This camera has 1/3" image sensor at 1280 x 960 max resolution. If you get this going in a wide open space and measure a set distance from the camera (say 30 feet) and then measure the width between the left and right extremities at that 30 ft mark, you should be able to punch that width data...

@alastairstevenson Thanks for your feedback but I'm going to have to disagree with you in this instance. While I've certainly seen reflective surfaces causing image degradation (not to this degree), I've again proved that rotating the IR LED's on these G1 series Hikvision cameras is all that is...

Today, I have categorically proven that the location of the three IR LED's in the G1 series Hikvision cameras makes a huge difference to the likelihood of image spotting and to the contrast of the image. Take a look at my before and after shots below.

Turns out I had two issues. The previous installer had left a small barely visible smudge on the lens itself but more importantly, I've noted today that the 3 x hidden IR LED's in these G1 platform cameras must always remain above the glass bubble line. If you have the IR LED's at the bottom...

Yep, polished the dome inside and out.

Anyone else seen this? I have other 4MP Hik cameras that look just fine at night but two of this model with 2.8mm lenses have unusable night-time images. I suspect the 4mm version of the same camera does not have this issue from what I've seen on YouTube? If I back off the IR output a bit it...

Your Sir are a legend. I had an old 4421R-AS that I accidentally factory reset without thinking and it diverted back to Chinese. This firmware with the Config Tool fixed it but I had to do a factory reset with the Config Tool to be able to get into it. All working now with much newer firmware...

Your Sir are a legend! Thank you. There are so many 'hidden' boxes that I'm getting used to coming over from Dahua. Live preview working now and firmware updated. Awesome!

Hey there, I've got two new HIK cameras, a DS-2CD2155FWD-I with V5.5.0 build 170725 and a DS-2CD2143G0-I with V5.5.5 build 180301. I've configured a third half image detection zone below for the DS-2CD2155FWD-I and a similar zone on the G0. For the life of me, I cannot get the zone to change...

Thanks, thought has much. I'll see if anyone else has issues with the VMD on this model. I could probably work with Chinese though if the VMD worked properly.

Hi there, I've got two of these models amongst quite a few other models and these two are just not reliable on VMD. I've set up a primary zone with the various sensitivity levels and thresholds and at times, it will simply miss major motion events. I can walk from one Dahua camera (another...
