    What's the best Low Light Turret Hikvision Cam this very moment?

    Thanks for your reply alastair. I definitely don't want the ColourVu as it has a light on it. Don't want a light coming on in the night, so that's the reason for sticking with a darkfighter. Question is can a ColourVu (without a light on) beat the Darkfighter DS-2CD2385G1-I or my current...

    Which camera is best in complete darkness using IR only ??

    Hi all, So ignoring the Colour VU Light cams, what right now is the best IR-based Night camera to buy when there is no light? Another question is, if running one of these cams via WiFi and recording via NVR 24/7, would that kill the wifi bandwidth big time?

    NVR ds-7608ni-k1/4p - do i need a fan?

    I was thinking the same, but the HD will still get hot as its recording 24/7 Just to keep things on the safe side, i'm gonna use the fan out of the old NVR and get a combo of SATA splitters to dual power the HD and Fan. -Anyone foresee any problems with doing this? Thanks

    NVR ds-7608ni-k1/4p - do i need a fan?

    Hi, Purchased the ds-7608ni-k1/4p which replaces my old Hik NVr. My old NVR had a fan fitted inside, however the ds-7608ni-k1/4p doesn't have any. Can I fit the old one out of my previous NVR? If so, how, the connection on the new NVR board is missing Any ideas?

    Been a while - need to refresh Hikvision Kit, tell me which NVR and Turrets cams to go for....

    Coney, looking at the specs, my old and current DS-2CD2335FWD-I (0.008 lux) is marginally worse in low light than your DS-2CD2H25FHWD-IZS (0.0068 lux) That mean Powered by Darkfighter is better than Pure Darkfighter…?

    Thanks for the comments so far, so leaving the ColorVu out of the race (don't like the idea of an LED light for low light), which would be best Turret for Night capture with a 4mm lens? Would you say a Darkfighter or a Accu-sense?

    Been a while - need to refresh Hikvision Kit, tell me which NVR and Turrets cams to go for....

    Yeah I looked at the ColorVu, looks good with 0.0014 lux (without the LED on) if that's really true. Only problem I have is the only places local that have them are all 2.8mm lens, i'd want a 4mm Very tasty looking those ColorVu camera, am I right in thinking the dimension (diameter) is much...
