Me too. I could do with one to play withI'm looking to buy another: Dahua DH-IPC-HDW4421C 4MP
The sellers on ali, tell me they are "chinese firmware" That is why I asked what happened to CCTV Camera China. As the ones I bought from her are all fine and the price was good. $78.XX
The nightvision is pretty good on the camera and and the 2.8mm lens is great too! But I was surprised when being told what they have are "chinese firmware" only now
Does it have English language? Also "nightvision is pretty good" among Dahua or as good as Hikvision WDR cams?I'm looking to buy another: Dahua DH-IPC-HDW4421C 4MP

It's an escrow arrangement while the order is in progress, not yet completed.how does the aliexpress policy work for getting cash back?
But when you only have to change 4 numbers of code to convert the Chinese cams to US region, there's not really any benefit to paying anything extra for a factory default US region camera (unless one is totally computer illiterate, which in that case, they'd likely not be buying/installing an IP camera themselves in the first place)...Plus, Hikvision will still not offer any warranty or support on it because you didn't get it from an "authorized dealer"....and from what I've seen, the prices from authorized dealers are way more than $30 extra. Thus, an "unauthorized default US region cam" has no benefit over a "Chinese hacked to US Region camera", as long as the company you are buying from is reputable. You're still relying on the seller for support and the seller and/or a 3rd party company for any warranty.To clarify, the US sellers we are discussing here sell US region fully upgradable cameras not China cams...amazon sellers selling china cameras are not worth the extra 30 dollars...you are just paying for express shipping and easy returns..you may as well buy a US region camera for those prices..
That is incorrect. There are two primary benefits. 1) firmware updates 2) warranty. The hack will limit you to specific firmware. You will not able to upgrade to newer firmware. Again, depending you your situation this may or may not be an issue. The support provided by US sellers is often quicker and better than hikvision's. If you (like many) are running 3mp hiks in 2mp mode the price difference becomes even closer 10-20 + you get the added benefit of better low light performance that a true 2mp camera provides. On the 4mp the price is often better than ali...On the cubes the price is the same.But when you only have to change 4 numbers of code to convert the Chinese cams to US region, there's not really any benefit to paying anything extra for a factory default US region camera (unless one is totally computer illiterate, which in that case, they'd likely not be buying/installing an IP camera themselves in the first place)...Plus, Hikvision will still not offer any warranty or support on it because you didn't get it from an "authorized dealer"....and from what I've seen, the prices from authorized dealers are way more than $30 extra.

Hmm, I'm a little confused on this part. I was under the impression that if one were to do the permanent region change, that the camera becomes identified as a US Region camera and will accept any and all firmware upgrades designed for US region cams. (Again, I'm talking about the permanent region code hack, not the firmware-specific hack that some of the chinese sellers do in which the camera is still chinese region but displayed in English and future firmware upgrades either brick the camera or convert it back to chinese language)...Is this not the case?1) firmware updates The hack will limit you to specific firmware. You will not able to upgrade to newer firmware.
Agreed, but the point I was making is that there are US sellers that sell the region hacked Chinese cameras and offer support. If the seller is good and reputable, then their support for a region hacked Chinese cam is just as good as their support for a default US region cam. I think you're referring to paying $30 extra to a seller in China to express ship. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about reputable sellers with stores located in the US that resell the Chinese hacked to US Region cameras and offer support. You would have the exact same seller support without the added markup of a default US region camera.2) warranty. The support provided by US sellers is often quicker and better than hikvision's.
I was under the impression that the Chinese sellers selling the new 4mp cams were actually selling default US region cams; not hacked Chinese versions? At least several posters on here that ordered from China confirmed that they received a US region serial number on the 4mp they bought from China. If that's true, then I would suspect that you would be able to buy a US region cam cheaper in the US than in China because it would have the same wholesale value and without the international shipping costs. The reason the 3mp were so much cheaper is that they were hacked Chinese versions which had a much lower wholesale cost than default US region.On the 4mp the price is often better than ali...On the cubes the price is the same.
The 4 Dahua cameras I got from her are all English, I didn't need to change anything. I consider the nightvision DAMN GREAT! ... Compared to the nightvision I've experienced on analog cameras. The tiny little IR LEDS that are the old style, compare nothing to the newer higher powered single IR LEDS that are out now.Does it have English language? Also "nightvision is pretty good" among Dahua or as good as Hikvision WDR cams?
URL please?...This week i received a 2342 4MP Turret from Joanna, English version.
Very good and clear communication and very fast shipping.
I will buy more from her.
Man, I just have the same problem with 2132F-IWS !. This is driving me crazy as WiFi is a must for me...This time, they read my message and asked me to change my router to test and sent me a screenshot of their 2032 with wireless settings saving ok.
I was able resolve my issue by factory restoring twice, and then saving my wireless settings, then reboot.
BTW, got confirmation that dragon electronics parent company is xinray. This guy has much faster response time than xinray
There is a reason the information is not shared openly. If you would take two minuets you would find it. If those users would just take the time to send a pm...guess its too much work. This forum is all about helping others. Stop and think for a minuet before tossing out accusations.Its just disgusting to see so many people not wanting to help others. If you have info, share it. Don't make people beg and search for something you already know. It wouldn't take you anymore time to type a helpful response than to tell people to spend time and read and look around.
I too would like to know what us sellers are priced similar to ALI. I also would like to hear what ali sellers are good these days. I understand that we need to keep the sellers names somewhat quite to protect them from HIK
Imagine a girl that worked very hard to support her husband, thinking he would be happy and grateful.There is a reason the information is not shared openly. If you would take two minuets you would find it. If those users would just take the time to send a pm...guess its too much work.
Regardless, for now, that sellers is unavailable. You can look at nelly's, they are basically the same price for the 4mp cameras..the 3mp are significantly higher than ali.
