    £600 Saved through £100 CCTV

    That was fixed properly for only 600 pounds? What about going after them for diminished value like they do in the US since it now has a accident record?

    I forgot to ask after switching to the Dahua firmware did you get any additional features like line crossing detection etc?

    Laview LV-PB768P 4K PIR Bullet camera

    Any opinions @mat200? I assume it's 20%+ off usually with Laviews sales.

    Laview LV-PB768P 4K PIR Bullet camera

    I saw searching through LaView and saw these new cameras. The sensor size seems a bit odd at 1/2.3. The specs are below. Anyone have an idea the manufacturer or when someone would use these? Yes I'd rather have a Turret for outdoor but I'm wondering about indoor use for office waiting rooms etc...

    Who's looking at 12mp like IPC-HDBW81230E-ZE and other 12mp price drops?

    In just curious as we now are having 8mp cameras with better 1/1.8 sensors readily available. When will or would we need to move up to 12mp like the IPC-HDBW81230E-ZE at around $450? I know MP isn't everything and sensor size needs to increase for good night vision but for a large area during...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Mine hadn't switched to IR yet where it's positioned so I can't confirm. In theory the cameras @EMPIRETECANDY sells that are 4mp may be similar. I wonder if he knows anything.

    New Hikvision ECI-T24F4, ECI-T24F2

    If it's being used indoors such as a hallway or at the front/ rear door inside it should be OK but outside use the new Dahua 2mp cam to see the front door as it does better in low light only if you must have a dome. Turret Cameras are preferred for outdoor use, you could get a 4mp hikvision...

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    Yes when I removed my original camera and replaced it with the second one I was able to slide it right out quickly. Quick question what benefits do you see going to thr Dahau firmware vs Amcrest? My only concern is image quality.

    I'm interested too and not sure why the reseller won't comment.

    New Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-36MM graphical glitches and freezing runs hot?

    @amcrestt Nor any of its other staff every responded to my inquiry even my second inquiry on their website so it seems they have no interest in supporting their cameras or users even though they apparently sell on this forum. When I made that post I tried 2x POE switches which weren't managed so...

    New Laview DB6 2.1MP AI Doorbell Camera - Battery Powered.

    If it gets rtsp support it will be interesting.

    Backup I would say is a carefully placed wyze cam with the rtsp option installed.

    [MCR] Hikvision packer/unpacker for 5.3.x and newer firmware

    I'm trying to do the same thing in order to get more features, but Is there a dumbed down way to install the Hikvision Firmware for less knowledgeable users?

    Hikvision PTZ DS-2DE2A204W-DE3 purple on the edge of objects when moving occasionally?

    Hi, I installed a Hikvision PTZ mini-dome camera under a tree. One day the utility company cut some branches and I saw the camera move a bit up and down when a small branch maybe 4 inches long hit it and the image bounced up and down. I didn't have a nvr yet for it so the video was lost after a...

    New Laview DB6 2.1MP AI Doorbell Camera - Battery Powered.

    I was looking through Laview and saw this newly listed, though it isn't for sale yet. Its a battery version of a doorbell camera. I assume its a rebranded Hikvision camera. The page is so new the video that is linked is wrong it shows the 3MP one we are used to that is hardwired only. Below is...

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    Luckily we have this Dahua firmware Amcrest on the forum or their websites chat support never responded. I thought I had a issue and wanted to reinstall the original firmware and asked if there's a updated firmware the chat support said they would escalate my inquiry and get back to me.

    @Mike do you have any other suggestions for who to contact at Amcrest? @mromamcrest @James.S after a week never emailed back after the person on their websites chat support stated they would escalate it and someone would get back to me with a copy of the firmware to reinstall and an explanation...

    Splitting one PoE-ethernet cable from my NVR5216-16P-4KS2E for two cameras?

    If we were running cameras in forced day mode with no IR then in theory 3 cameras could work then? So this splitter could be better for indoor use in hallways etc which are always lit or if we have hikvision/ dahua daylight at night cameras with no IR?

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    Yes I have the 3.6mm version. I'm hoping it popular and later they add a 4/6mm option if the volume is enough.

    Budget Dahua Cams or china alternatives under $100?

    I paid 60 and I am pretty happy with that cam. Wish they had a 4mm option or 6mm but it's relatively new. For $60/50 you can't beat it. If it's defective out of the box Amazon can rma it.

    Splitting one PoE-ethernet cable from my NVR5216-16P-4KS2E for two cameras?

    That's quite a interesting device if it's reliable for remote runs. How many years has yours lasted?

    Doorbell camera with easiest user interface for the elderly?

    I agree it's taking Dahua and Hikvision quite some time to release a better level of doorbell camera at around $2-300. I'd even pay 500 if it uses a great low light sensor.

    Doorbell camera with easiest user interface for the elderly?

    Thank you @djernie this person does have some good content for different cameras. Glad someone is impartial and doing side by side testing.
