    DS-2CD2347G2-LU no LED control

    What settings did you have to control the LED in the old firmware? I've been trying to work out how to set the LED to only come on with motion on a DS-2CD2387G2 - which uses the same firmware. My current firmware is V5.7.2 build 211109 Older firmware versions are here...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    The Accusense smart detection of people and vehicles is a huge step forward. I've gone from being annoyed at everything from Autumn leaves/ rain/ shadows/ fog constantly triggering markers to 95% being only cars and people. I don't use motion detection on the Colorvu. It makes reviewing footage...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    Interesting, do you have a link to it? I'm using the Euro firmware for the NVR, I haven't updated to the latest. The latest is V4.61.000_220507...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    You're in Australia... Hikvision Australia hold back local firmware updates (or did in the past) so you're literally years behind the O/S firmware. Then they region lock the NVR's so you can only upload Australian firmware releases- or else you "brick it". That's what I got for buying locally...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    I tried a comparison with my 8MP 4mm Colorvu Gen2 with the S22 on 1x (closest equivalent view). The phone defaulted to 1/17s shutter speed and the pic was a bit worse than the Colorvu- with it operating at a quicker 1/50s exposure. The panoramic would have been nice, but the narrow vertical...

    DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL - Dropping frames (?) whenever live view/HikConnect is launched.

    I had that happening on my 7608 running an 8MP Gen 2 Colorvu. In my case it was the live view screen glitching for that camera about every 19 seconds, with the screen momentarily freezing and the date/ time display disappearing during the quick glitch. In my case it seemed to be related to the...

    DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) can you connect via wifi?

    You need to use the RJ45 interface to connect ethernet cabling to an existing NVR (network video recorder) or a PC running suitable software. It won't work via wifi without you adding some more equipment via that RJ45 output port.

    Okay, got it. Normal "Photo" mode and 0.6x. (I forgot about 0.6x, I usually am in the other modes that lock it out.)

    Hi Andy, are they going to add freight costs onto the site's shop? I was looking through it a couple of days ago, added a camera to the cart but it looked like you have to enter all your details before you can get the freight charges?

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    Interesting. You've got the S22 with the three lenses- not the Ultra- was it taken in 1x or 3x mode? I've got an S22 as well- I would have thought the pictures would be brighter. Although, I do run my 8MP Colorvu at faster shutter speeds.

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    In the other photo it shows locator lugs on the lens assy that fit in between the suspect long screw and the glued screw. (Into the black hole which is visible on the copper section.) There's matching holes in the silver bracket. So the orientation appears okay. Perhaps it's just happened that...

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    Closest pic of your camera I could find compared to mine. (Light levels played with on your pic to show more shadow detail.) When I looked closely I wasn't so sure that the CCD/ optical sensor could move independently to the lens barrel. That copper bit seems to be more of a heatsink than a...

    DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL Panoramic 4k

    I'm tempted to replace 2 x 3Mp DS-2CD2335FWD-I cams ("powered by dark fighter" Color: 0.008 lux) with the one. I've got them set to colour and use LED floodlighting (in addition to the dismal street lights.) That would free up an NVR channel which would be handy. The one 8MP Colorvu I've got is...

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    There was a small amount of glue left on the threads of the lens which made it stiff to adjust- so I didn't bother putting any glue on mine. On some older Hik cams I've done lens changes and used teflon plumbing thread tape to make the lens firm (so you can still adjust it, but it won't move...

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    I'm not so sure that's the purpose of those screws as the optical sensor appeared to be fixed in relation to the lens. But there are two screws, adjustable, with locking glue on them. So my camera was substantially out of focus. I moved the lens probably 5 to 10 degrees. Distant objects are way...

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    I've got mine apart now. That lens glue is a PITA to get off, I've only just started removing it. One thing I have noticed is the silver metal bracket (the lens module mounts to) has adjustment screws. They are used to mount the lens square to the optical sensor. I've got the LHS of the video...

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    That's the same as mine. You've got 80Mbps total incoming bandwith- so 10Mbps per channel (averaging it.) Increasing the bit rate will improve the picture detail. I did a screen capture (jpg) on the NVR to show the LHS focus issue, it doesn't really show it up as much as the live view on a 55"...

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    Are you using an NVR? With H265+ and H264+ I've always had bizarre issues crop up after a couple of days (corrupt frames etc.) Give H264 a go and see if it's better, do you have enough bandwidth to bump the bitrate up too? My NVR limits me to an average of around 10000 per channel. I don't have...

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    Try out plain H265 and h264. I think I've got mine set to h264 as the detail is clearer. Your bitrate is low for an 8MP camera, but I guess your FPS is lower too. I've got mine set to variable at around 11000.

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    It will be obvious when it's installed if there is the same problem. Mine looks out over my double width paver driveway, it's obvious the LHS of the screen has soft focus no matter what the distance. (When viewing the pavers, tree leaves etc.) It will be interesting to see what you think once...

    Hikvision 4k colorvu acusense turret focus

    3.1m is the closest it will focus (as set up by the factory so the focus to infinity is correct.) As mentioned, the only way to change it- so it is focused at 1m- is to pull the camera apart and adjust the screw mounted lens. It's not something I'd recommend doing unless you're familiar with...

    Hikvision 4k colorvu acusense turret focus

    The lenses are a screw mount and pre focused at the factory. The Colorvu cameras use a wide aperture lens (which lets in more light), but the down side to that is the depth of focus (the distance range in focus) will be reduced. The specs do mentioned the minimum focus distances, for your 2.8mm...

    Hikvision 4k colorvu acusense turret focus

    You can change lenses too. I've done it on some older 4MP Hik cameras, I've run up to a 12mm lens for a long and narrow side path. It would be interesting to try say an f2.0 lens. The depth of field (minimum focus distance) would improve, but the low light sensitivity would take a hit. How much...
