    Anybody try the new Hikvision ColorVu 8MP ?

    The 2347 only has a manual iris option for where you set what you want your exposure to be. Then there is gain and in the video option there is clear<->smooth slider which I’m not sure what this actually does. the 2387 says fixed in exposure setting and again you have to set what you want the...

    Anybody try the new Hikvision ColorVu 8MP ?

    before I installed the 1/1.2 I had it side by side with a 5442 varifocal in my basement on a bench. Now I don’t claim to be a camera tester by any means but I was able to distinguish more color and overall detail with the 8mp hik than the 5442 in complete darkness. I have 5442’s all around and...

    Anybody try the new Hikvision ColorVu 8MP ?

    I replaced the 4mp colorvu on my front porch with the DS-2CD2387G2-LU. Not sure what was wrong with the 4mp but no matter what I did the picture looked grainy. Also curious as to why dahua and hik are shying away from IR with 1/1.2 lens, If my lights were to go out for some reason I'd like my...

    Cameras flipping between day/night

    So I was unable to get the profile my IPC-T5241TM-AS (2231 is in different location) to change with the utility. Also when I go into the camera and try and change the sensitivity those options are greyed out and not able to be changed? Firmware: V2.680.0000000.5.R, Build Date: 2019-04-04

    Cameras flipping between day/night

    I tried that before but since I'm not all that computer savvy I didn't think it worked. I just tried it again and when I was hitting simulate sunset I was expecting the camera to go into IR mode. It wasn't until I actually went into the cameras profile I could see it switching between...

    Cameras flipping between day/night

    I've been playing around with setting up day/night profiles in the dahua setting but apparently 2 of my cameras are having an issue. The issue is just before sundown they flip flop every few seconds between day and night. I've gone in and manually rebooted the cameras and that seemed to work...

    Camera with IR emitter, triggers at night in rain

    Just installed ir emitters in 2 different locations and rain and bug false alarms are almost non existent, won't know about snow till next winter.

    Multiple camera low light test

    Sorry I'll try my best to explain In your video half of the frame is illuminated by the full moon is it? I was wondering if because there is a good amount of light on the right side of the frame does this have any effect on the cameras ability to focus or clarity of the subject on dark side...

    Multiple camera low light test

    Does the defined separation of a pronounce supplemental light effect the sensors abilities to perform in the low light situation or is there a setting that can overcome this?

    Review-Loryta OEM 4MP IPC-T2347G-LU ColorVu Fixed Turret Network 4mm lens & Junction Box

    As I seem to have some extra time on my hands I decided to do a side by side comparison between this camera and the 5442. I have a good amount of supplemental light at night and with the default settings I've definitely noticed some differences in the color and slight differences in picture day...

    New home owner - do I have options?

    I think you might have drilled into your roof. Should have drilled towards the house where I marked in green When you drill try matching the angle of the roof with the pilot bit. you can also pull a measurement off the top of that window/door and see if it jives inside the house

    Next-door child 10 seconds from getting run over by other neighbor

    Nice capture. Sad part is even if he had killed or severely injured the child he probably would have gotten maybe a few years behind bars. It sickens me to personally know and have come across people who have killed people for being negligent behind the wheel only to get 3-5 years. Never...

    Bullet camera spider web issues.

    I didn’t know spiders were really an issue with bullets till I came here. I’ve had them for 2 years and only had the occasional spider repel in front of camera. I’m curious as to how well the turrets hold up against nesting wasps?
