    STARVIS vs Starlight ?

    IIRC, there's a 4MP Starlight turret, but it uses CVI instead of IP. Hikvision has a 3MP Ultra-Low Light turret, which has the same stuff as the Dahua Starights... I think if you compare the resolution of the 2MP Starlight vs the 3MP Ultra-Low Light, the only "advantage" the 3MP has is that...

    DS-2CD2335FWB-I .vs. DS-2CD2355FWB-I

    Thought Hikvision's equivalent to Dahua's Starlight was called "Darkfighter"... or is Ultra Low Light just another name for Darkfighter technology? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    USA Equivalent Model number for IPC-HDW5231R-Z ?

    Thanks for making reference to the 2018 US Dahua catalog, I hadn't seen it before: http://us.dahuasecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018-Dahua-Technology-Full-Product-Catalog-web.pdf I am glad that it explains what they're doing with the term Starlight, because IMO they're using it with US camera...

    DS-2CD2335FWB-I .vs. DS-2CD2355FWB-I

    Some specs below. The 3MP Hik is an Ultra-Low Light model, which is Hik's equivalent of Dahua's Starlight. So performance is about the same... it's just that for the extra MP you get, the image is virtually the same width as 2MP (128 pixels wider), it's just taller (456 pixels)... which isn't...

    Ideas for replacement cameras

    Interesting. IMO, there are three main reasons why forum members here have been favoring Dahua: 1) Dahua came out with their low-light series (Starlight) many months before Hikivision released theirs (Ultra Low Light) 2) Dahua has many more models of Starights compared to Hikvision's Ultra...

    Ideas for replacement cameras

    As has been mentioned lots on various threads - depending on location, domes can be quite troublesome with IR flare and reflections. General experience (my own included, I swapped out my domes and bullets a while back) is that the turret format works really well. No water spots, no real problems...

    Recommend me a good nightvision camera

    Dahua’s Starlight series and Hikvision’s Ultra-Low Light series use the same tech for great low-light performance. I think Dahua got the edge here because folks here were able to buy Starlights for months before the first Hik Ultra Low-Light came out. Dahua has many more shapes/sizes than...

    Equipment purchase in Canada vs. Aliexpress

    Do you mean Andy (@EMPIRETECANDY)? He's been the forum's Dahua go-to guy since the Starlight series came out late in 2016. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that he's sold thousands of cameras to forum members here, shipping them around the world. He has an AE store, but he can...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I or DS-2CD2385FWD-I for backgarden with no light?

    To do well in low-light situations, you'll want a model that Hikvision labels Ultra-Low Light, or one Dahua has labeled Starlight. These cameras have fewer megapixels (i.e. most are 2MP, a few might be 3MP) and use a Sony STARVIS image sensor (which was designed to work magic in low-light...

    Dahua dome that displays good and color at night

    I don't know of a way that guarantees that Dahua will support you (as an end-user). I've seen posts from folks who paid extra to buy their Dahua cameras from authorized Dahua resellers (specifically thinking they'd be eligible for direct Dahua support), only to be told by Dahua that they need...

    New 2 Ipcams

    I have a 3 MP Ultra low light 2035 Hikvision that I like. I am going to get a Dahua 2 MP starlight turret to compare it with, and go with whichever I like the best to replace my 410s.

    Dahua Dome Cams for $150-$200~

    The Cliff Notes should answer this, but Dahua Starlight models are what most folks on here go for, as their nighttime performance is the best for the price. Hikvision makes similar cameras (Ultra Low Light models), but they came out many months after Dahuas, seem to have fewer options, and they...

    Another IT guy looking for advise on Security Systems

    If you want cameras that produce useful images with low light, you want one that’s only 2MP/3MP and has a Sony STARVIS image sensor inside. Dahua cameras with this config are called Starlights (and have been the forum favorite for hundreds of folks since they came out in late ‘16). Hikvision...

    Any news of Hikvision 4K Turrets?

    What do you look at to determine if it's low light or not? If I go to HIK website 2385 product page DS-2CD2385FWD-I-Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. it says "ultra low light network turret camera" in red right under the product number. However, unlike the 2335 it doesn't say "...

    Hi Dmax Dark Fighters are the Hikvision branding for their low light cameras. I purchased a Dahua OEM NVR from Andy, and Dahua OEM starlight cameras, and junction boxes. Purchased bulk cat5e/cat6 cabling, patch panel, RJ45 jacks and plugs. Ran the cabling and connected the cameras into the...

    Welcome Dmax, Please do search the forum, we've had some recent discussions about Lorex kits and cameras here. Definitely recommend caution with regards to purchases from Amazon, Ebay. A number of us have purchased from Andy @EMPIRETECANDY here and due to his honestly and customer service we...

    Announced Hik Cam nowhere to be found - DS-2CD2H25FHWD

    Do you mean this one: Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. My local Distributor is not carrying them in 2MP but they are in 8MP. Perhaps their reasoning is price point related. That's an Ultra Low Light motorized Vari-focal, not a cheap Camera. If you just want to experiment with...

    Bullet Mic Review

    Do you have the options to choose Input or MIc in cam setup? Tried both? Is there any audio noise filter settings you can turn off in the cam setup? The codec shouldn't matter in this regard.

    Bullet Mic Review

    Has anyone had success with this microphone on a Hikvision camera? I've got one of the new 3mp ultra low light varifocal turrets with sound input (line in- via a 3.5mm plug.) I've used a RCA to 3.5mm mono lead to plug the microseven mike into the "line in" and am powering it off a 12V solar...

    Any big advances

    Yes, not as high profile as Dahua starlights, and later to market, but they do exist. It's time I started ordering one to try from Aliexpress. Search Results for Query: hikvision ultra low light | IP Cam Talk

    Weird issue after updating

    4.6.4 The camera border will be yellow when the motion detection is paused, such as after a PTZ command or PTZ preset position change. this could happen to fixed cameras if you setup ptz for some reason or the motion is relying on other cams.

    Weird issue after updating

    After updating from 4.6.2.1 to 4.6.5.4 I noticed that sometimes the camera border will be outlined in yellow while recording (triggered by motion detection) or sitting idle. The yellow circle with exclamation point never appeared in the window frame and everything seemed normal, so I didn't...

    Good replacment for DS-2CD2332-I?

    My Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I is having issues should i replace it with the same model or one the newer hikvisions turrets? They have 3mp, 4, 5 and 8 now and some saying ultra low light in the same MP. It needs to be a turret and 2.8mm. I would like a better picture and better low light if...

    DS-2CD2125FWD-I v DS-2CD2185FWD-I

    Looks a great camera. No idea of the cost as I use a mate of a mate to get prices. There are sooo many cameras to choose from. I won’t be using Dahua as I only know Hikvision. I really don’t want to learn another manufacturers equipment.

    Newbie question about Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE & Lorex LNB8005 4K

    Short answer: you get better "all around" image quality from a camera that has fewer megapixels and a larger image sensor (like the 5231R-Z) than you do from cameras with higher megapixels and a run-of-the-mill image sensor (like the Lorex 4K). Dahua's Starlight models (the 5231R-Z is one) use...
