2032 on Amazon sold by "i-Secu" and others

[perpetual nomad]

Does anyone have any experience with purchases of the 2032 via Amazon? The product image seems to show an unbranded version of this camera that isn't a genuine Hikvision -- mixed results in the reviews that don't specify which seller they purchased from.

Welcome to the forum. I doubt its a fake or anything like that. The tech secu seller has over 200 reviews....i think you will be fine. Understand that there probably is no warranty on it though.

Indeed, I suppose I don't expect much in the way of warranty, simply protection against DOA.

Amazon and/or your credit card should cover DOA

They warranty their product for three years. Just bought five dahua's and they were great.

I actually had Amazon pull all those 2032 listings today because they were using images from my website. To add insult to injury, it was not even images from a 2032. If you read the bad reviews, it says it's a china camera and several people had issues with it. The reason I know is because I had people complain in my blog about Amazon Hiks saying it says Hikvision on the listing, but the problem is that Amazon creates the add based on the Amazon ID, so anyone can sell the camera by shipping them to Amazon, says fulfilled by Amazon, but you don't know who is selling it or what you are getting, Chinese version, OEM version, you don't know. The good new is Amazon has a whole team dedicated to support you if you have any problems with the camera

I noticed this -- lessening the trust level (although one never can be sure just who uploaded the images or created the original product placement from a buyer's perspective). I've returned many-a-thing back to Amazon, and should it be unsatisfactory all I need report is 'product not as described' or something to that effect.

Won't be able to power it on until tomorrow to review the firmware (PoE injector comes tomorrow), but looking good so far.

FWIW, the label should have your firmware version on it.

Yes, label indicates v5.1.6_140612

Looks like legit packaging! Although we're all spoiled by amazon prime, the non-branded version of this camera is being sold in the "hikvision" thread under ip cameras for $119 right now by milkisbad. He ships same day, though shipping isn't free like with Prime so it will come out about $10 cheaper, but not carry that Hikvision brand.
