Hi everyone,


I've just received two hikvision ip cameras DS-2CD2387G2-L (C) but there are some slight differences between them.

Both cameras have the same model number everything except fabrication date, one is made in 03-2022 and the other one in 09-2023. There are some differences at the lens and at the base.
I've just unboxed them but didn't powered them up/activated them.


My question is if you think the newer one may come with some improvements over the older one as it's one year and a half between them. I've got them locally(europe) so I can send the 2022 one back for a replacement easily.

What would you advice me to do? What do you think? Thanks.

Now I've noticed that I did not write the model number completely.

I believe the suffix letter in the round brackets at the end of the model number denotes differences in internal hardware, apparently due to supply chain issues.
This is why there are firmware variations for apparently the same model.

Do both cameras have the (C) suffix at the end of the model number, as seen on the product label?

Yes, both with "(C)" at the end and everything the same, except Serial number and production date.
