    day/night switch

    Maybe try using it on a schedule. Not the best solution obviously cause dawn and dusk change but if you can't get the sensor right i'd say that's the only option.

    Hikvision Branded vs OEM (DS-2CD2342WD)

    OK thanks for the tip. Auto WDR would be great to have. Although I find WDR much more effective on the Chinese 2345 cameras than the 2342's.

    Hikvision Branded vs OEM (DS-2CD2342WD)

    What I like about Auto is that it turns WDR off at night. WDR at night gives a bad image. Does BLC automatically turn off at night?

    Hikvision Branded vs OEM (DS-2CD2342WD)

    I am aware of that. If you take a look at my screenshot it shows 3 options under WDR. On, Off and Auto for Hikvision Branded cameras. I have found that the OEM firmware only has On and Off options. I want to know if others are aware of this and if there is a firmware with Auto available...

    Hikvision Branded vs OEM (DS-2CD2342WD)

    Hi All, I have recently been testing a Hikvision Branded camera vs Hikvision OEM and noticed a feature difference. The Branded camera has an Auto WDR feature vs the OEM with only the on and off switch. Is anyone aware of how to get the Auto WDR feature on the OEM cameras? Thanks in advance.

    Camera dead after rain

    If water has got into the camera i would expect it to be covered under warranty. If the connector is burn out that's a installer fault. You might be able to return it if the internals are damaged due to water. I haven't experienced any issues with cameras after we have replaced burnt out...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I Factory Reset

    Hi Schoellkopf, There is no physical reset button on the device. You have to do it via the web interface or the VMS software unfortunately and you need your login details.

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    You are correct if it can get power from the pairs that send power it will still light up. In my experience the data pairs are a little more sensitive.

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    I certainly wouldn't be using a wifi camera. Maybe Mikrotik if you're on a budget? Or if its not that far some toughcable between the buildings would be ok.

    Outdoor wireless (yes, I know the limitations :) )

    I would be setting up a wifi point to point link using some Ubiquiti Nanos. We do this all the time for customers and it works great! no need to worry about bandwidth issues we run multiple 4MP cameras off a single link.
