    WTS Hikvision 3MP 12mm DS-2CD2335FWD-I POE Turret Camera Ultra Low Light

    China Wholesale Security sent 2335 instead of the 2035 I ordered and I declined to send it back - $140 shipped (US/Paypal only). I tested the camera and it is in perfect working order and in Like New condition. Price is firm. I will ship USPS Priority mail.

    DS-2CD2035FWD-I and WDR

    At what value / setting do you have WDR set at? I can assert the issue you're having is not one that my 2035fwd exhibits - with that said, I typically don't find WDR very helpful at night (and I have experimented with it with the 2035fwd).

    Is there a good small camera for front and rear doors?

    I labeled the likely suspects: 1 - centered over the door (alernatively it could go right above on the ceiling. I don't have any room over my door, but if I were to install today I'd likely install over my door on the ceiling) 2 - face height to the side of the door 3 - where my camera is...

    4mm lens for DS-2CD2042WD-I camera

    From Greece your best bet would likely be aliexpress.com. Type in "m12 4mm 5mp" for search parameters, and other than the 1/1.8 lens any of the other dozen lenses should work well with your 2042.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2035FWD-I 3MP Ultra-Low Light

    I ordered a 12mm DS-2CD2035FWD-I from China Wholesale Security and received a 12mm DS-2CD2335FWD-I and decided to hold onto it, but also ordered 12mm DS-2CD2035FWD-I again (this time from MagicVision - ordered 6/21 and received today). While I'm a fan of the Dahua HDW5231R-Z, or the turrett...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Thanks Fenderman. I would be interested to know specifics brands/techniques to achieve this...mine are perfectly painted until I make an adjustment and then the eye or camera body is scratched - not waiting long enough / wrong paint (used Krylon - Camoflage - with Fusion Paint Technology) / need...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Yes, the install location is narrow and the turrett doesn't work very well for the location. Also, for that camera location I like to paint the body of the camera and the mini bullet is much better for that application - with the turrett as you adjust the eye the paint gets scratched up too...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    I ordered a 12mm DS-2CD2035FWD-I from China Wholesale Security and received a 12mm DS-2CD2335FWD-I - I emailed the vendor and they told me to ship it back. Has anyone returned a camera - is shipping to China anymore involved than shipping in the states? Are custom forms required? is USPS the...

    DS-2CD2325FWD-I 2MP Ultra-Low Light Network Turret Camera

    At the end of the day, and its been said on this forum before, you should likely resale the camera and simply order the 4mm camera (especially for these new low light series cameras).

    DS-2CD2325FWD-I 2MP Ultra-Low Light Network Turret Camera

    You won't be able to find an exact match - according to the specs you want to find as close to f1.2 as possible (i.e. Min. Illumination:| Color: 0.005 lux @(F1.2, AGC ON), 0 lux with IR).

    Change a Hikvision lens from 2.8mm to 4mm or 6mm?

    I usually start out at about 30ft. (because that is all I have to work with inside) with a license plate and fine tune by taking it outside in the actual environment (with a 30 ft. ethernet cord).

    WTS Dahua IPC-HDW5231RPZ (2) - $170 + shipping (Brand New)

    I may have been told I went a little too far with this last purchase. I literally just received these from DHL/BEC this afternoon. Selling two units of the above for $170 each + shipping ($13.45 for one or $19.95 for two). First person (or two) to message me and provides their Paypal email...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Coincidentally I just did this today - due to the tight space between the eve and the pillar. Worked fine, with the exception of the IR bouncing off the eves - I turned the IR off. With that said, the IR issue would have likely been there right side up because of the tight confines.

    DS-2CD2342WD-I disassemble and adjust lens?

    In the above video I swapped out the 4mm for a 25mm lens. I would say most would believe it was manufacturer set and focused. Original post: Hikvision 2032i Lens Change

    How many feet approx. from camera to the car (in the still shot with the fire hydrant)? See my below thread - specifically the snapshot of the fire engine - this is only a 25mm lens at approx. 100 feet and openalpr picks up pretty much every plate with this angle / lens. Hikvision 2032i...
