    Replacing Boobie cam lens

    Hey guys, I am trying to replace a Boobie Cam (IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2) 2.8mm lens to a wider angle lens. I've tried several but can't get them to work. Every one I have tried has resulted in a blurry image. I tried screwing and unscrewing to various depths and it remains blurry. Anyone replaced...

    Waterproof housing (similar to Dahua zoom) for DIY LPR?

    I'm looking for a housing for my DIY 50mm Sony IMX291 LPR. I couldn't find anything with close specs, and I frankly got tired of fighting it, so for 20$ from Ali and another 25$ for a fast optic, I now have a lense capable of reading license plates to the edge of my circle (and a bit beyond)...

    Looking for IP dome camera 2.1mm

    Hi and thanks in advance. I'm trying to source a 2.1mm wide angle lens IP dome camera that is Hikvision / Onvif compatible. A number of retailers refer to 2.8mm as wide angle, but that isn't particularly wide compared to 2.1mm. This is to upgrade an existing analogue 2.1mm dome camera. The...

    Condensation in bullet cam while indoors

    Hello everyone, I just recently joined the forums after buying a house earlier this fall. I decided to buy a Hikvision DS-2CD2085FWD-I 8MP Bullet IP Camera from an eBay seller and I'm super happy with the quality. I picked up a TP‑Link TL‑POE150S PoE Injector to power it temporarily while I wait...

    I've settled on the 2MP Dahua Starlights but I'm not sure about lenses...

    Would this be adequate information for anyone to give me suggestions. The interior cameras show max distances and the exterior distances show the max distance I'm worried about viewing. Not sure if this helps but it's the best I could come up with. Thank you all.

    ALPR: anyone have a 100mm lens they like?

    Due to the number of burglaries in my neighborhood lately, I want to keep a record of cars passing by. Because of a bend in the road, I have a view directly along it from one corner of my house, but depending on how tall the nearby parked cars are, plus other obstructions limiting my camera...

    Would this camera work here to get this FOV?

    Ever since I had CCTV cameras I've tried to find a perfect spot for a front door camera. I've had limited success. :rolleyes: I have now thought maybe the HikVision DS-2CD2532F-I with a 2.8mm lens would be ideal. Here are photos of where I would mount the camera, and the FOV I hope to get...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW Dissassembly

    I've been asked how to focus the DS-2CD2432F-IW and for those that have re-focused or changed lenses on Hikvision fixed lens cameras, you know it's glued in place, but that never stopped the determined. So I'll give you some pointers. First, this is the camera with the front dark plate off. I...
