    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Has anyone installed either of these two cameras under a soffit. Basically, does it HAVE to be installed on a wall or does the mount allow you to turn it 90-degrees so you can install it under a soffit or ceiling type surface. My guess is 'yeah' but I was hoping so get an actual answer.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Well I guess because Andy seems to take care of us here and I rather give him my business then B&H or some other over priced vendor.

    switch recommendation

    Hey all, Can you guys recommend me a good POE switch. I saw the list recently but it seemed like information overload since there were too many to choose from. I figured there was a popular choice for a POE switch that everyone uses kind of like how WD Purple hard drives are used. I plan on...

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    Thanks for clearing that up guys. As long as it can be attached to the 2x4 where the soffit resides, I'll be good to go. Thanks!

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    On more question bro; Do you absolutely need to instlal this camera with a junction box? I have sofits that I will install the camera under and I don't really care for the added thickness of the box. I'm assuming though that you do need it though especially to seal out the moisture.

    Initial review of the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) ColorVu 2.0 IP camera.

    Question? If I buy one from one of those from one of the links up above (Alixpress,Amazon, etc), can I use the firmware from the EU portal? Does it matter if I live in the U.S.? Should I be buying from someplace else?

    That's a bummer bro. Where do you get US Hik cameras? Didn't the United States commerce department ban them?

    Same cameras different form factors comparison question

    So I've seen a lot of good comments on the ColorVu Hik DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) camera. It's a turret camera. I noticed there was another model that seemed to be the same camera except it's a bullet (DS-2CD2047G2-L(U)) I haven't seen any reviews on this particular one here. Are bullet cameras that...

    Acusense 2.0 and ColorVu 2.0

    These soon to be released Colorvu 2.0 cams are not network(ethernet POE) right? They are strictly for DVR systems? If that's true thats a shame.

    Review of the Hikvision OEM model IPC-T2347G-LU 'ColorVu' IP CCTV camera.

    I noticed someone asking about connecting dc power to the Color Vu camera mentioned in this thread but he didn't get a response. I was curious as well. I have a Reolink system that I just bought and am looking to return it (TY amazon return policy) and possibly get something better. So I was...
