What is the specification of the 12V power connector plug on the Hikvision cameras? I can't find it anywhere on the spec sheet. I understand that power adapters can have many different plug geometries.

Hi, I am well aware of the Chinese vs. Western Hikvision cameras. I don't want to start another debate about this or the value proposition of buying supported vs. unsupported models in general. However, the Western Hikvision cameras are advertised using various terms. My question is whether the...

Thanks. However, I'm still confused: DS-2CD2142FWD-IS on the Hikvision U.S. website has "0.028 lux @ (ƒ/2.0, AGC on)" (DS-2CD2142FWD-IS(B)-Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd.), while DS-2CD2142FWD-IS on the Hikvision Europe website has "0.01Lux @ (F1.2, AGC ON)" (Hikvision Europe)...

I realize that this thread is old. Nevertheless, can someone please explain why the lux specification is meaningless, and what is the relevance of the f-value?

Thanks for pointing that out. It is my understanding that "turret" style cameras are superior in almost all respects. However, it is also my understanding that for a halfway workable, automated human motion detection without plenty of false positives, an external PIR (passive infrared sensor) is...

I am deliberating which of those to buy. I compared the spec sheets and din't see any noteworthy differences except the slightly smaller size of the "mini" (111 mm × 82 mm vs. 99.3×96.7×52.8 mm) and minimum illumination (0.028 lux vs. 0.01 lux). I am wondering if I missed something? I am...

The data sheet for Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I says: "Power Consumption: Maximum 5.5 W (maximum 7.5 W with IR cut filter on)". I am not concerned about the cost of the additional 2W, but nevertheless I am trying to understand why the IR cut filter needs more power. I would have assumed that, if...
