Hi guys,
I'm a happy user of some DS-2CD2632F-ISs (although stuck with a vendor multilanguage 5.2.5 and can't upgrade... but another matter for another day!) and I was looking to add a few more cameras.
Some time has passed and that model is naturally discontinued...
A search on Aliexpress suggests a replacement of DS-2CD1631FWD-I - indeed there seems to be plenty of good deals for lots of "1-series" cameras which all look nice...
My question though... Googling this camera, or indeed any non-2/4/6-line cameras... I literally cannot find an official Hikvision source of information for these cameras whatsoever. I can't find their existance on the Hikvision site. I've tried every locale of Hikvision site (including translating the Chinese one), as well as Googled the hell out of the part numbers, but all I get is aliexpress?!
What is going on here... are these some sort of bizarre knock-off cameras? They certainly look like Hikvisions...
Are they OK to buy or avoid?
