Is it still not possible to use the 8003 without an indoor station? I’m looking for an outdoor station that works with hik-connect app without the indoor station, I have no use for it..

Yes the 8MP is a bullet camera, I did not yet try the 4MP turret one (or 4MP bullet one for that matter) so not sure what the difference is but I would assume that the full colour day/night image is the same since specs give the same lux but they do use a different sensor so maybe..

I'm not sure what's wrong but I've tested a G2 colorvu (8MP) at a site where there was no lighting, nothing, pointed away from any street, only partial moon lighting and the picture was day like, it was crazy. Offcourse standard 1/12 but I've set it to 1/25 and still a daytime full color image...

You can enable WDR to get more clarity in the shadow areas. You say you have less detail, I think you have more detail now, look at the floor tiles, much more detail besides the 2335 which has a lot of noise in the picture, loosing detail.

Collateral damage, if you mount it on the ceiling you won't see people's faces. But I've never sold a fish eye before, just put more camera's :p

Lower manufacturing cost. They have a fabrication process that includes the 5.6.2 firmware, if they want to add another firmware to that process, the process itself needs a change which results in change management, testing, etc... Why do all of that when the customer can just upgrade the...

No that's for professional installers who want to manage the CCTV systems of their customers. The desktop software is iVMS4200 and the smartphone app is Hik-Connect. All free and work very well. Where do you want to record to?

What? Why? Hikvision for example has free to use software for PC & smartphone.

Mine, from Belgium, was also on the 5.5.154 firmware when delivered, upgraded tot 5.5.160 to have the LED on motion feature. Disable slow shutter -> configuration -> image -> Exposure Settings -> default is 1/12 and that's really slow, gives a very bright picture at night but moving objects...

Your camera has acusense technology built in so the 'standard' motion detection works pretty well, I just use motion detection and set it to 'human' and get a 95% accurate result and almost no false positives.

Just use the 5.5.160 Hikvision firmware from their website: DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) | ColorVu Series | Network Cameras | Hikvision | Hikvision It should add the white light alarm function and you set the time duration under event -> linkage method, not under image settings.

No, like you I also have no idea what the 'C' variant is, I will contact Hikvision for that.

I still have 3 in the box waiting for installation, maybe I try that G5 firmware on one of them soon.

I wanted to post this but did not yet find the time to dig deeper but here it goes: Yes the 5.5.160 G3 firmware has been taking down from the portal, no idea why but the G5 foldername got updated with "2xx7G2" so it appears we will be using the G5 firmware as of now? If you look at the release...

The 'bowl' of the turret can be separated from the mount, so if you can find a way to position the 'bowl' itself, it's possible. See ->
