May I ask where did you see the N51BI23 for 156? That camera looks great and I would like to try one. I have been a Hikvision/LTS customer for years but this camera looks great.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to make a recommendation regarding bugs tripping an event, I would advise raising your sensitivity from 20 to a minimum 50 and try it. I have all my mine set to 50 and it works grate, You can adjust from there if needed.

I am leaning more and more to record 24 hours but also have intrusion events for timeline. I am using Synology Surveillance Station now, It has come a long way since I last used it 3 years ago. It now supports smart events such as line-crossing, Intrusion, ect. It also supports multiple...

Thank you, Great info & video.

Agreed.

Have a nice vacation & thanks for the great service. Happy New Year!

Agreed.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I started using XProtect GO and it had set the pre-recording to disabled and post-recording to 3 seconds, I thought that was a bit short though great for saving a bit of space but not useful in my opinion. I love XProtect GO though, I was using Synology...

I was wondering what settings everyone is using for pre-recording & post-recording? Right now I have pre-recording set to 5 seconds and post-recording set to 10 seconds, Is that good? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. So am I to take it if I have plenty of bandwidth & storage I should stick to "static"? All my cameras are set to static now, I used the bandwidth calculator in Hik tools for the recommended bit rate based on my camera settings.

Hi, I have several Hikvision cameras both 3 and 4MP, I am not having any noticeable problems I am just trying to tune the cameras for best performance & video. The cameras come default with the bitrate type set to variable and I was wondering if that's the best setting or should I change it to...

Your setup sounds interesting, Could you tell me how you set this up? I do have a Z-Wave system as well as several Hik cameras. Thanks

Hit up milkisbad in the forums, Price & Service is great.

Agreed, Milk is the best. I had email conversations back and forth for about a month and a half and he never once was rude but rather patient and helpful so the end result was sales from me. Extremely happy with his service.

Good info & I agree with you

Interesting, y do we need to keep the FPS at 12-15?

I had a similar problem but it was with all my cameras a mix of Hiks & Foscams, No matter what I did I could not fix it. On live video everything worked great but on recorded playback it would pause every 15 seconds for 15 seconds then start playing for another 15 seconds then pause 15 seconds...

Congrats on fixing your problem, I agree with fenderman you should be using 568B standard you should also be using test equipment to make sure there is no shorts or crossed pairs. I have had cables work even though they did not pass a cable test, What did you use to test the cable? This step is...

I can only talk of myself, I did get a catalog from milk & I did order from him and will be ordering more 4MP cams soon. Great price/support. I do agree though, Y does so few people post after the request? I feel very bad for milk if he is sending 100's of catalogs out and so few are ordering.

Just wondering y you use a variable bit rate over constant bit rate? Its been my understanding that using a constant bit rate is better, Is this not true? Thanks...

+1 Agreed, Both company's are fantastic.

Your very welcome. How you where trying to go about it is a typical mistake people make that don't have lots of experience with networking. Now you know its never good practice to change the port numbers on the device, Just leave them at there default and always change them on the router they...

I can 2nd this, He is a great guy to work with and most of all price/support is top notch. I am ordering more cameras from him next week. The one camera & bracket I ordered showed up next day:D

I am glad someone else agree with me:D

Instead of changing the HTTP port on the camera a better way is to leave the default ports and change the ports on the router, Most routers allow you to change the external port from the internal port so for example when you setup port forwarding on the router for the external port could be...

+1 on the advice and yes Ryan & milkisbad are great people, I have purchased from both in the past and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Hi, I was wondering if you got any of these new 4MP cams installed yet and if so could you please post your final settings? Thanks....

Here is a snapshot of my driveway using a Hik DS-2CD2032-I bullet camera with a 4MM lens Here is a snapshot of my front porch using a Hik DS-2CD2132F-IWS Dome camera using a 2.8MM Lens

5.3.3 is already available buts its under a different model camera, I just can remember where I got it

Just to clear this up, Nelly's is NOT an authorized reseller of Hikvision but they do sell Hikvision though now unbranded. They are great people at Nelly's and I have even purchased from them in the past. As for Ali pricing your not going to get that no matter hew you purchase from in the US but...
