hikvision TFTP autoupdate, followed all instructions and still i am not at upgrade...

Hi! I thought that some ppl will be interested in some video sample from this camera. I know that it's not as popular as like 2 cameras (because those are cheap), but still fun to watch :) Here is range test: Here is comparison with Darkfighter PTZ - 200m IR LED range (but still can see at...
