What would people recommend for a 'overview' camera? A lot seem to have a 1/3 lense which is probably too small?

Is there anything youd recommend to suit our older NVR whilst offering better detail?

https://www.hikvision.com/uk/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2145FWD-I-S-/ Not really sure what im looking for but that ones a 4mp camera, IR and I think it has a good image sensor 1/2.7" which I guess is better than a 1/1.8" sensor? Ah, just seen the 1/1.8 is a...

Not limiting myself to colorVu. One that is reasonably priced and does the job better than what we have is what im looking for really.

Their upgrade or bigger brother would probably fit the criteria well. Maybe a 4mp or a 6mp camera would have enough detail in the image to better what we have currently, and have no issues with the older NVR we have.

Not too sure how far it is to that gate in all fairness. Your right the existing is just for overview at present, which is why we are looking for something a bit better to give more detail. I believe that's off a dome camera with one of the numbers linked above.

Same camera in the dark We used to have outdoor lights along the wall, but they all failed so really low light along there at present

I thought the NVR might be bandwidth restricted so thought best to ask rather than just add and have issue. I have attached a couple of pictures of the camera we want to replace with the main drive up to our garage. I mean the current ones just about make out a license plate at the distance...

Greetings all. Having had a lot of success on the CCTV system we were left with when we moved in with no user details, ive popped back along to see what people would recommend in terms of adding extra cameras to our system. We have a 16port NVR (DS-7616-E2-16p) and currently have 5 cameras...

Hmmm, makes sense. Especially if I was confusing the male end and female end of the RJ45. If thats the case, im surprised the wiring in the RJ45 pic above I made up actually works. As it should be out.

Look at pin 6 on the wall socket. Normally this is the green wire on a standard cat5/6 lead. Which corresponds to green/white on the diagram if looking at the unedited one. but if you go off the cable colour for the B version, it ends up as pin 3 for the yellow cable.

Strange. It’s definitely wrong if I do it according to the diagram above, even reversing the pins from 1-8. I had to use the wall socket adapter and match the pin layout with the wire colour in the hikvision document to make the right order cable. this is definitely a value series camera. I...

Hi all Just a post to see if any other people have struggled sticking a male RJ45 on the end of a hikvision lead. Ive done it in the past and was successful. Another of our cameras suffered corroded pins inside the female connector on the hikvision lead. So did some end to end testing with...

Yeah, great recap. helpful for others aswell. Got it working on the NVR today aswell, just need a fresh cat5 connector on the wire and mount it back up on the wall. Thanks for your help :D
