    Link to Xinray Upgradeable and English Hikvision equipment page: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/vjMNnUz Be very careful if you are looking elsewhere on Aliexpress as there are lots of Chinese cameras (can also be know as multi language) that have modified firmware. With a China region...

    Is 2MP Hik better than 3MP at night? Really?

    My text is a fractural statement. You clearly omitted to read the word "my" from the text. Changing the the whole interpretation.

    Is 2MP Hik better than 3MP at night? Really?

    Fenderman I have not made any misleading or false statments in any way. I think you could say that we have a difference of opinion. The video that you posted is not (nothing like) the performance I see from my 2385. Hikvision and other owners of the 2385 would be able to confirm this. The...

    hikvision 3mp vs 4mp

    My 4MP (DS-2CD2142F-IS) (1/2.8" sensor) has a better picture day or night than my 3MP (DS-2CD2132F-IS) (1/3.0" sensor). Its not just the image sensor size in isolation that influences the picture quality but a combination of the technology that goes into the camera. My DS-2CD2385FWD-I (1/2.5"...

    Placement suggestion for side of house

    Is possible too get a aerial picture of the property and mark on it the locations of the pictures taken with direction of shot? The sides of the house should be ok with a 4mm. The long thin walkway area (img4380) I would look at a 6 or an 8mm maybe. But this would depend on the mounting...

    Advice : camera for driveway & Garden

    You will get a better picture (more detail) from the 4mm lens with no fish eye effect that you can sometimes see with a 2.8mm lens. The night time performance will also be better because you will have a higher concentration of IR light in a smaller area. Your front yard is constrained by three...

    Advice : camera for driveway & Garden

    Thanks for the photos. Front yard/ Garage, 1 x DS-2CD2385FWD-I with 4mm lens mounted at point 1 Back yard, 1 x DS-2CD2385FWD-I with 4mm lens mounted on the left hand corner or centre of house wall. 2385 is a latest model and will give a better image than the 2355 night or day.

    Advice : camera for driveway & Garden

    I would install two of the 2385 models. What size are the areas? Because the 4, 6, 8 or 12mm lens could be the better options. It is very easy to order the wrong lens and find you end up with a poorly framed picture. Measuring the area is a good investment in time. Another option could be...

    Hik 8mp Mini Bullet

    Any model in the Hikvision range with a "F" in the model number denotes it has on board storage. A 4mm lens would be a better solution for that mounting point. A 4mm Hik Turret (DS-2CD2385FWD-I) would go really nicely on the front of that garage. You would be better using "Motion" or "Line...

    HikVision or dahua for a retail store

    The Hikvision solution is using analogue cameras. Can you provide model numbers of the Dahur solution? The solution presented will be outdated before it is installed. I would be looking at a IP based solution. Either Dahur or Hikvision. Hikvision online supplier...

    Conficker

    Good advise from Tangent The one thing I would add is do a back up of your personal files to a external hard drive before commencing the upgrade. Windows 10 is way better than 8.1

    NVR for a small school setup

    Dome cameras with a lens smaller than 4mm can be prone to IR light bleed. Turret, Box or Bullet style cameras are not. Turrets seem to be not as prone to bugs/spiders setting up home in or around the camera. Rather than just looking at the ports on the NVR you also need to look at the...

    NVR for a small school setup

    I would look at replacing the bullet cameras with turret style cameras. Much better solution. Some questions: 1) What make & model camera's do you currently have? are planning? 2) What level of expansion do you require (Total number of cameras)? 3) How long do you need to retain the...

    Some questions: Is it possible to take a photo from where you are thinking of mounting the camera, and also one looking back towards the house? Same for the garden area. What is the street lighting like? Can you get cabling to the camera mounting points. What are the garden dimensions? An aerial...
