Luckily for me, powering two devices is not an issue for this particular camera set up, since I can run the poe injector and tplink from the area where the power sockets are, and have the camera on the other end of the cat5 cable where it's mounted. All indoors :D The challenge crossing my mind...

These tplinks are great, already ordered and got it set up / working. Now I just need a way to split the POE input so that I can power the camera and tplink at the same time! :D

Hi All, As the title suggests, I'm looking for an equivalent camera to the 2CD2483G2 (Cube camera) but with the WiFi option also. I used to use the old 3.2mp version, which worked well besides the lower resolution, however the 8mp version seems hard to come by and does not appear to have the...

200 bucks? Seems a little pricey - may as well stick with the 6mp for about 60 bucks. What happened to the model, did Hikvision discontinue it?

Can't seem to find this any more - discontinued??

Hi, Thanks for the reply but that wouldn't help as the app would still register the notifications in the messages area, hence I'd have to sift through loads of them every day to ensure no-one entered the room when I wasn't there. Is there really no simple way to do this? Very surprised if so

Hi All, I've been researching into this and can't find a huge amount of info. I have a DS-2CD2432F-IW which I use to record all the time but send alerts to my phone via the hik-connect app if the PIR alarm is activated (which works really well I might add). This camera is in my room which I'm...

I'm gonna guess the focal length is between 600-800mm? Cool shot with the moons orbit visible

People are quoting 8mp cameras here. I was under the (possibly incorrect) impression, 12mp was 4k?

So I went and ordered a 4mm DS-2CD2385FWD-I turret. It arrived the other day and I initially set it up pointing out of a window to test / compare (which admittedly isn't the best test). I'm comparing against my 2CD-2032-I's (6mm) which are externally mounted, 1 is directly above the window I'm...

Just checked those model numbers for you and they are normal size domes instead of the mini domes in your original post. Good luck with the sale, someone could pick up an excellent deal here if they live in the states :)

To be honest if they sold all the mini bullets / mini domes / mini turrets with the option of black housing it would make my life much easier without having to keep spraying them black!! I've had no issues with paint coming off or cameras overheating etc, it just takes ages to spray them properly.

Thanks for the replies guys. Why do I want 8mp? Well I guess why would I want any less, the area around our property is pretty well lit from street lighting so I doubt the darkfighter style cams will offer any benefit. I'm from the UK and I spoke to local authorities about residential CCTV and...

Hi, Wasn't too sure where to post this topic so hope in here is the best. The spec of these two cameras seems pretty much the same apart from the hik can do 20fps @ 8mp whereas the Dahua can only do 15. The other big difference I can see is that the dahua has a built in mic where the hik...

According to the sticker on the box (I don't have the one normally stuck to the camera any more) the original base firmware was V5.2.9_15309. The seller must have flashed the hacked V5.2.5 over the top of it to get the English menus etc. The feature I'm actually after is the EZVIZ cloud but I've...

Cheers for the info, I'll have a read shortly. I have 6 other 2cd2032's I purchased a few years back which were originally Chinese and I implemented some kind of permanent fix to change the region which means I can update those as normal with the EU firmware so hopefully the link you've quoted...

Seems like I spoke too soon. Took about 20 mins but the camera eventually came back on after trying a fw version from a topic on here

Hi, Hoping someone can help me. I have 2 x DS-2CD2032F-I which were originally running firmware V5.2.5 build 141201. Purchased them 2 years ago from Aliexpress (Chinese hacked to english) and have been running fine since. The other day I had an urgent reason (security related) to update the...

It is, I've just tested it with an external 940nm LED lamp

Hi All, The IR LED in my DS-2cd2432F-IW appears to have failed and I'm looking to replace it with a 940nm one. However, when checking the voltage across the two terminals with my multi meter its showing as 5v? Most IR LEDs I can see only run at 1.5-1.6V. Did Hikvision use a special LED or am I...

Shows as H265 on the link you sent. Impressive!

http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ip-camera/ip-bullet/cmip8242wb.html Quite like those, saves me spraying my Hikvisions Black!! Are these not Hikvisions then and running different firmware?

<Waits for price to come down more> :)

Very interesting. Can't wait to see reviews on the 2cd2042-I :)

This worrys me somewhat that a camera looking over my property watching my family etc. could potentially be sending information (not sure what information?) back to the manufacturer...

9-12 months ago since I painted. I left them plugged in indoors for about 16 hours with the IR on to help the paint dry and they didn't feel any warmer than usual. Sometimes get direct sunlight towards the end of the day when the sun gets a little lower as they are mounted under the eaves. We're...

I've spray painted all of mine black and never had any issues. Obviously tape over the IR cover and lens first, then just spray the whole thing. They don't match our cladding if we leave them white so its not so much so that you cant see them but more so they fit in with the theme of the...
