If the smart tracking works, and it zooms in and gets more details to complement a fixed wide angle, then no, unless I want to blanket my entire house with dozens of cameras such that I have wide and close up coverage everywhere. I've got 7 fixed cams already, and I still have some areas with...

In a crowd or multiple people/moving objects scenario, I would agree completely. In a single intruder, or a couple of intruders together scenario, I would expect it to work from okay to pretty well. I had a kid steal one of my kid's bikes right out of my garage about a month ago, and the fact...

Yeah, I was about to add that my large is relative to my other domes, and that there are other even larger domes. So you've tested numerous "smart tracking" models and none of them are all that smart? Sometimes this one will lock on and follow you accurately for quite a ways, back and forth...

This is not mini at all. It is a large "speed dome" beast. Check out the dimensions in the attached data sheet. It also has "smart tracking", which unfortunately is hit and miss. This is one of the reasons I bought it, but I'm about to return it to B&H if I still can based on the erratic...

The DS-2CD2785FWD-IZS is fixed, so it won't need the extra power for the PT. It does have zoom, of course. You can use a passive PoE splitter like this to avoid a separate 12V run...

As someone mentioned in the YouTube comments, the default max for the IR is 30%. Things get much brighter at 100%, but the odd side placement of 2 of the IR LEDs does mean that this camera will not be good for night distance viewing, even if it didn't have video freezing problems and defocus...

Have you enabled "Smart Events" and then played back your recordings to look for problems? I have one of these and it's going back to Provantage. After getting zero useful information from Hikvision USA's technical support, and in fact getting the ridiculous reply that essentially their...

Ummm, I'm referring to the fact that Dahua, for example, spells out the exposure time and 30 IRE in their light specs, where Hikvsion does not list these 2 items. I'm not measuring anything on IP cameras other than doing some visual Hik to Hik model comparisons. I don't own any Dahuas, so I...

This seems like a good place to ask the staff if they know what exposure time Hik uses to generate their color light lux spec. Also, 30 IRE? I would hope Hik has been consistent in their cameras, at least over the past few years with the new lower light performance, but no way to compare...

Hikvision naming conventions counter intuitive? Surely not. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hmmm, so does this answer my question in the other thread? Hikvision has now locked things down such that firmware tweaks are not possible? Not even changing an OEM version camera so it can be upgraded with branded firmware? Not sure I need this anytime soon, as the OEM seller I bought from...

Forgive me if this is addressed somewhere in this thread and I didn't see it in the two dozen or some comments I read, but does this tool allow for tweaking the firmware other than language/region issues? Such as the group Magic Lantern and their tweaking of Canon DSLR firmware to enable...
