    5MP 2CD2T55 Face detection feature

    I just picked up a 2CD2T55F-I8 with 6mm lens from EBay and I'm wondering how face detection works. I have it perched under the eave of my garage pointing out the driveway and I'm walking in front of it looking into the camera from about 10ft away. It does not alert of any face detection or...

    comparing 2.8mm lens and 16mm lens

    Interesting! I wonder if they'll fit the 2CD2T55 type of camera frame thanks!

    2CD3T45 rebooting after every motion event

    No solution for me... I've been email-less with that camera and just use it to record motion events. I rely on my other cameras pointed in the same area to email me status. The last time I emailed the seller to see if they have an updated US firmware, they didn't... Needless to say, I just...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    I have a 2T45-I8 running 5.3.3. Email with pictures attached causes the camera to reboot...it's logged and consistent every time. Email with just the header and no pictures attached works fine but is pretty much useless. Is there a newer firmware available?

    is 200mbps powerline enough for the camera?

    The newer Netgear PLC adapters work. I'm currently using the latest PL1200 and it's been running faultlessly. My former Powerline 500 XAVB-something I forgot, locked up occasionally. They're the ones that look like little cubes and appear to be no longer sold by Netgeat.

    12V power through Cat5e?

    My bad... I missed the 38W requirement from the camera. All 4 24AWG twisted pairs used together is about the same as a single pair of 18AWG. 3 pairs twisted together is about the same as a 20AWG pair. Feeding 12V on the end of 100ft (times 2) will probably work at light loads, but if the...

    Cannot send email with attachment

    No bueno :-( Tried constant bit rate and it still reboots on every motion detect. What are your other settings? I'm running 20fps, 4MP mode, 4096Mbps. It also rebooted a couple times when I was in playback mode, but I'm not sure if there was a motion detect in the meanwhile.

    Cannot send email with attachment

    This makes at least 3 of us who have the same problem. It's definately a firmware issue. My unit reboots consistently on each event when email is enabled. https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/6553-2CD3T45-rebooting-after-every-motion-event I'm talking with the seller, but so far no...

    POE Cameras connected by Powerline

    I've been using a pair of Netgear Powerline 1200 PLC adapters between the house and my garage to serve 6 cameras http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S6DBGJM?ref_=cm_cr-mr-title It works reasonably well. Best case bandwidth is 1200Mbps, but in reality it's quite a bit less depending on how...

    12V power through Cat5e?

    Here's the link to what I was referring. It works well http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PoE150S-Gigabit-Injector-compliant/dp/B001PS9E5I Note this is spec'd to only output 12W @12V, 9W@9V, and 10W @ 5VDC, post DC-DC conversion. Hope this helps!

    12V power through Cat5e?

    It should work but the only potential issue is voltage drop. Calculate what it will look like at the other end of the cable given the camera's maximum power draw and see if it's still within operating spec. 100' is really 200' of wire distance The other option is running 48V poe with a poe...

    2CD3T45 rebooting after every motion event

    I have the same build Mine also has issues only when email is enabled. It reboots consistently if email is configured, else it seems ok when run overnight with email turned off Motion detection seems overly sensitive compared to my other 3MP units It's definitely a firmware issue...

    2CD3T45 rebooting after every motion event

    Just received a 4MP 2CD3T45-I8 running 5.3.3. It reboots itself on every motion detect or intrusion detect. I've disabled NAS storage and IR, and swapped in known good 80W, 48VDC PoE power supplies -- doesn't make any difference. Cable distance to the camera is about 15ft, so line drop...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    I noticed intrusion detection and line crossing are not listed in the specs http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_158_i5605.html Can anyone confirm? Is it because they max'd out the CPU with the higher resolution?
