    Tracking replacement recommendations for Hikvision DS-2DF8236I-AEL that died last night

    This forum is really dead now. Hardly any posts. Anyways, I repaired the defective power supply board by recapping it and replacing a shorted Schottky diode diode. Camera is as good as new.

    Hikvision TandemVu camera can't maintain focus

    The camera is awesome at tracking when using the 180 degree panorama camera as a spotter, but it cannot maintain focus. This video is pretty much what happens 100% of the time. I did enable Rapid Focus and calibrated it which at least allows it to instantly focus when it zooms in or out suddenly...

    Any opinions on the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26?

    The DS-2SF8C442MXG has every one of these traffic features that they list for the G1 but NOT for the G. You can even whitelist and blacklist up to 10,000 license plates. Was a little bit of a surprised to see this in the VCA application menu after firing it up for the first time. Tracking is...

    Any opinions on the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26?

    The DS-2SF8C442MXG arrived today. I gave up trying to acquire the updated DS-2SF8C442MXG1. There were no legitimate sources that have the camera and the shady ones were still saying 60 to 90 days lead time. I'm not convinced it has actually shipped. There's not a single review or discussion from...

    hikdistribution.com anyone?

    Looking for the DS-2SF8C442MXG1 which is the updated version of the DS-2SF8C442MXG which has a massive update on AI recognition and tracking features. It's not yet available in the US and Hikvision USA, as expected, says they have no ETA. Anyone have any experience with hikdistrubution.com?

    Hikvision Canada ordered to cease operations over security risks

    All my cameras sit on a VLAN with firewall rules that prevent any device on that VLAN from making outbound requests.

    Any opinions on the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26?

    Would really be awesome to hear some feedback from anyone who has either of these cameras. I can't find a single report from any user anywhere in any community setting that has claimed to have ever bought this camera.

    Any opinions on the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26?

    Unfortunately, the global version doesn't come with a USA warranty and isn't available from USA distributors. Also, the panoramic camera sensor is significantly smaller on the G1. Supposedly they compensate for this with improved AI processing. I'd rather have the larger sensor. Still, I'd...

    Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

    The rtsp links you posted earlier....or is that you own camera? I guess so since it's just an ip. What model of camera is it?

    Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

    Why does the RTSP port show 555 in this screenshot? Shouldn't it be 554?

    Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

    Can anyone verify that this would work for the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW? I realized the model was never specified. I tried to access the guest camera but that IP address doesn't work and even the stream URLs don't play in VLC after inserting the second "/".

    Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

    Very nice. Just ordered it. Can't wait. I also ordered new caps for the ones that blew on he power supply board in the old camera. It's too valuable and good to not try and fix.

    Does anyone have TandemVu working in BI?

    So does this mean you got both main and sub streams for both cameras working? i.e. Two mains and two subs? Looking at the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW but only if it's going to work properly with BI.

    Anyone using new TandemVu Hikivision cameras?

    If so, any issues getting to the both the panorama and PTZ streams for both main and sub channels? i.e. Two mains and two subs.

    Any opinions on the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW/26?

    What is the decent price that you saw? Looking at this camera myself. One of my DS-2DF8236I-AEL died after 7 years. These retailed for $3500 but I got two open box units from an authorized USA Hikvision dealer for $1100 each. Verified US product with Hikvision US support. This camera looks...
