Just a heads up for anyone looking into the Hikvision solar camera set ups.
I just recieved the DS-2XS2T47G1-LDH/4G/C18S40 from Hikvision as a demo unit and to my surprise there is no RJ45 input port coming from the camera at all. I thought I was going crazy and reached out to Hikvision tech support and to my surprise they confirmed there is no RJ45 port on the camera.
I intended to forego the 4G Sim card route and was going to try a Hikvision bridge route and unfortunately this camera set up only for the 4G route.

I'll be testing this unit out for the next few weeks and will report back. If anyone has questions about the unit let me know and I'll get back to you.

This unit is a BEAST though.

Tested G0, i hope G1 has better solar. G0 was nice as long as weather was nice and sunny, because when solar is unable to charge it properly your camera is useless. Hikvision should make some changes here and allow connecting external power supply (not only as temporary).

Yea I seriously don't understand the lack of a RJ45. What makes me even more frustrated it's not stated on the website or even in the Data Sheet.
I'll keep an eye on the solar input and output and let you know what the results are
 
Now i noticed that next to microsd slot you have 8pin LAN interface, probably for debugging. You are sure there is no connector included?

The LAN interface is only for "access the cameras web interface". So debugging only. The LAN pin connector they provided is obviously not made for continuous use or outdoor usage. I suppose I could drill through the settings cover and feed the LAN connector through and then waterproof it but I'd rather not destroy this demo camera.

Did the G0 you had come with a built in PIR sensor?
 
So for the past month and a half I installed this camera along with two other DS-2XS6A47G1-IZS/C36S80. I have been running into 4g connection issues with the stream dropping. When I first set these cameras up no where did Hikvision state that you need to set up the APN for the camera. This is found under the network settings - wireless dial - dial parameters. The first SIM card I tried was a Verizon SIM so the APN had to be updated to vzwinternet. I only found this out after calling Hik support after testing this thing out for two weeks and I was unable to get it to connect to the network. After letting them run for a month I have found that the connection drops intermittently and without reason. Today I installed different SIM cards into two of the cameras to see if the issue stems from the Verizon SIM but I believe I am still having the connection issues. The newest SIM cards have 3 network options built into it so I don't believe I have to enter anything into the APN settings.

If anyone has ran into the issue before or has any advice, I'm all ears.
