    DS-2CD2542FWD-IS total darkness when lights out

    Maybe adjusting the camera so that if there was something vertical in the centre of the frame it looks vertical in the image might help. Some of my cameras did stick a number of times requiring me to hit them to free them up, I was lucky that they started working reliably. If they keep giving...

    DS-2CD2542FWD-IS total darkness when lights out

    I think the filter can sometimes stick in its rails. The easiest way to fix it is to strike the bottom of the camera with something soft like the palm of your hand. If its a bullet camera you might want to hold the top of the camera while striking it with the other hand to reduce the shock on...

    DS-2CD2T42WD-I8 Powered but no Data

    Hopefully you have configured the TP-Link TL-SG1016PE to have a network 192.168.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 with a computer assigned an ip address on the 192.168.1 network that you are pinging the camera with. The default ip address of the camera is 192.168.1.64. The computer should be able to...

    DS-2CD2T42WD-I8 Powered but no Data

    You could try accessing it from a web browser: http://192.168.1.64/ And you can ping it from the command line: ping 192.168.1.64 When the camera is first powered on, or while it is booting after a reboot, after a short while it starts responding to pings. Accessing it from the web browser...

    DS-2CD2325FWD-I 2MP Ultra-Low Light Network Turret Camera

    In my test of the 4MP DS-2CD2T42WD-I8 16mm at 1am in the morning, no street lights, no other lighting, it could get a marginal id shot at about 66 feet. It has much stronger IR than the 4MP DS-2CD2345-I 4mm turret, which can only see to about 20' before the IR is too weak (at about 40 feet its...

    FOV of 2CD2352-I for various lenses

    The datasheet does not give the diagonal fov angle measurement. So this is all guessing. There is some hearsay that Hikvision are using the OmniVision OV5658 sensor in their 2 series 5MP cameras. The data sheet says: sensor area: 4.592mm x 3.423mm sensor pixels: 2592 x 1944 pixels camera...

    Looking for a Nvr

    I have a Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 NVR that has been running fine recording five DS-2CD2345-I cameras using H265+ at 10fps, variable bit rate, highest quality, 4MP resolution for a week so far. I recommend checking this thread for help in deciding between the 8 and 16 channel I series NVRs...

    No worries. The seller and I continued to communicate using messages in the closed Aliexpress order. The seller asked if I was willing to pay by Paypal. I agreed. The seller asked for my email address that is associated with my Paypal account, which I provided. The seller sent me an email...

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 Seagate Skyhawk 10TB

    For your interest: I installed one Seagate Skyhawk 10TB in a Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 NVR which was running the original firmware (V3.4.2 something I think), it initialized fine. Then I upgraded the firmware to V3.4.90, Build 160926 from here...

    Failed Aliexpress Transaction?

    I had the same thing. So I rang my bank, Aliexpress did not even attempt to charge my Visa. So Aliexpress were asking me to "appeal", then they ask for scans of: 1) scan of id such as a drivers license or passport *and* 2) scan of my bank statement *and* 3) scan of my credit card Of course...
