Thanks, what are the AC or VS versions? should I consider using the iVMS app on my phone over the hikconnect? Dan

Hi. Can you please tell me what Hikvision software I need to view all my Hikvision cameras and receive alarms to? I can access each individual camera's settings via browser but need to view all cameras on my laptop. There seem to be so many pieces of software it's all a bit confusing. I do...

Thanks for your reply. I currently have all event types armed day and night. I think what your suggesting is to sacrifice both day and night security by not having all event types used to trigger the lights. For instance if I had intrusion detection during day with light trigger off, I could...

Hi I go the new firmware for light ink Led light-triggered events, working great so far. The problem is I cant seem to find a way to turn this feature off during the day, I only need this on during night. I want to keep the same Event triggers and notifications during the day, just not the...

Thank you for pointing me to that, I think this could be my replacement for my current dome.

I dont know how well the Swan system works but I did once have the rather expensive Arlo pro 2 system. Dont be fooled by selling hype of heat sensor technology, as already been said its just PIR which is better that pixel based motion detection in many cases but is not fool proof. The Arlo uses...

Looking at that location I would think it would be fine to capture your car as long as its not too close, this is where you need to look at the FOV and distances. You will ultimately need to hook the camera up to a POE to get a live stream to see how it and make adjustments accordingly. A...

I used the data for my model. After getting the field of view ranges, the DORI distances, and could see how much others who have them could pan and tilt theirs, I was sold on these. If the mini bullets are high enough then no problems providing you don't get the dreaded spider webs made over...

According to the specs it should be able to do a 90 degree, Mine is about 75-degree pan. My camera is on a side wall covering the whole drive way.

It depends on your needs to be honest, what is it your hoping the set up will offer you? If you already have bullets there then you can just replace it with the ones you initially intended. I was going to install bullets but after some reading turrets kept coming up. I think as you installing...

The cameras your looking at only come in 2.8 or 4mm which is a shame, so 4mm was the one to go for in my case. 4mp is enough for detection, observation and recognition if the cameras are not mounted too far and too high up. Mine are 10 feet high, but If I could have had them in a dome version...

Looks like you have it all covered as far as trigging motion alerts. Ch1 looks nice for line crossing. Only thing you may be missing is cameras lower down to capture faces. I have a lower one at front door, a dome to get people approaching door, and at the back garden a PTZ. A PIR flood...

Domes are different to Turret cameras just to be clear. The dome cam is good for under door coves or ceilings and can have restrictions on its position but I have seen Hikvision allow its lens to have its orientation changed, they are vandal-proof. My non Hikvision Dome camera cant be placed on...

Hi I went with the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U) as its basically the same camera but much more neater, and not as easy to knock out of position. The Bullet version does have brighter whte light up to 40m instead of 30m for the turret. It always comes down to planning for where its installed as to...

Thank you.
