    Blue Iris to control DS-2DF8436IX-AEL smart tracking

    I own a pair of smaller Hik PTZ and have just ditched my Hik NVR in favour of Blue Iris last week. Previously, I was operating my cameras like you; set up intrusion detection zones and trigger smart tracking when an intrusion was detected. It worked in ideal conditions but also provided an...

    Enabling camera level motion detect (and thus smart tracking) from an AI confirmed object match

    Is this possible? I have 2 PTZ cameras out front and since installation they have operated primarily based on smart event > intrusion > smart tracking. I've enjoyed this performance but it is not without flaws... I have since moved to the BI world and simply love the AI filtered events, but...

    DS-2DE7230IW-AE - For $200.00?

    It's an $800 camera for $200. I'd find a way to make it fit. H.264 won't impact disk space too much if it's just one 2MP camera. Please note though that LPR may not be possible 24/7. From my research it requires dedicated LPR cams.

    Hikvision NVR vs Blue Iris

    Hello all. I'll start with my problems; My NVR (7608NI-E2) displays event tags on playback when directly operating the NVR. I cannot see event tags when playback is through any other method; Phone with iVMS-4500 or PC with iVMS-4200 or PC through web interface. My NVR supports only H264+ and...

    DS-2DE4A425IW-DE

    Correct. Just make sure your PoE switch is up to the task: 12VDC & PoE+ (802.3 at, class4) This is a high zoom camera. I have the 20x version and this is the 25x. I would suggest that you buy this camera for viewing from 20m-60m camera to target area. If the distance between your mounting...

    Mini outdoor PTZ : DS-2DE4A220IW-DE

    Can anyone please help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with these series of cameras? I don't want to start a new thread for it when this one is just fine :) I have set my cameras up to record 24/7 and to log events by way of intrusion detection set to on. This also triggers smart tracking...

    Controlling when Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW PTZ Camera runs its Pan / Tilt / Zoom Test

    Just in case you are curious - I have a PoE .af switch and run two of these series of cameras (204 and 220). I was aware of the requirements for .at when I purchased, but always planned to run them in day mode with no IR. Just make sure you don't have so many cameras that you are exceeding the...

    New ColorVu cameras

    I thought Colorvu used Darkfighter lenses/tech? What model Darkfighter are you considering? I use my Darkfighter DS-2DE4A204 in 'day mode' for what is essentially colorvu style images at night.

    'Event' logging with NVR

    I have two PTZ cameras that record 24/7, 2DE4A220 and 2DE4A204. I want them to record 24/7 (as they currently do) but I also want to be able to playback only 'events' via the NVR interface. I just can't get this to work the way I want. Do I have to set recording to event only? TIA

    Mini outdoor PTZ : DS-2DE4A220IW-DE

    If I had my time again, I would use both 204 cameras. 220 is more appropriate for industrial / rural setting, with longer distances involved.

    Mini outdoor PTZ : DS-2DE4A220IW-DE

    Yeah. I bought the 20x back in the day for $487 USD from Amandacams eBay. It's amazing, but the focal length was too narrow for my scene. So I'm stepping it back some distance and going with the 4x up front, which has 90 degree view.

    Here's how to read Hikvision serial numbers

    Thanks for the informative post. Looking at my NVR, it should be RR code and thus, up-gradable? I have never been game to try... and the software version is quite old. Should I do a sequential upgrade? what's the best method? Over USB?

    Holy crap that camera is huge and expensive! I personally wont go above the size of 2DE4A for home use. Even this camera is quite dominant in a neighborhood setting.
