    Hikvision 2432 as a Nursery/Baby Cam

    I'm actually using an older camera I had lying around to watch my 9 month old son. It's 720p, but has IR and audio. We've found the audio to be invaluable. I mounted it non-permanently to the curtain rod and it's worked really well actually. The angle is perfect for seeing straight into the...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    One has a black face, the other a white face.

    True, they are somewhat disposable at the price they're selling them for. You pay less than $100 for a camera, toss it when it's broken, and buy a new one.

    Good source to buy IP items at

    Am I the only one really excited out milkisbad's pricing? The 4MP cameras look awesome in the new catalog.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I from AliExpress

    Found it... Unplug the POE cable, press the reset button, plug the POE cable back in and hold the button for 10 seconds.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I from AliExpress

    I had exactly the same issue with mine mate. The powering on, cycling, power off, cycling back on, etc. Only a true hard reboot solved the issue, and it's been working great ever since. Not sure what the procedure was again, but I found it in this forum. It's a few steps one needs to take to...

    Newb system help.

    Unless you bought one from the shadiest of sellers, they will not be knockoffs but they might come in a regular brown box. I'd get a decent SD card though.

    Not exactly. If you buy a Samsung TV in China, and bring it back to the US, will Samsung USA warranty that TV? Don't think so.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I swear the camera was super sharp when I set it up inside my office first. It's like it lost some sharpness when I mounted it in the garage. I cannot figure it out. But you can tell a difference in sharpness between the two captures I posted, right? Nothing changed settings wise, but it's...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I took a look at a capture from today, but this time with the garage door open. See how it's improved? Does this camera just not like low light?

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I have not, and I doubt I'll mess with. Take a look at the below capture. Are my expectations too high?

    Settings for the night

    Obviously make sure the nightvision is on, and make sure the foam ring is tight with the dome itself. Otherwise you'll get IR bleed. I have found that WDR at night make the image WORSE for me, so I've actually turned it off. Imagine quality on the DS-2CD2132F-IWS is not very good, so I'm just...

    It's like gambling with a grey import camera from Canon. You roll the dice up front, but it can save you some money. My first gray market Hikvision works perfect. The second one though, I would have sent it back if I had bought it from an authorized dealer since I'm not happy with the image...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    Still not happy with this thing. Will probably sell it, and get the new 4MP turret instead. Image quality is worse than my old system, and faces are not even recognizable half the time. Maybe I got a dud that wasn't calibrated right from the factory.

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    He already sent me their latest catalog with pricing, and I'm going back and forth with him on the new 4MP cameras and when they'll be out!

    Drunk guy vandalizes Porsche using a rock...

    I don't. But apparently the owner of the Porsche was a well known person, so I bet they're spreading these images around everywhere to capture the dick who did this.

    Where is everyone buying their 4MP cameras from?

    Newb system help.

    Yeah, that NVR will work and so will the camera. However, and I might be the only one with this issue, but the quality is razor sharp up close but any that's more than 9 or 10 feet away is not sharp. For that reason, I won't be buying one again. Probably replace is with a turret.

    4MP Hikvision or Dahua cameras

    Curious also, including what pricing will be compared to the current 3MP cameras.

    Aliexpress sellers not allowed to sell hikvision any more??

    This is incredibly annoying, as I've invested in two cameras now and was about to pull the trigger on a few more.

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    Glad I found this thread as I was wondering the same thing. Was wanting to purchase some more cameras, but CCTV Camera China is not showing anything for sale now.

    This is exactly what I leave a old, broken laptop lying around. It's my hope they'll take that, not knowing it's useless.

    What a loser. I hope he personally apologizes, and that he has to cough up for fixing your paint. You don't mess with another man's car!
