    Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME - New video doorbell

    Is it still not possible to use the 8003 without an indoor station? I’m looking for an outdoor station that works with hik-connect app without the indoor station, I have no use for it..

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    Yes the 8MP is a bullet camera, I did not yet try the 4MP turret one (or 4MP bullet one for that matter) so not sure what the difference is but I would assume that the full colour day/night image is the same since specs give the same lux but they do use a different sensor so maybe..

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    I'm not sure what's wrong but I've tested a G2 colorvu (8MP) at a site where there was no lighting, nothing, pointed away from any street, only partial moon lighting and the picture was day like, it was crazy. Offcourse standard 1/12 but I've set it to 1/25 and still a daytime full color image...

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    You can enable WDR to get more clarity in the shadow areas. You say you have less detail, I think you have more detail now, look at the floor tiles, much more detail besides the 2335 which has a lot of noise in the picture, loosing detail.

    Wall mounted fish eye - WHY???

    Collateral damage, if you mount it on the ceiling you won't see people's faces. But I've never sold a fish eye before, just put more camera's :p

    Hikvision DS-2CD2365G1-I camera and stock firmware

    Lower manufacturing cost. They have a fabrication process that includes the 5.6.2 firmware, if they want to add another firmware to that process, the process itself needs a change which results in change management, testing, etc... Why do all of that when the customer can just upgrade the...

    Stuck with DLink cameras and they are expensive

    No that's for professional installers who want to manage the CCTV systems of their customers. The desktop software is iVMS4200 and the smartphone app is Hik-Connect. All free and work very well. Where do you want to record to?

    Stuck with DLink cameras and they are expensive

    What? Why? Hikvision for example has free to use software for PC & smartphone.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Mine, from Belgium, was also on the 5.5.154 firmware when delivered, upgraded tot 5.5.160 to have the LED on motion feature. Disable slow shutter -> configuration -> image -> Exposure Settings -> default is 1/12 and that's really slow, gives a very bright picture at night but moving objects...

    Smart events, Intrusion Detection, Region Entrance Detection or Motion Detection, what to choose?

    Your camera has acusense technology built in so the 'standard' motion detection works pretty well, I just use motion detection and set it to 'human' and get a 95% accurate result and almost no false positives.

    DS-2CD2347G2-L(U)

    Just use the 5.5.160 Hikvision firmware from their website: DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) | ColorVu Series | Network Cameras | Hikvision | Hikvision It should add the white light alarm function and you set the time duration under event -> linkage method, not under image settings.

    No, like you I also have no idea what the 'C' variant is, I will contact Hikvision for that.

    I still have 3 in the box waiting for installation, maybe I try that G5 firmware on one of them soon.

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    I wanted to post this but did not yet find the time to dig deeper but here it goes: Yes the 5.5.160 G3 firmware has been taking down from the portal, no idea why but the G5 foldername got updated with "2xx7G2" so it appears we will be using the G5 firmware as of now? If you look at the release...

    Mount Hikvision camera without turret?

    The 'bowl' of the turret can be separated from the mount, so if you can find a way to position the 'bowl' itself, it's possible. See ->

    Multiple Remote Locations, Cameras and BlueIris

    I would go for a more know brand, for example the TP-LINK TL-R600VPN router, in Belgium for around 60€.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    That picture is maybe too bright, I would not use the 'low illumination' mode for moving objects. The brighter the picture, the more blur, noise, etc.. you will introduce. I think that's what everyone is doing at the moment with these cam's, finding the balance between a clear picture and a...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Is it also possible to view the live exposure time? The exposure time we set in the web GUI is the minimum exposure time I've learned, if the light permits, he will use a better exposure time but it would be interesting to see when and if he does that.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Too bad wittaj is dragging the mood down, you were very happy with it until he starts ranting on it despite the fact he doesn't have this model or even tested it and you're just following him. There is no 'gain' slider in the web interface but the 'brightness' slider has the same effect, try...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Or get the 4MP version of the ColorVu G2, the 2047g2, they have a smaller DOF, I think 7.5m for the 6mm, in comparison to the 13m of the 8MP 6mm.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Wittaj, please take the DOF into account. The 6mm version of this 8MP ColorVu G2 has a DOF of 13m, meaning that he should install the camera 13m away from the side walk, looks like that’s not possible so if he would have installed the 6mm version instead of the 4mm, people walking by would be...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Haha yes main stream is the way to go :) And for your information, mine also had only the plasic protector over the led's and around the lens, not on the lens. But that your light is constantly on is not normal, start from the beginning.. Disable motion detection or disable the linkage method...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    True, I followed the introduction of the G2 by Hikvision and one of the first things they said when they came to the topic of the white light was 'we moved that hard to find almost hidden feature to a more logical place' ;)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes I've had no problems connecting it to a Hikvision NVR, plug & play. What concerns the web interface, I've never used a Dahua camera so cannot comment on that, when I started with camera's I had to choose 1 brand, Dahua or Hikvision, both are about the same if you look at price, quality...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    No it's completely different from the G1 version, it moved to 'image' and 'event' in the G2. In the web interface of the camera -> configuration -> event -> motion detection -> arming schedule. The blue bars is the active schedule, so for example in my case, see attachment. PS: Do you use the...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    You probably have supplement light mode on in the image settings (day/night switch) so when it gets dark and there is not enough light to work with your minimum exposure time he uses the LED's so they are always on. Disable the supplement light mode and try again.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Like others said, there is no 'one perfect setting', everything depends on the situation, especially how much light there is available. Standard exposure time is 1/12 for the ColorVu G2 but I believe that is a minimum setting, if the light allows, the camera will pick a higher exposure time...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Thanks for the effort Parley! 18 feet does look unsharp and 24 feet is better but still not 100% sharp but giving Hikvision defines the DOF for the 6mm at 43 feet ! that's a good result if the sharpness at 50% of that is reasonable.
