I ordered a Dahua 5442. I am hoping this camera needs less light than my current hikvision. With a 1/1.8 sensor it should do better than the 1/3 sensor of my current camera. Let’s find out if playing with shutter speeds can give me a decent image…

I’m on synology surveillance station and I could run commands when some motion sensors are triggered, but don’t want to wake up when the camera’s IR is clicking when it turns on when a cat walks by outside.

I get your points. I understand there has to be some kind of light for the camera to pick up. in my case:I sleep in the room the camera is in. When I’m not at home (during night or daytime) the camera also records. I put the camera there, because I think a burglar’s best chance is to enter my...

Sounds like a great solution, but cannot find an ip cam with 940 built in and I’d rather not use an external illuminator.This narrows it down to low light camera’s without IR or a camera that let’s me disable IR and still has some visibility. The room is not pitch black: there is a light burning...

The 940nm would be great if I could find a camera with those kind of leds embedded. An external illuminator is not preferred. IThe regular cams don’t pick up enough light, that’s why I was looking into the low light models like starlight.

I am looking for an IP camera that is capable of recording video at night. I don’t want to use IR because of the visibility of the red glow and I don’t want auxillary LED lighting because I want the room to remain dark. There is some ambient lighting in the room. My current hikvision (with IR...

However, I am not a craftsman :-(

I like the last solution!

Thanks! Do you by any chance know if an angled base (like the AB110) fits and if there is enough room for the pig tail to fit beneath this base? Edit: Attached a picture I found online with a mini dome mounted on a junction box. I am looking for anything with a more “snug” fit.

I recently ordered a Hikvision DS-2CD2543G0-IS and plan to mount it on a wall at my front door. I am looking for a (slightly) angled mount. The pig taill should fit behind this bracket. Does anyone have a suggestion for a bracket that will fit this camera? There are junction boxes available...

I am looking for a small PTZ camera which I can add as a standalone camera via wifi to my network. There should be a webinterface reachable via iphone, ipad, desktop computer without installing software. Video should be saved to my synology NAS via NFS. No web interface = no go...

Thanks for the replies. I think I bought the wrong device for my purpose...

I just received my new camera. I am trying to set it up, but his is proving difficult. When I try to add the camera with the Hik-Connect app; the camera is not connecting to my wifi. To date, this is the only device that has ever failed in connecting to my wifi. Because of this I connected the...
