    Two Qs: Good IR Illuminator and "Backlight Compensation" settings

    1) I have 3 CMvision illuminators including the one you posted and have had very good results, no burned out LED's running nearly 2 years. 2) Set this according to where your light source is coming from. Picture is the CMvision IR130, this area is very dark and gets no natural light

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    "5. PTZ controls from my NVR are noticeably laggy with a delay response when trying to move the camera." I do not see any lag on my NVR DS-7816E-N2 non-POE, I do get lag through IVMS-4500 to the NVR but this is the case with other PTZ I have used, the lag is reduced if I connect IVMS straight...

    Huisun IP PTZ Camera, with Hikvision Protocols

    What was the cost for alarm/audio IO, i did not know this was an option when I ordered, I did get POE, may have to get another.

    2MP vs 4MP?

    A good low light cam for the money is the DS-2CD4026FWD (2mp), it’s a box cam so you will have to add a lens and an enclosure. It has RS485 so it can be used on a pan/tilt mount. I have a DS-2CD4024F box cam that does well at night but not nearly as good as the 26. The advantage of a box cam is...

    Hikvision 7698NI-E2/8P - Problem Displaying All 4 Cameras in 2*2 Multiscreen

    Sounds to me you have ran out of bandwidth. Your title says "7698NI-E2" did you mean 7608NI-E2? On Nellys web site it shows they sell the 7608NI-SE2 (40Mbps) this is not the same as the 7608NI-E2 (80Mbps). Are you running all 4 cams main stream at 3mp? try turning the main stream quality...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    That one at Nellys is the 3mp (still a good cam), I ordered the 2342 4mp on Ali 2 weeks ago but it still has not shipped. The seller has kept me updated and said being a new cam and high in demand it is a longer than normal lead time from Hikvision.

    DS-7604NI-E1 vs DS-7604NI-E1/4P

    I was in the same situation as you about 2 years ago upgrading my analog to HD, I got an 8ch Hik NVR with 4 cams, this quickly grew to 8 cams and the problem was I ran out of bandwidth and had to dial down the quality of the cams to meet the bandwidth requirements of the NVR. I fixed this...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    If the spiders are to much you may want to consider adding an external IR and turning the internal off, this will keep the bugs away and eliminate IR bleed plus give you better IR coverage. I have had very good results with CMvision IR's, running close to 2 years with no burnt out LED's...

    Looking for some help to get the most out of my Darkfighter Camera

    "-Exposure is set to 1/30 which is oddly the lowest it can go in the firmware." The spec for this cam shows "1 s to 1/100,000 s" I would think a higher end cam like this that is "Ultra Low Light" would be capable of going lower than 1/30. On my 4024 box cams 1/12 gives a much better night...

    I Frame Interval value won't update

    From my experience certain setting on the camera are overwritten by the NVR, for my NVR (7816 non-POE) when I change some settings on the cam through the web interface they will change back to the value in the NVR. If changed in the NVR it will change on the cam and stick. For me I-Frame is not...

    Help me choose: 4526 vs 4535 vs 4585

    All those 4 line cam's are going to be $450+, if you do not need the zoom function the 2 line version 4MP DS-2CD2142FWD-IWS can be had for around $150.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    Just looking at the specs I would say it would be worth it to have at least one in your setup. I am of the belief you should have at least one good quality cam in your setup to cover important areas (front entrance, parking area, etc.). I have 3 box cams (4024, 4032, 2820 ) that cover my...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    If you want better low light performance you could go with the new 3mp box cam (4035FWD) B/W: 0.0005 Lux, looks to be priced about the same as the old 4032FWD (B/W: 0.01 Lux). http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hikvision-IP-Camera-NEW-DS-2CD4035FWD-A-3MP-Smart-IP-Box-Camera/32375226095.html

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    I think the biggest improvement you will see is with the true WDR, it should do much better in certain lighting situations. I agree the price is not that bad at all for true WDR, thought it would be over $200.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    Good question, I am not sure, my 7816 NVR does 30fps from both the main and sub from my DS-4024F cam with no problem but not sure if it will handle anything higher than 30FPS, need to find out.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    They also have some new 3mp box cams that will do B/W: 0.0005 Lux, Color: 0.005 Lux, 45FPS (DS-2CD4035FWD), waiting to hear back from some dealers when they will have them.

    Which NVR?

    My advice would be to return the cameras and get a Hikvision system you will be much happier in the end. You can get a good 3mp for about £55 and a 16ch NVR (7816) for about £120.

    New Home - Please advise on camera/NVR selection for a POE Newbie

    "One thing that was a bit annoying is it was a bit tricky to mount on my vinyl siding because once screwed down tight there was not enough room to properly attach the little plastic ring that hides the base of the camera. Not really a big deal, but bullet cameras are generally easier to mount."...

    hikvision 7616NI nvr reboot every 20 minutes

    I had a similar problem, not sure if it the same as yours but may be worth looking into. My 7816 started re-booting every 10-30 min, I notice it was doing it after a recording, not all recordings just at random times. I then notice that my hard drive was full, overwrite is enabled and it was...

    PTZ DS-2CD8313PF in IR239

    Try looking under "serial settings" "RS485" set it to Pelco-D or P, Baud Rate:9600, try differant Ch #'s if it has the option. If that does not work try other settings in that menu till it starts moving.
