    Buying a camera

    It says English firmware but is it a chinese camera (with a chinese serial number)? If it is, you may have problems the next time you upgrade the FW, and may need to perform the MTD hack to ensure the camera is recognized by the NVR after the upgrade. Or it may have a Western Region serial...

    Ongoing Problems - DS7608-NI-E2 and 2032

    I believe it is Western Region. See this thread: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5200-Hikvision-camera-with-firmware-v5-3-3-on-Hikvision-NVR/page2 -S

    Ongoing Problems - DS7608-NI-E2 and 2032

    CCCH is a chinese FW camera. If I'm not mistaken, CCRR is non-chinese but very old FW that, when you upgrade, will change to CCWR -S

    Ongoing Problems - DS7608-NI-E2 and 2032

    There are several ways to tell: 1. From the NVR, Menu, Camera management. Look at the camera serial number. If you see the letters CCCH, it is chinese. If you see the letters CCWR it is "World Region" (US). Not sure if you can see the S/N with a switch though. 2. Via a web browser, connect to...

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    Thanks for the setups and the photos. I must admit that the quality in your photos is far superior to the quality in mine.

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    @Kroegtijgertje I noticed that you have a 2CD2342WD-I like I do. Would you be kind enough to post a day-time and a night-time image from that camera? Also all your video and image quality setups would be great. Thanks -S

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    @Kroegtijgertje Is image quality a well-known fix of version 5.3.8? Do you have a link of what that version does over prior versions? -S

    DS-2CD2342WD-I Activation Failed

    I must ask (so pardon me if obvious to you): with SADP, how did you power the camera?

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    Thanks Aster1x and all others who chimed in. Below are the two camera setups and they appear as similar as possible. Both shutter speeds are 1/50s but my resolution issue is whith static objects, so should not be a factor. I am at a loss to understand why the 2342 (under)performs so differently...

    DS-2CD2335-I - Connection/Setup Issues.

    Just as a test, I would click the DHCP box (this would let the system assign a valid IP address.) Currently, the 192.168.1.145 address is fixed, stored inside the camera. Click refresh, and see if the IP address changes from 192.168.1.145. If it does, unclick the DHCP box and enter the new IP...

    DS-2CD2335-I - Connection/Setup Issues.

    Munzz, Do you have a separate power supply to power the camera (when connected to a switch) or is your switch a POE unit? -S

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    There is and I found it at this link: http://www.cam-it.org/index.php?topic=9907.0 I have not tried it yet, but once I have replaced the 2342 with a good old 2332, I will play with settings as recommended by wxman and perhaps consider opening it up. -S

    DS-2CD2335-I - Connection/Setup Issues.

    Hi Munzz, I've had similar issues with 2332 cameras that show up on SADP but nothing happened when I double clicked on the IPv4 address (BTW, only the IPv4 address is ckickable). I found that changing the IPv4 subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 in SADP (from 255.255.255.0) did the trick. Changing this...

    2CD2342WD-I vs 2CD2332-I resolution

    First post here... I just replaced a 2332 (2.8mm, FW V5.2.5 build 141201) with a 2342 (2.8mm, FW V5.3.3 build 150826). Reason for the replacement was higher resolution, more MP, and slightly wider FOV at max resolution. However, I am disappointed with the resolution of the 2342 as shown in the...
