Need help buying IP cam
If the budget is tight, stick with the Hikvision line. They have higher resolution that that PTZ, and they don't draw much power, about 4 W. http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/2340-Hikvision-2032-Power-Draw - discussion on solar and battery sizing Try to find them on Amazon and stay away...- CamFan

Need help buying IP cam
A camera might help you determine who vandalized your stuff after the incident, assuming face is not covered. It could be a deterrent. It won't prevent anything. At first you will be checking it, then as nothing happens you will be checking it less and less. And what can you do if you see...- CamFan

Wall Mount for Hikvision 2332 EXIR
This is what I ended up doing : http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/2697-Hik-bullet-Install-with-custom-mounting-plates/ Page 2 has a simple plate mount for the 2332. I recently created a dual 2332 plate, mounted it up today. -
Hik bullet Install with custom mounting plates
Update, I needed to mount a single turret, so I created this plate. Had 2 made on the aqua jet/water saw Then I tapped, countersunk the mounting holes and some sanding before paint. Finished mounted on the wall, after drilling stucco, attic crawling and wire fishing. Has anyone...- CamFan

Hik bullet Install with custom mounting plates
Possibly could design you one. Not sure if I'm planning on selling them, I would need to get big batches to get the price down or figure out a different material.- CamFan

Hikvision, focal length, angle of view and other lies
With the same lens, 4mm, you get a wider or narrower FOV depending if you use 3MP or 1080/720 on the resolution setting you use. Here is the chart showing the difference in angle for any focal length. -
Hikvision, focal length, angle of view and other lies
It's all marketing BS. That Dahua is likely using the same sensor as the Hiks. But this is likely very common in this industry. -
Hikvision, focal length, angle of view and other lies
Yes, it is correct. The sensor size is 2304 x 1536 pixels. You never see this many pixels at once. In 3MP mode, the active area of the sensor is 2048 x 1536. That is also the size of the image you see (video or still), in pixels. In 1080 mode, the active area of the sensor is 2304 x 1296... -
Hikvision, focal length, angle of view and other lies
PART II So next without moving the chart or camera, I took a series of stills from the 2.8mm camera at 3MP, 1080 and 720. Nevermind the out-of-focus image, I had to get close to the camera with my chart. I brought these into CAD to be able to scale them. Shown above, they are scaled to the... -
Hikvision, focal length, angle of view and other lies
In my prior post (http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?2697-Hik-bullet-Install-with-custom-mounting-plates), I pondered the published angle of view of the cameras and questioned if they were horizontal or diagonal angles provided. Turns out, the internet if full of wrong information. So with... -
Hik bullet Install with custom mounting plates
Thanks everyone. I think you could use 3D printed parts, I just used aluminum since its easy. If anyone wants the CAD models of the cameras, let me know. The Horizontal FOV is about 65 degrees (5.07mm sensor width, 3.38mm sensor height, 4mm focal length)...- CamFan

Hik bullet Install with custom mounting plates
I wanted to mount 2-3 bullets (DS-2CD2032-I) per plate, so I designed up some plates in 3D CAD and had them fabricated from 6061-T6. The design uses 4 x #10 flat head screws to mount and then you attach 2 cameras. I added the holes to support a 3rd camera in the middle, by drilling the middle...- CamFan

Cannot get Hikvision cameras to trigger record event on in-camera motion detect
Ok, solved it. I was on Device Pack 7.6. I downloaded the latest "Device Pack" v7.7, had to replace hardware with the cameras and I first used ONVIF which opened up a bunch of hardware alarm input options. Funny thing was the actual camera model # showed up on the "Device Driver" list. Once it...- CamFan

UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board
Looks like a 1.25mm connector, perhaps a Hirose DF13? -

Hikvision 2032 Power Draw
Ok, you are drawing .3A, but what voltage did you measure? 12.00V? The voltage at current measurement determines actual watts. So assuming 12V, you are pulling about 3.7W all day long. This is 90 watt-hours per day, or 7.5 amp-hour battery needed for 24hours. If it were me, I'd multiply that...- CamFan

Oh, yes. I never had luck with it, but I just saw this: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?1876-Possible-to-Disable-Built-In-IR-on-Hikvision-DS-2CD2032-I-3MP&highlight=disable I guess I missed the step to reboot or change day to night and back.- CamFan

Hikvision 2032 Power Draw
Well, I don't have a plot of the actual current load at bootup and idle. And these cameras don't store any snap-shots internally, they can send an email or upload to FTP. Look at the 2532. You can't disable night mode on the 2032, you would have to snip the power lines to the IRLED PCBA. -...- CamFan

25mm Lens for ds-2cd2032-i Mini-Bullet
Ok, finally got around to cracking open my 2032 to put the 25mm lens in there. I focused it, got a sharp image and found that I need a housing stretcher. I'm shy about 4mm. At this point, not sure what to do. I can put standoffs on the sensor PCB to mount it back from the front. Just need to... -
