I'm looking for a security camera and having some trouble finding one that meets my requirements:

  • LTS (LT Security) or Hikvision – I already have a 16-channel LTS NVR.
  • 4-6 (4, 5, 6) MP
  • 4mm or 6mm (preferred) focal length
  • Turret (not dome)
  • Black (dark gray is fine)
Any suggestions on model and/or where to check? I've been looking around, just having a difficult time finding what I'm looking for.

Thanks! I was seeing B&H search results for Hikvision cameras, but kept seeing "item you're trying to find is unavailable through this purchasing site" when I would try the links. At some point I realized that it's because I'm signed on B&H B2B. If I try security/surveillance camera search signed in that way, Hikvision doesn't appear in the brand list. B&H offers the Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU, which is pretty much what I'm looking for, but only offer the 4mm edition in white. Because of where it's being installed, I definitely want black or dark gray.

B&H Links work fine for me.

Yes, B&H links for Hikvision products worked for me in a different browser (where I wasn't signed on the B&H website) and in my primary browser, after I signed out. I had been signed on the B&H B2B site. Seems like B&H doesn't offer Hikvision through their B2B channel, which is interesting.
 
Thank you for the suggestions! I ended up springing for an LTS CMIP3C42WB-M (black, 4mm focal length). I like that it's LTS, which I think means less potential for trouble with firmware upgrades or possible NVR (in)compatibility surprises. It's also almost identical to another model we already use, except for the color and focal length.
 
FYI - Annke brand typically has been selling Hikvision OEM .. so that could also be a source for cameras for a Hikvision OEM NVR
