    Upgrading Hikvision cameras, Concerned about night image

    Currently have two DS-2CD2043G0-I (4MP) cameras for narrow alleys on both sides of the house. The problem is that wind blowing leaves and stray cats etc trigger the smart event on them all the time (false alarms). The latest version of these cameras (DS-2CD2046G2-IU) have AcuSense feature...

    Darkfighter Cameras

    Hi All, New to the forum but have been lurking for a while research my IP camera setup! Have never had a camera setup but want one installed on our newly renovated home.

    ColorVU versus the Dark Fighter options?

    I'm looking at YouTube sources primarily but, the sources I have watched are confusing as much as anything. How do the different Dark Fighter releases compare to each other? How does ColorVU fit into the nighttime use role? How do the price points change when going from ColorVU to the Dark...

    Acusense and 1/1.8 sensor

    Looking for feedback : Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU (Colorvu) or Hikvision Darkfighter DS-2CD2345FWD-I

    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...

    Choosing Hikvision cameras: Lines and Darkfighter

    Is there a huge difference between sensor image quality between 1, 2 and 2plus lines? I went to the local Hikvision shop/distributor and asked for a 3MP Dome camera for indoor use (no need for night vision). The cheapest one was 1-line, he said for the same price I can have 1.3MP 2-line, and...
