Yes, the IPVM test is interesting. But I'm hoping to find a system that works out-of-the-box instead of doing research and testing of my own. But thank you for your link. AJ

Does anyone know of a camera or system that will take video or still images of drivers inside their vehicle? I know such systems exist because all the red light cameras have these. The cameras work with a flash/strobe and are able to get good images through the windshield. I'm hoping that a...

I just purchased a LTS version of the same camera (I think): LTCMIP7923WLPR-32R . I've reviewed the specs and they appears to be identical. I'm going to install in next week. (LTS is an authorized dealer of both Hikvision AND their own LTS brand of Hikvision gear. I have no idea why they have...

I need a small tablet (7 or more inches) to view my cameras. Viewing the cameras with IVMS is the primary purpose of the tablet. I mistakenly bought an Amazon Fire HD tablet but it will not run any version of IVMS (in spite of the fact that it is an Android based system.) Took me several hours...

Thanks for the data on using the camera with wifi.

I like this model camera. Great picture quality. Observations: I no idea why they call this a "cube" camera. The shape is certainly not a cube. The camera has audio but I've found it very low powered - you can only hear loud talking or sounds. I think HK could have easily turned up the basic...

Yes, the mounting plate comes off. You have to unscrew the post from the base. It will come apart. BTW: I did not want to have such a long post so I completely removed the post and then screwed the rotating mount into the base plate. Seems to work fine this way.

Another problem presented with this 4MP camera -- after making changes to various parameters (trying to fix the flashing), the camera will not save settings. Even with I am directly connected to the camera via browser GUI, I cannot get the camera to save the GAIN setting (for one.) I had turned...

I have a similar 4mp camera (2CDC2041WD-I) and it has the same problem: White flashing. But the white flashing on mine is not associated with motion detection. It happens every 10-20 seconds or so. The only time I can make it happen is when I click the "save" button while connected via browser...

I don't think I can make it any clearer than in my previous post: The good firmware is 5.3.3. The bad firmware is: 5.3.2 I don't recall if the bad camera firmware version showed up in the NVR. Keep in mind that this ONLY APPLIES TO THE 4MP 2CD2042 CAMERA.

Sorry: Yes, the firmware shows on the box label -- and on the NVR for the new, working camera. The good firmware is 5.3.3. The bad firmware is: 5.3.2

Well, the mystery of why my NVR would not install a 4MP camera appears to have been solved. I was working with a BAD CAMERA. I can say that because today I received another 4MP camera (same model number: 2CDC2041WD-I) and when I plugged it in to the NVR, it was installed without any problem...

I just noted that with the new 3.4 firmware, there is a checkbox for H264+ but it is greyed out.

I did get 3.4 firmware installed on the NVR. But the new 4MP camera will still not install. Same problem. Maybe it is a bad camera (?). The 3.4 firmware is, however, very nice. Quite different than the old firmware. Has support for all the VCA functions like line crossing, object detection...

No, that doesn't work. Tried it many, many times.
