It's just Hikivion's attempt to block shipments from China that mess with their margins in the U.S. Several China based Hikvision resellers stopped selling to the U.S. because of this. I would say half on Aliexpress I tried won't ship to U.S. anymore.

That's pretty scary, I hope CCTV Camera China doesn't give in to this. I'm kind of surprised at the whole thing, I thought business in China was kind of like the wild west where there is no honor among thieves, and everything is fair game, everything is pirated, copied, stolen, etc. I guess that is why we have places like cctv camera china though.

I wouldn't worry, it's all a big game and there will always be someone willing to sell you the cheaper camera to make money.
Ordered 2 x DS-2CD2632F-I(S) on April 23 2014 at E&M Security Center for US $ 455.60 received it yesterday 05.05.2014
The menue was even set to german!
Cameras look new and they work properly.

Starting to wonder and get a little worried, tracking info shows status of posting in Shenzen on
2014-04-30 16:34:00 and the last update I had showed status of Despatch from Sorting Center on 2014-05-01 10:40:11 and not one update since, what the heck, do they not update the tracking info again until the shipping container hits the US?
Usually when I order anything from China the same thing happens @hmjgriffon

I think the register the package electronically bevore they have the product ... afterwards they hand it in ...

I figured, well, I should be getting it any day now if it takes the 8 ish days I've heard others experience. Hope all goes well, I want to order more and save lots of cash.
Hell I thought about looking on ebay but I dunno how much I trust used cams and ebay just feels shady to me.icerabbit

Cool video haemse.
That reminds me I have an outstanding request to do a ONE YEAR time-lapse documenting the 4 seasons of a garden. My thoughts were to use a Canon with custom software & remote power, shielded from the elements.
But I guess a small surveillance rig would work a lot easier. I will have to read up on how to do interval images, how many of them etc and dedicate some hardware to it.

This guy has a Flickr account loaded with great video and captures by this camera. You can get a good idea of the capabilities of this cam by looking here;

Of the three Hikvisions I have I believe the DS-2CD3132 has the best image quality followed by the DS-2CD2532F and the DS-2CD2032-I which are pretty comparable but this DS-2CD2632F seems to have better image quality than any of them (they are less expensive though) and much less noise in IR mode.
He does have it set to veryhigh bitrate and FPS though. It would be hard to run many cameras at the levels he runs them at. But for your time lapse with one cam this would be a great cam, definitely the best I'v seen at the price point.
Funny, I just read the comments on the video and it seems Dan is here on this forum! Nice Camera work Dan!
