    Stuck IR Cut Filter

    I had the one you have for a few years before started having issues with IRs but they were indoor cameras. For outdoor use I personally buy Hikvision turrets or mini bullets, I had G1s and most recently G2 darkfighter series. Actually I really like the new G2 Acusense. Just bought 4 more to...

    Stuck IR Cut Filter

    I owned couple of these probably 6 years ago. I also had issue with IR lights. It's amazing you got 7 years out of them. If you have to take them down for warranty get something more modern as these have been terrible for night time viewing.

    Mobile push notifications with Hikvision NVR?

    Thanks! I didnt know there is another app. Hikvision has bunch of apps in the play store. I wonder why hik connect is only available through their website.

    Mobile push notifications with Hikvision NVR?

    Given Hikvision NVR (not using ivms-4200) is it possible to enable push notifications to Android ivms-4500? There is an option to set alert to "notify Surveillance Center" but it doesn't seem to do anything. In mobile if I try to enable Alarm notifications I get message "Permissions were not...

    Help with valuation please?

    I agree with what was recommended here. You are not getting much for this dated configuration. Also I have not had much luck reselling IP cameras (even not so dated Hikvision G1 cameras) on anything but eBay.

    DS-7616NI-I2 vs DS-7616NXI-I2/4S worth upgrade?

    I have had DS-7616NI-I2 for a few years now, I see there is DS-7616NXI-I2/4S which Hikvision markets it as "Accusense NVR". I am not sure what that means really since my new Accusense G2 cameras work fine with older I2. Is there any benefit with upgrade to this new one...

    DS-2CD2386G2-IS How to setup face recognition?

    Received the new cameras and not having much luck with setting up face recognition. I seemed to enable everything in Hikvision NVR that relates to it, but no alerts being generated. Is there any recommended settings or instructions how to set it up? Thanks!

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Sorry for late reply. I am traveling now and I won't be able to get to it for awhile, but I will try to post a video. You could probably find existing youtube videos to get an idea if you don't want to take my word that image is better then 5231R-Z. I ordered several variations of different...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    It's 5231R-Z, I just realized that no brand cams have IMX290 while 5231R-Z is using IMX291 which explains why my Dahua is worse, IMX290 is actually an improvement over IMX291. I have a bunch of other Chinese cams with IMX322 which been running fine for over two years now and thought it was time...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Wanted to share my feedback on this "highly rated" camera. I bought couple of these cams, but for the $$$ I am not impressed. One has bad focus in the corner and no way to adjust, the second one is fine, but image quality (especially at night) is not very impressive. At the same time I also...
