I currently have an outdated Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IS 3MP Mini Dome with 4mm lens, but it really sucks at night. The street light glares off the mini dome and all detail is lost. My turret in the backyard is much better.
I know there is the ColorVue vs Accusense G2 options, and the 4MP vs 8MP...
Hi Andy. I THINK what I want for a base general purpose camera is 4MP / Varifocal / Starlight? Ideally turret but it seems for now bullet may be the only good option? These would fulfill about 17 positions w/ the remaining 10 a combo of PTZ and higher rez fixed focus.
These seem good options...
Good Morning!
I have been reading a lot on these forums. I have determined I don't want to self-install, and therefore my options are limited. So far - the security camera companies near me really only deal with Hikvision/LTS and don't really mess with dahua, unfortunately.
I have narrowed...
I'm looking to replace my current cameras and add 4 more, so I'll need to upgrade my Blue Iris machine since it tops out at CPU usage a lot.
Looking over at the wiki (Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris | IP Cam Talk), there are some great recommendations, but it doesn't really give any specifics...
Hi people,
I'm interested if someone can give me an advice. If I buy this Hikvision model: DS-2DE5425IW-AE
which has a 4MP, 1/2.5" sensor. If I configure the cam to give out only a 2MP image which I will stream to YouTube, will I have any advantage over, for example, a cheaper Hikvision model...
I have ridden in my house Dahua IPC-HDBW4433R-ZS of 4MP with varifocal and automatic zoom.
But I need one in the living room with PTZ.
I like the design of this DH-SD29204T-GN but it seems to be old.
In the forum I see that like more this DH-SD1A203T-GN.
I would like to know what would...

Just picked up one of these 4MP cameras to replace my 3MP DS-2CD2432F-IWs. So far I’m pleased and low light performance is significantly better than the 3MP camera.
I will likely get more of these.
Feel free to ask me anything.

Hey there,
So I've been using BI for a few months now with 3x Hikvision cameras (2x 4Mp, 1x 3Mp). I am running this on an HP elitebook with an intel i5-4310U CPU, 8GB of ram , and a 256GB SSD. Running Windows 10. This machine is only used for the NVR software. I am using hardware...
4 MP vs 5 MP/77xx or 76xx/HOFOTech
Hi everyone!
I am looking to install 8 IP camera in an office/factory space. I am considering
5 x DS-2CD2142FWD - I (4mp)
3 x DS-2CD2T42WD - I8 (4mp)
Should I go in for 4 MP or 5 MP. I saw some people suggest that 4 MP performs better. Is that correct...
