    Hello

     

    Do you guys have any info about MTBF of CCTV cameras?

     

    I have found info about Hikvision 4 series and PTZ cameras, both ~100.000-106.000h

    For example some old ACTi TCM-1231 cameras had only 35.500h

    Mobotix - 80.000h (they was showing this number on one of their trainings)

     

    I'm interested how this looks like in other brands, like Avigilon, SONY, AXIS.

    great post!

     

    Is there a version available for mac as well?

     

    I'm using and selling this software

    So, here are some fast facts about iVMS-5200:

    It has client-server architecture

    Only Windows version (server suggested)

    5200 can support 3rd party cameras (that's why it's paid software I think)

    Active Directory support

    It supports more complex e-maps

    More alarm pop-ups

    Alarm windows and divisions

    Business Intelligence package - you can make global heat maps by getting data from all heat map and ppl counting cameras. POS integration.

    Panel for easy health check of all devices

    Hikvision Access control integration module

    Global Positioning system for mobile DVRs and Personal DVRs

    Redundant server support

    Why did you test under different light and time?

     

    Because it's like 6 meters high and there is only one mounting and one ethernet cable. Difference in time is like an hour or so. Only difference is the lighting on this sign.

    Damn, I hate it when I try to make honest comparison test, standing on -10oC freezing my ass off and everyone is suspecting some kind of manipulation or marketing action

     

    Here is live view of DS-2CD4065F-AP camera, almost same sensor (1/1.8"), you can check how it works at night.

    Here is snapshot from this camera made around midnight, cloudy sky, no moon:

    EDIT:

    Here is 4K video, not night, but dusk:

    TNRLnC7mVEw

     

    This model that I have don't support H.265, but there is H.264+.

    I'm still waiting for 4K with H.265 and 12MPixel box. Fortunately Hikvision NVRs support H.265 recording AND 4K resolution display, I mean new I series, like DS-7608NI-I2

    It might work from inside if:

    -you have good or very good lightning outside

    -you can find a way to minimize reflections of/from the window (or example, an indoor bulb/TV at night)

     

    BOX cameras can be mounted outside using a dedicated case, with or without IR.

     

    I found that 4K cameras from Hikvision have better low light performance than standard FullHD cameras. Have you seen my last uploads?

    Maybe Dahua will use same sensors?

    Comparison video, to show low light performance of new 4K Hikvision cameras:

    As you can see, 1/1.7" sensor is a rly good choice

     

    Also, here is live video of 6MP DS-2CD4065F:

    also outstanding night vision. Those are my new favorite cams now

    I am a bit confused about the exacq licensing scheme in regards to the exacqVision Virtual (vmware) server.

     

    I have installed the server and it allows me to use one IP camera in evaluation mode. So far so good.

     

    Now the question is, if I want to add 4 cameras what licenses should I buy? Will it work with start licenses or only enterprise camera licenses?

     

    Do I only need the camera licenses or must I but a server license too?

     

    The system requirements list "exacqVision Enterprise Server license version 5.0 or later", so I don't want to plan for just camera licenses and then realize I need a separate server license too.

     

    Can anybody help?

     

    Thanks.

     

     

    You need 1x exacqVision Enterprise Server license

    + Exacq Pro licence for every camera you want to connect.

    no, according to their site theor release a new one:

    http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_212_i5425.html

     

    Just upgraded my old unit to 3.3.4 firmware and now it supports 80 Mbps incoming

    So it looks like it's new firmware. But to be sure, I would just order NVR with newest firmware on board already installed, because I have some maple unit (it hase some bonus functionality), so it could be a little different than those available on market.

    I bought some new Hikvision 4MP cameras (DS-2CD2042WD-I) with firmware v5.3.3 on them, so I tried to use them with the Hikvision 7104NI-SL/W but they don't show any video. The main screen shows no video on it, even though it's added to the NVR.

     

    I activated the cameras using SADP v2.2.3.6 and changed the default password to Password1, set a static IP on the camera, and try to add it using the static ip I assigned, management port of 8000, username admin and password Password1. When I hit add, the NVR tries to connect to it but after 1 minute, it says disconnected but the NVR can read the camera model # and firmware number. The strange thing is when I use the search button to find cameras with the NVR, it says 0 channels are available.

     

    I can connect to the camera directly via Internet Explorer and I can see the streaming video with the correct credentials.

     

    I have another machine from Hikvision (7608NI-E2/8P), and it works fine with the camera, so I know the camera works but it just won't work with the 7104NI-SL/W. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm out of ideas and I'm afraid that this particular NVR doesn't work with it and I need to get another model. I'm looking to use the cameras to just stream without any recording, so I'm looking for the cheapest NVR that will allow me to stream to a TV/monitor.

