ANNKE I61DR 2MP (Hikvision Cube Clone)

[giomania]

Does anyone have a place to purchase these right now? They appear to be out of stock on the manufacturer website. It is showing $89 on Amazon. That hurts a little since it has been at $50 recently.

Scroll up a little...

To be completely fair, it's on the previous page for a lot of people.
Hykamic 4MP Camera $89

Oh. I was searching for the 2 MP version. I will look into it.

If I had to guess, I'd say the entire US inventory of Hikvision/Annke/EZViz/ESyPop 2 MP cube cameras is pretty much sold. Unless you go looking on AliExpress for old stock, anyway.

I still don't see the $50 2MP one listed anywhere. For inside with ranges of like maybe a typical 8- 20' max distance to anything you want to see isn't a 4MP kind of overkill and worse night image anyway?

I agree it's overkill, but it's what's available, and a decent price.

Can anyone that has the 4mp provide night or pi correct video samples? I am curious how much quality loss there is over the 2MP since people talk about that all the time. My primary concern would be that I could see who's there in a room at nignt.
Thanks

This video is from 6 am this morning, when the wife let the dogs out. Hope this helps.

Thanks The outside lights kicked it into color mode at the end which looks better.

Annke's website still lists it as Out of Stock.
AliExpress.com shows three vendors, none of whom I particularly recognize.

Hello.

I got this camera and have successfully installed it and connected it to my BI server.
However, I haven't got to update the firmware. It came with 2.3.5 and when I try to upgrade to Hikvision's 2.4.0 it fails. Any tips?

Why do you need to upgrade firmware?

Why do you need to upgrade firmware?

I don't have to?
I thought upgrading firmware to all electronic devices is a good practice.

No

Alright then. I'll leave it as is. Thanks for your help!

Amazon asked me to answer a question since I posted a review of the camera there, and I decided to check, and it is back in stock there.
