    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    How far have you got it zoomed in? That's one of the cameras I recently replaced, if you're using the full zoom capability then you might be better off going for the Colorvu bullet @Parley mentioned- which can be bought with a 6mm lens. DS-2CD2T87G2-L The turret version only comes in 2.8 and...

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    8MP Colorvu 4mm turret, the garage door is about 4m from the camera. Contrast turned down to improve detail in shadows. Edit: the verandah post is 2.1m from the camera and Hik specs say focus distance is 3.6m to infinity for the 4mm 8MP 2387. The rego on the neighbour's red car can easily be...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    Can you contact the city / company in charge of fixing the street lights and log a job for them to trim the tree? I did that on the website for the company that maintains the lights locally and they came out and trimmed the tree back.

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    I've found the results are better using multiple light sources- of a lower intensity- than trying to light the whole area with one super bright light. Or, if youve got one bright source, dont have it near the camera. The reason being if someone gets close to the camera a bright light can cause...

    You could put up solar PIR lights - these are incredibly bright Leclstar 268 LED . They can either be off until motion is detected or dimly lit until motion. I've got a few where my Colorvu cameras are for extra lighting (and as an additional deterrent.)

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    You need to check the FOV specs as a 4mm lens on one camera won't necessarily be the same FOV as another model. The sensor size comes into it as well. The 4mm 4MP Colorvu turret FOV is 95 degrees DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) , the 4mm 8MP is 88 degrees. DS-2CD2387G2-L(U) Check the specs on your old camera.

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    It's harder to ID someone with a wider FOV at the same distance (i.e. smaller magnification lens on the same camera model.) So it's best to not go any wider than necessary. DORI numbers are supposed to give a rough guide.

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    If you're going for Hikvision that shouldn't disappoint, I'm not sure how Dahua compare. Be aware having a super bright built in light on the camera itself may give impressive distant night vision, but will likely wash out facial features (with fair coloured skin) when a person is close...

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    Yes, same sensor and same low light performance (going by Hikvisions spec for both.) I'm not sure why the min focus distance specs are different for the same focal length f1.0 lens?

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    ? The specs say they both have the 1/1.2" sensor and the same 0.0005 lumen rating. https://www.hikvision.com/au-en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/ds-2cd2087g2-l-u-/...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    LOL I spoke too soon. One (DS-2CD2386G2-IU) appeared to be glitching a couple of times last night on Live View. I'm 99% sure it's because I'm pushing the bandwidth limits on the NVR too far. It was related to the other cameras having motion occuring on them at the same time.

    Did you get it fixed? I've now got two DS-2CD2386G2-IU that have been running for a couple of days. I haven't noticed anything untoward happening.

    DS-2CD2347G2-LU no LED control

    I updated one of mine to the UK firmware with the additional light control switching via motion- the light also comes on during the day if set to motion triggering. You can also set how many seconds you want it to stay on for.

    Which 4k/8mp color night vision cameras???

    I've got two of these, both 4mm. One off an AliExpress store about 6mths ago, it came with the bottom of the box unsealed and had some focus issues. It wasn't from Empiretecandy. I recently adjusted the focus myself and its a lot better I just bought the second one from @EMPIRETECANDY and it's...

    8mp, 1/1.2, with IR

    There is firmware that allows motion triggering for the built in light, but you do need some ambient light for them to "see" that motion. They won't work with little to no visible light.

    DS-2CD2347G2-LU no LED control

    I tried some settings on mine thinking it may have disabled the light unless the camera was triggered, but instead I've got the light on dimly all the time. I'll have to upgrade to that firmware.

    DS-7608NI-I2/8P Help

    Did you initially try loading a firmware from a different region- they can be region locked and you get that sort of gibberish when that's happened. The unlock file should have work though. There are some older posts on here with instructions on how to unlock them via the serial port. Searching...

    DS-2CD2347G2-LU no LED control

    What settings did you have to control the LED in the old firmware? I've been trying to work out how to set the LED to only come on with motion on a DS-2CD2387G2 - which uses the same firmware. My current firmware is V5.7.2 build 211109 Older firmware versions are here...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    The Accusense smart detection of people and vehicles is a huge step forward. I've gone from being annoyed at everything from Autumn leaves/ rain/ shadows/ fog constantly triggering markers to 95% being only cars and people. I don't use motion detection on the Colorvu. It makes reviewing footage...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    You're in Australia... Hikvision Australia hold back local firmware updates (or did in the past) so you're literally years behind the O/S firmware. Then they region lock the NVR's so you can only upload Australian firmware releases- or else you "brick it". That's what I got for buying locally...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    I tried a comparison with my 8MP 4mm Colorvu Gen2 with the S22 on 1x (closest equivalent view). The phone defaulted to 1/17s shutter speed and the pic was a bit worse than the Colorvu- with it operating at a quicker 1/50s exposure. The panoramic would have been nice, but the narrow vertical...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    I had that happening on my 7608 running an 8MP Gen 2 Colorvu. In my case it was the live view screen glitching for that camera about every 19 seconds, with the screen momentarily freezing and the date/ time display disappearing during the quick glitch. In my case it seemed to be related to the...

    DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) can you connect via wifi?

    You need to use the RJ45 interface to connect ethernet cabling to an existing NVR (network video recorder) or a PC running suitable software. It won't work via wifi without you adding some more equipment via that RJ45 output port.

    Hi Andy, are they going to add freight costs onto the site's shop? I was looking through it a couple of days ago, added a camera to the cart but it looked like you have to enter all your details before you can get the freight charges?
