Hi - we have 2 DS-2CD2332-I cameras which have been working fine circa 2014 and detecting motion/intrusion without needing any changes for many years. In the past 2 weeks or so, the one started to not detect motion/intrusion and then the second one also started having issues but not has bad as the first. The first one is exposed to the late summer sun and then the cold and damp during winter - are the sensors mal-functioning and is it time to get replacements ?
 
Anyone have any suggestions for a replacement that would give use the same capabilities:

  • needs to run via Cat5 POE per current setup
  • hopefully can fit the existing wall mounts for ease of switch out
  • do the usual motion detection and send emails of pictures or trigger other events
  • secure remote monitoring via phone app and DDNS
 
Was able to confirm that the HiLook 6MP IPC-T261H-MU has the same mount (M12) and same dimensions which looks to be a downgraded version by HikVision. There is also the Annke c800 i91bf which seems to have the same M12 mount and dimensions and is a US market version by HikVision. Anyone had experiences with either ?
