Hi All
I posted this in another forum a couple of days ago but no replies so far...doing a search on forums and this looks a gud un to join so here goes with my 1st post
:
I have 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS dome cams connected to a Hik DS-7604NI-SE/P NVR
When I first installed the system at my home about 18 months ago (bought from Ali Express ) I had trouble with having to regularly press the reset button on the cams as they would randomly stop working for no apparent reason every week or 2 even after trying new cables ..re routing etc etc.
Then suddenly without me actually doing anything new (that I was aware of anyway) they all started behaving themselves and have been great for at least a full year now with 100% reliabilty (hope I haven't jinxed them now
)
ANYWAY I want to add another cam now (wish I had bought 4 at 1st) and wondered on any suitable one to add.
I am perfectly satisfied with the ones I have but on searching for a 2132 now they have incresed in price quite a lot and are much harder to find...alot of sites are saying the 2135 is a 'replacement' and although much more readily available and cheaper, on reading up it seems they may well have Chinese firmware and don't seem as good a spec as the 2132...same applies to the 3132..ie only 2 axis adjustment.
SO are there any other alternatives with UK firmware/language?...any make will do...with an equivalent or better spec than the 2132 that will be fully compatible with the DS-7604NI-SE/P NVR?...the cams I have now are 4mm but fancy getting a 2mm as the extra FOV would be handy for what I have in mind for this additional one but 4mm would be ok.....nothing more complicated to set up than the 2132 as it took me ages to get my head round that
Have found a couple of 2132's from supposedly UK sellers for about £90 although they dont have an S at the end so are non mic capable...though to be honest this wouldnt be a prob as I have never got round to micing up the others.
Are there any alternatives for this approx price?
So would I be best just getting another 2132 or what other options have you guys tried?
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Tom
