Hikvision IPC-D140 vs DS-2CD2142FWD-I

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm looking to install between 6 and 8 dome cameras externally under the soffits in a domestic system (I've got a large area to cover). The Hikvision IPC-D140 looks like it will do the job, but I've noticed that the specs of the more expensive DS-2CD2142FWD-I are almost identical. Does anyone know what the extra expense buys you and whether it's worth it? The only differences I can see are more motion detection options, which might be useful, and support for internal storage, which I don't think I'll need.

 

The spec sheets I'm looking at are here:

I'm new to this sort of thing but it looks like the: DS2CD2142FWDI(W)(S) is better all round.

WDR is in the camera so looks like it does not rely on digital help like the IPC-D140, it has more frames per second, better motion detection, on board storage (SD Card), wireless capabilities etc.

 

If you are fitting the camera in difficult lighting conditions the DS-2CD2142FWD-I (W)(S) would probably be the better option (even with the extra cost involved) but otherwise I guess it depends upon weather you want/need the extra spec.

 

Just my opinion but I'd say if you can afford it go for the DS-2CD2142FWD-I (W)(S). If cost is important fit the DS-2CD2142FWD-I (W)(S) where you might have difficult lighting conditions only. Or buy one of each try them both out then decide on the rest.
