    Hikvision as a brand

    ok thanks for that info. for the camera that will be at my front entrance/porch, the porch is about 8x5 feet. I would like to capture this entire area. do you think 4mm would cover it or should I go with 2.8mm? the camera will be mounted above the door, at one of the corners of the porch.

    ok so my installer said the above two cameras are pretty much the same except for the 4mp vs 8mp. the 4mp needs less light. he also said that when using software to zoom in on something, it will look better on the 8mp camera. my question is, do you think the image quality be too low when...

    yes there are differences. all the numbers in the DORI in the 4mp model are lower. since my property is not that big, I figure those lower numbers are better for me. the Minimum Illumination is lower in the 4mp model which I think is better right? here are all the differences. still not...

    ok so it would seem to be that the best out of the three would be the DS-2CD2347G3-LIS2UY/S(L)(RB) model since its a G3 model and its 4mp and sensor is 1/1.8" and you guys say that is the sweet spot for image quality. and since its 4mp, it should be cheaper than the 8mp camera. would you agree?

    so what do you think is more important, newer camera with ColorVu 3.0 and more modern video processing and AI detections or a camera with better night performance? by the way, the first one is also new, according to their site.

    I'll have to ask him because if he shows me in the day of the install, it will be too late.

    Hi all, is it ok if the installer used pvc to run the wires through, along the outside of the house instead of metal? And what type of cable should he be using? Obviously a cable for outdoors, but would cat6 be good enough?

    so if the dori of a camera using 2.8mm focal length is: 2.8 mm, D: 79 m, O: 31 m, R: 15 m, I: 7 m, that means it would be able to identify someone at 7 meter, therefore if that person is 1-2 meters away, they will be out of focus and therefore will not be identifiable?

    I'm talking about depth of field, not field of view. field of view is how much of the scene the camera can capture. depth of field is how much of the scene is in focus. field of view is measured in degrees I guess, but depth of field is a distance. in this case the depth of field of this...

    Wow, you blew my mind! I never thought of the fact that the video would need to be paused and that image needs to be clear. So what is a good shutter speed to have on these cameras? And also I'm concerned with the depth of field (not the field of view) on the camera i mentioned. It has a depth...

    he gave me a quote of $2300 canadian. that includes the NVR and 3 cameras, but he's given me another camera option which I have to look at first. but I did notice that the depth of field of this camera is a little over 3m. so that might be fine for an overview of the property, but it won't be...

    Hikvision as a brand

    Hi, the installer will configure the system and support it after. the wireless cameras would be internal only, if I were to use any. you never know. there are a lot of things I do now that I never though I'd be doing. so I don't believe in only getting something that is only capable of doing...

    Hi guys, do you know if Hikvision has an NVR that can handle both PoE cameras and wireless cameras? I tried looking for one on their site but can't find any. I know they have wifi NVRs, but those only handle wireless cameras.

    thanks for the in depth post. but I don't really have the time to do all the research. But I do get and agree with capturing license plates and other useful information. my home is pretty standard. if anyone comes to the house, they would be coming from the front. right now we want two...

    can you give me a model number of a hikvision camera that does this? the installer would be putting a camera at the front entrance and a camera above the garage. so would this camera be the one to put above the garage? if so, would it show anything else? I would want this camera to see...

    update: so I got the models the installer gave me a quote for. the camera is the Hikvision IPC-T260HA-LUF/SL and he would providing 3 cameras. the NVR is the 4 channel version of Hikvision NVR-108MH-C/8P. What do you think of this combination? looking at the specs, I will not be getting...

    Hi all, I'm interested in getting a security system for the outside of my home. the company who gave me a quote uses Hikvision cameras. Are they generally good cameras? how about their software and DVR? thanks
