You can use an IP HDMI extender. https://www.vanco1.com/product/evo-ip-ez-transmitter-receiver/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Indoor cameras don't handle humidity, condensation, dust etc. Why would you use one outside? Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Sure, but why? Why just add his NVR to your Hik-Connect or iVMS-4200. He can share his device via email from HikConnect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree 100% I also don’t like that the Hik marketing makes it very confusing to determine which cameras are truly meant for low light.(unless you scour the specs) They have branded a few cameras as dark fighter that have no business being called that! They also overuse EXIR which barely makes...

I own them both. The Hik is newer than the Dahua, that’s why it’s cheaper. I am sure when the newer Dahua comes out, it’ll be better. The Dahua is only slightly better in low light. Let me emphasize that, slightly. With slow shutter enabled, the Hik is better overall, but above 4x slow...

The hikvision 4mp PTZ is cheaper than the Dahua 2mp. 4x zoom vs 3x etc. That’s why I bought two! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They do spec them in millimetres, you just have to remember the US is still stuck in imperial system dark ages. Which is funny because they seem to be ok with millimetres for lens sizes! This has the metric sizes if it helps. Image sensor format - Wikipedia Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can you link one of these cameras? I can’t seem to find them. Just the 1/2.7-1/2.8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are very similar. The Dahua is literally a hair better. If you turn on the slow shutter on the Hik, it gets way better, but slight ghosting above 4x. I like my Dahua , but the Hik is better overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've used the Vanco extenders for years. Very few failures. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

Every conductor should be untwisted and straightened. If you've done it correctly, every conductor should be straight and stay in place when you let go. Cut off anything more than 3/4 to 1 inch and the connector will slide on with zero effort. Don't put anything on the end. You don't need it...

For the same price, I’d go with the Hik. (Ds-2cde2a404iw-de3 Better lens, no dome distortion. 4mp vs 2mp. 4x vs 3x The Dahua is a hair better in low light. Image overall is better on the Hik Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Less wall, clean the dome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 2x of these myself. I also have 1x Dahua 1A203TNI. The biggest and most noticeable difference is that the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 has significantly less dome distortion. The Dahua gets very blurry at the edges. The Hik does have a much nicer zoom too. It’s quicker and the digital zoom looks...

Sadly, I need to display a mix of TV-I and IP cams. They use Milestone as a VMS and an encoder handles the TV-I cams. Streams from both device types need to be on the monitor. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s Monitor to display selected cams. No more than 16. Need a device that is not pc based and will resume after power failure etc. Was using a Hik, dahua and Vivok decoder but they won’t do rtsp or multi-channel onvif. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can extend the range of Cat5 quite easily. Lots of products like : StarTech 110VDSLEXT 10/100 VDSL Ethernet Extender Kit over Single Pair Wire – 1km - Retail - Newegg.com eX-1S110-RJ Ethernet Extender | Buy in Canada Ethernet Extender, POE Powered Ethernet Extension, Gigabit Ethernet...

I am having a hell of a time finding a decoder that can decode RTSP streams or multi-channel ONVIF devices. Any suggestions would be helpful! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, you can set it up. You’ll need to go figure the NVR and iVMS. Are you using Hik-Connect login w/ iVMS or a local connection? This should help: https://www.hikvision.com/ueditor/net/upload/2017-03-10/ec9c4788-4954-440a-8033-ddd393089014.pdf Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

+1 on P2P wireless bridge Hardwire cams always, interconnect with bridge. I have linked multiple buildings together using P2P when trenching is not an option and directional boring is cost-prohibitive. I have used some Ubiquiti stuff recently and was pleasantly surprised. Sent from my iPad...

Just use a height strip camera, that's what they are made for Sent from my Nokia 8.1 using Tapatalk

Edited, didn’t realize how craptastic that cam was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have had one instance where the camera face detection worked well, and only one. Hikvision height strip camera. Within 8-10 feet it is impressive. Outside of that range, not so much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love seeing stuff like that. Post more when you get them. I am sure there are other guys in here who would benefit from your pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
