I have looked at many camera suppliers, even ones I've seen suggested here. I think I found the thread, just request a catalog? or ???

I take it you are referring to DS-2CD2722FWD-IZS, I'm not finding it at that price. I have found the DS-2CD2732F-I(S) for around that price (supposedly). I keep finding where people are showing a retail US box in the picture, but hearing people are receiving brown box Chinese when they get them...

I've used varifocal cameras before, I agree they are a pain to get focused at first, but once you do they are fine.

Is there a difference in construction in dome cameras like DS-2CD2732F-I, there doesn't seem to be any real difference? There is quite a bit of difference in this camera for pricing.

Is there any real value to the huge mark up for the genuine USA version of Hikvision cameras, or are Chinese versions fine to use. Is it really worthwhile to update firmware after installation, and is it easy enough on a bulk scale to do with an out of region camera?

Can someone clear up the differences between Hikvision NVRs? Also, should I stick to a US model (being that I am in the US), or other models work just fine too? Here are some models below, any help in clearing things up would be great, only can find very minor differences in specs...

If we are talking about pulling Cat6 vs straight up RG59, they are very similar in size. Looking at some specifications they are both roughly .24 inches. The little bulkier part of my statement was if you use siamese cable for analog, it's pretty much like pulling 2 cables at once. And yes...

I understand that, I thought the question was rhetorical. However the respondent went off on another tangent, I was merely trying to make the see the obvious.

Why is cabling a bigger pain in the ass with analog? Pulling cable is pulling cable. Most analog systems now a days are done with Cat5 and baluns at either end. I guess if you are still pulling RG59 siamese cable, it is a little bulkier, but I wouldn't say it's much harder. As I said pulling...

It would be neat if you could go with a battery pack and solar panel.

Not my capture, but someone sent me this today. Hilarious.

I saw that too. Either no one is leaving feedback, or I smell a rat. Unfortunately, I lean towards the rat.

The GMC version looks to be the Trailblazer, slightly different. The Ascender is produced under the Isuzu logo, and the grille is an exact match (GMC grille is different) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_Ascender

Huh, that's weird, when I click on the link, it tells me this item is no longer available.

The grille does not look like Dodge Durango has that clipped corner on the passenger rear door window (#2), looking at pictures of Tahoe 2007 forward, it has that.

I like the smiley face on your shed. :)

Let us know what happens, I see the seller has removed them from being available now. Stolen, knock off, scam or legit. Let us know if and when you get them.

$7 less for the WD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236659&cm_re=western_digital_purple-_-22-236-659-_-Product

A little cheaper at Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G1S88601&cm_re=seagate_surveilllance-_-22-178-505-_-Product

Some tips for long runs: 1 - Your cameras will usually have a voltage range in which they will operate 2 - Make an adapter for your power cable end and check with a volt meter (making an adapter with the cable end you are using on the project will give you a good sense of connector resistance...

Hmm, makes me think about trying a WD drive for my next build, I've never really been a WD user over the years, but a lot of people like them now. I've heard a lot of premature failure stories about Seagate, but I've not experienced them very much myself. I used Seagate drives in the 80s, but...

Why can't you drill a metal cover, I've done it many times. Metal covers are more durable.

Have you been to Chicago? There are municipal cameras on just about every corner of the main streets.

Anyone have an opinion on which brand (or type) of hard drive is best for NVR in either standalone or PC format: Western Digital Purple series or Seagate Surveillance series? Or an enterprise drive perhaps? Something else?

Hi there, new to the site, and new to IP cameras. I have moderate experience with analog equipment, but now looking to make the move towards IP. Joined the forum, so I can hopefully learn more about IP cameras. Been doing a lot of reading online, and this looked like a good resource for...

I saw this on Hikvision's website, does ivms have a webserver now? ---------------------------What's new in iVMS-4200 v2.0-------------------------- Embedded Web Server: With the embedded web server, iVMS-4200 client can be accessed via the web browser. And it provides the functionalities of...
