    Amazon/hikvision

    Why not buy from Aliexpress? I've had good luck so far. Then again, I had good luck with Amazon too. I ordered through Zoneway.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I'm actually still surprised, considering it's a 2.8mm lens, that one cannot adjust the focus on these. I took the dome off and the results were the same image-quality wise, making me think it's the focus of the lens rather than the dome. Everything is razor sharp when objects are decently...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I blocked it off, and with the garage door open it definitely makes a difference for everything directly around those windows. So that works, thanks! Not perfect, but a definite improvement. The only problem now is that I cannot leave the windows blacked out as my cameras will be in IR mode...

    hikvision setup problem- no image

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    You're right, but I wanted to eliminate it. Just swapped the 25 foot cat6e with a 100 foot cat5e and the same image quality. It has to be about the way the objects are positioned in the garage. Either way, it's really bothering me...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I took the dome off, and have exactly the same results. I feel like it worked perfectly when I first configured it in my office, and then when I was initially installing it in the garage. But something happened along the way between then and the final install that degraded the quality. I...

    Questions about the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I

    Just watched your video. Quality seems fantastic, and indeed better than the 2132 I have. Now you have me tempted on buying one, although I still prefer the way the 2132 looks. Bit more stealth.

    If I'm using something like Sighthound, would I still need an SD card in the camera?

    Re: If I'm using something like Sighthound, would I still need an SD card in the came Not a problem. It's definitely a fun hobby, and I'm having fun as I'm learning about all this new technology.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I was afraid for that answer. This is a 2.8mm lens, and the objects furthest away are less sharp than objects closer by, which are brutally sharp. I put my face in front of the camera yesterday when I was cleaning the dome and you should see every single strand of hair on my hand individually...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    Here is a crop of what I'm referring to... The helmets don't look sharp and there a substantial amount of noise on my red cabinet.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    So I took off the dome, and still not as sharp as I want it to be. Could it be that I've gotten spoiled by the quality of the DS-2CD2032 and that I'm expecting too much from the DS-2CD2132F-IS?

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    Let me do a bit more research first. I was looking at footage from when I first installed it, and everything looked MUCH sharper throughout the entire picture. Not sure what happened between then and now, but perhaps the dome cover is the culprit.

    Looking for a cheap wifi camera

    I think the Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW would fit the bill. It has a MicroSD slot (up to 64GB), is built for indoor use and has WiFi. Are you interested in watching the camera live, or looking at past recordings? I think (but don't quote me) you can log on to the camera itself and access the...

    Re: If I'm using something like Sighthound, would I still need an SD card in the came The Sighthound software is top notch when it comes to detecting motion. I like the fact that it's intelligent enough to tell me if it's a human being, for example, and I can be warned if a human has entered...

    PoE switch/smart switch

    I know I am replying to my own comment, but I had this thing installed in less than one minute. Works great. I put a thermometer next to it to monitor the temperature since it's in the garage.

    What style drywall anchors are best?

    So I bought these, and ended up not using them because they were slightly overkill. But I just could not for the life of me figure out how to screw the screw into the anchor that does into the drywall.
