Hi, I was looking through and couldn't find anything on this updated 4mp product nor anyone selling it yet in the USA. 4mp is an improvement, but I don't see the exact specs for lighting. I wonder if there have been any improvements besides resolution from the 2mp version. Anyone interested...

Hi all, I have a relative with DS-2CD2332-I around their property. I don't know exactly how old they are but I know it has been at least 5 years since the install. They have issues with cars being broken into and the front of the house to the sidewalk is about 40 ft and it is not very bright in...

Hi it's DS-2DE2A204W-DE3

Hi, I know wifi should be the dead last option but we tried fishing ethernet through the walls but it was a mess to get to the 2nd floor and drilling a hole in the floor isn't an option. Has anyone ever used a bulb socket splitter then a bulb to outlet adapter successfully with a Dahua 1 amp...

Hikvision sent me a email stating the model is discontinued and I can send it in for repairs but it will take another 4-6 weeks. If they can't repair it they will provide B-Stock. If the model is discontinued could a distributor still get more of them or it's a dead end? From my point of view...

I had a PTZ camera I bought on sale from B&H fail in two ways first the slight purple hue on moving vehicles intermittently then water ingress. It lasted four months from when it was installed. I contacted B&H which stated to contact Hikvision when I was originally told by Hikvision to contact...
