Will be buying 8 of the cameras below for the exterior of my house:
- Hikvision Exir 2CD2332-I 3 MP Turret Dome IP Camera (or the equivalent new 4MP cams)
- Hikvision 2CD2032-I 3MP IP Bullet Camera (or the equivalent new 4MP cams)
Most will be under overhangs / eves, and protected from Los Angeles sun and rain, so I would assume either would work just as well in this application?
A couple of the cameras will be on the side of the house unprotected from Los Angeles sun and rain: Im wondering if the bullets would preform / holdup better? (Plus they have a shade over there lens to protect glare from sun?) I prefer the style of the turret, so if it will hold up, and work just as well, would go with this, (and the lens would be pointed at a downward angle, should that make a difference with sun / rain issues)?
Is it true the Turret has better night vision that the Bullet?
My present setup:
DS-776NI-SP:Firmware V3.1.0 build 140429 Encoding V1.0140325
Cameras, DS-2CD2532F-ISW, DS-2CD2432F-IW, DS-2CD2032-I (All Firmware V5.1.6)
Unfortunately didn't read the forums and made the mistake of ordering my first 3 cameras on Amazon. They are Chinese V5.1.6 firmware. I now understand I can't update the firmware on these. The NVR is USA.
Your cameras are USA, and not Chinese with english hack software?
What is the firmware version for the 2CD2332-I and 2CD2032-I (and the equivalent new 4MP cams)?
Will they work with my NVR with V3.1.0?
(The reason why I may need to leave the NVR at V3.1.0, is when I try to update the NVR to V3.1.5, the webvideoplugin doesn't work for the Chinese cams) (webvideoplugin does work for the NVR, just can't access the camera Traverse, Intrusion, etc, software)
Please send me info on prices and how to buy!
Can the DS-776NI-SP NVR handle the the new 4MP cams OK?
Thanks!