     

    Check that you have enough spare bandwidth on this NVR, also, un-check H.264+ in this camera. Old firmware on NVR doesn't support it.

    If you disconnect from the nvr and put a POE Injector on the camera cable then you can connect your router and see your camera

     

    The Dahua NVR built in POE ports are like switches.. why can't you directly plug a router to it and access it via wifi after setting router to 10.1.1.1?

     

    Because it's not like switch, it's camera-per-port, same thing in Hikvision PoE NVRs. Check if there is something like "virtual host", this will make cameras visible on same IP address as NVR but different port.

    Like NVR is 192.0.0.1, 1 IP camera will be visible as 192.0.0.1:65001 from web, but still inside NVR it will be 10.1.1.1

    I am installing a small installation of 12 cameras. Three to monitor the front of a store that's configured like a big U wher the store is long and narrow by each leg of the U and there are actually other stores in the center. Anyways it has a hallway about 90 ft deep and 4ft wide. Which hikvision camera should i use to monitor the length of the hallway or is it too long and i need two?

    In general any reason to use dome or bullet or just mounting preference?

    What would you recommend in front

     

    271053_1.jpg

     

    All Hikvision cams have corridor mode - you can rotate the view 90 degrees, so you have 9:16 aspect ratio - just like the picture you sent. But of course you have to turn camera, that is why dome camera will be better.

    You mount it on ceiling and rotate sensor 90 degree and then enable corridor mode in camera.

     

    90 ft - it's something like 30m right? And what do you want to see on the end of this corridor? A person, or face?

    I think min. ress should be 2.0 Mpixel, and 4mm lens.

    Sorry, I forgot about this thread

     

    Ok. So you can do something like this:

     

    1. Put VSPlayer 7.1.1 on USB stick

    It doesn't need administrator rights, it doesn't need to be installed, just run it.

    You can download newest version from here:

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6833159/soft/VSPlayer%207.1.1.zip

     

    This software will also show video analytic "frames", like from face detection, tracking, virtual line etc.

    You can make digital zoom, watch different cams at same time, sync. playback and so on.

     

    2. Using local output and mouse from NVR

    Just add files to download, click export and then mark "Player".

    This player is rly basic, but it works.

    Thought I would start a separate thread for this camera so it doesn't get confused with the other 4K Hikvision cameras that are starting to come out.

     

    http://bkeesti.ee/upload/Hikvision/DS-2CD4585F.pdf

     

    This camera can record video at up to 4096 x 2160 at 30 fps.

     

    From initial reports it appears that this particular camera may only cost around $327 or slightly more.

     

    Has anyone been able to try this camera yet or obtain any info about it like the release date, etc.?

     

    It would be nice to see some night time shots from this camera as soon as they are available.

     

    Man, stop getting prices from some Asian websites, those are fake.

    I've got dome version of this camera (indoor) and it costs $1258 MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price), even if you get super discount It wont be even close to 327 USD.

    They put 1/1.7" sensor inside those 4k cameras, so the lens part probably cost more than 327USD.

     

    Maybe if you buy it using "smart-try" program, but you can get only get 2 cameras.

     

    You might be on to something here. I'm going by the pricing that NiToNi has provided in the previous Hikvision 4K camera thread and he has listed this :

     

    http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.4qnN2v&id=44906942673&ns=1#detail

     

    And looking at that url very closely, I don't think it is for the DS-2CD4585F-I(Z)(H) as the highest resolution listed in the link above is only 1920x1080.

     

    NiToNi, do you have a reliable link for the DS-2CD4585F-I(Z)(H)?

     

    The one you posted in the previous thread appears to be for a different camera unfortunately.

     

    I work very close to Hikvision, like FOR Hikvision (kind off) right now, so I think my prices are accurate

    I have dedicated PC with Hikvision PCNVR ivms 4200 .. No storage server installed .

     

    I am recording 2 (3mp ) cam at high quality . I installed 3tb WD purple drive . I can record about 70 days about 10hr/day .

     

    I'd like to record 140 days or so , I want to add another hard drive to the PC 3TB - so I will have two 3TB drives (6 TB total ) for recording .

     

    However , I can't find any info if I can use 2 drives with ivms 4200 . I would hope that it will write to HD 1 and when it full it will move to HD 2 ... eventually overwriting HD 1 again .

     

    Do you think is will work ? Can PCNVR figure out that it has 2 drives to use ?

     

    Do I need to build somehow one logical drive out of two physical drives using windows ( not even sure if I can do it in windows ) ?

     

    Thank you

     

    And why old PCNVR? Why not iVMS Client + Storage Server? You can have like 64 HDDs this way.
