Rotating lens on Hikvision IPC-D140 Dome for wall mounting

[Gadget_Man]

Hi all,
I've got a new IPC-D140 which is to replace a wall mounted analogue camera. Unfortunately it's tricky to mount this one on an overhanging surface, so prefer to mount flat on the wall & rotate the lens.

Can't seem to work out how to physically rotate the lens in dome by 90 degrees & the software rotate is less than ideal as it give you a narrow portrait field of view rather than the landscape one, which won't work for the driveway coverage.

Photos attached of old camera in mounting position & new HIKVision cam with dome off.

Help welcome

From the datasheet :

2-Axis Adjustment Pan: 0° to 355°, tilt: 0° to 70°

It's not a 3-axis adjustment.

@Gadget_Man the standard line of hiks have 3 axis... these are the super low end models.
avoid domes look for a turret form factor.

For comparable turret camera, I guess it's the IPC-T120, I should have got?
This seems 2MP instead of 4MP though - http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2369823.pdf

DS-2CD2343G0-I (spec sheet) might be an option too?

It's really hard to understand Hikvision site & the ranges shown :

• HiLook
• EasyIP 4.0
• EasyIP 3.0
• EasyIP 2.0plus
• Smart IP 3.0
• Smart IP 2.0

For a quality residential install - which should I be looking at (ie. standard range not 'super low end')?

Thanks all

There are a lot of better options, see the hikvision low light camera thread. They will be much better.

I'm struggling to find this thread in search - do you have specific model numbers in mind?

I've got these in mind at moment:

• Hikvision Gray 2MP DS-2CD2325FWD-I
• Hikvision White 4MP DS-2CD2343G0-I 2.8mm Lens

One is EasyIP3.0 & one is EasyIP2.0Plus - no idea what difference is? Is it firmware related? If so, it there much difference in functionality?

Do a forum search for DS-2CD2335FWD-I
Despite some early experiences on focus issues - this is an all-round excellent ultra-low-light camera at the price point.
I have one that's left 24/7 in day/colour mode.
And a UK source in this thread, unusually even beating the Aliexpress resellers at the time of the post : Recommendations?

It's all in the sensor capabilities and performance.
