Hi there,
I am new on this board and have purchased a Hikvision system here in Germany, was not really cheap.
After weeks of learning the system now does all that I want......
Included in the package was a HIKVISION Bullet DS-2CD2232-I5 (12mm) with 3 MP Outdoor 23,2°
which has cost nearly 300 Euros.
I have found out that the 12mm lense is not the optimal one, so I have decided to purchase an additional camera of the same type but with a 4 or 6mm lense to increase the angle.
I found this camera in AliExpress for 85 bucks incl. shippment to Germany and this is a bit better than the german price.......
Now the additional camera came in but the bracket is different.
Currently I have this one mounted to my house which has a rear bracket: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1JHBMZAB5B3492R76VKT
this is what I have got now and this has a totally different bracket: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1JHBMZAB5B3492R76VKT
Because the mounting position is very high - I need a big ladder - and I want to replace the current camera with the new one I have one question:
must I change the housing or must I purchase another camera??
Thanx in advance for your answers
Thomas
