I just got one of these cameras from AliExpress (CN security online store) that I saw in another thread. Do I need to update firmware right off the bat? I’v never done firmware update before. Thanks.Exactly. It is indeed a Hikvision camera. I bought one and even uploaded the latest firmware from the Hikvison website. It only has the ANNKE name on it. All else is Hikvision.

Any benefit to running the Hikvision firmware over the Annke firmware?Exactly. It is indeed a Hikvision camera. I bought one and even uploaded the latest firmware from the Hikvison website. It only has the ANNKE name on it. All else is Hikvision.

I did not notice any. I was having a problem with the substream not coming up, and I was trying to figure out what the problem was. Down loading the latest firmware was a trouble shooting test. Turns out that when I added this camera to the NVR it went into a slight power overload. So, I added a power injector for the camera and viola, everything is now good. I might add that I only use the basic features.
That’s the firmware I used and it gave me everything functional.Hi,
I've exactly the same problem, i can't open the substream from my NVR DS-7616NI-I2.
I've already test this on POE and with a power supply and it doesn't solved anything.
So, i'de like to upgrade my I91BH with the DS-2CD2387G2P firmware.
What's firmware do you use ?
this one ? DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL
Do you loose smart event ?

For those using this camera at night with lights on, do you have problems with insects or bugs? If so, how bad is it? Did you have to occasionally clean the lenses removing bugs if use with lights on at night?
No problem with bugs or insects for me. However, I have the lights on at the 20% level.
It does support ONVIF. Unfortunately it’s a very wide view so the person and car detection depends on your outdoor lighting and on the size of the scene you are trying to frame. I am using it as a full overview camera. Unfortunately due to that it doesn’t do the best at AI detections, however it does receive ONVIF information so it does flag for AI verification when the ONVIF alerts trigger, however vehicles and persons are really only detected during the day. I have 2 other cameras which also cover the same area which more often do detect and observe better than this one does, however currently only my doorbell and FrontDoor cameras are really able to perform the identify tasks properly.Thanks for the info on that. Do either of you are using it with Blue Iris? Does the human/car detection work well? Does this camera support onvif trigger for those detections when using BlueIris?
