Excellent work. So what kind of things can we expect to unlock / improve with these tweaks? On the 2cd2032 for example, just trying to think of practical applications

If you like 2 series cameras, maybe wait for a DS-2CD2052I bullet

5.0 Mpixel, 20fps

 

Is that this one? :

I've checked the link, "Likvision" for the manufacturer lol!! Something doesn't seem right with it, firmware doesn't look too good and the low light performance seems off. Hopefully Hikvision will release one which I'd deffo be interested in.

You could buy 10 x 2cd2032-I's for that price lol. I may just stick with the 2cd's to be honest, cracking little cameras. Cheers to the chap who's been supplying info and sample footage so far though. I'll still keep my eye on the topic just out of curiosity

Not sure if I'm too impressed initially. Perhaps its just Youtube's compression engine but the clarity doesn't seem there. Probably have a better idea once a review is completed and some more footage uploaded. There doesn't appear to be a link to the original video file?

The birds look very tastey though

Can anyone confirm a reliable AliExpress seller for this cam? Looking to purchase two, shipped to UK

The suspense is driving me bananas!

Just got them, will test them and maybe post some videos this weekend.

 

Any comments or video to share?

Are you talking about those cams?

OOOOOOO, how did you get hold of these? Eagerly awaiting your photos & videos of them!!

Looks awesome, cant wait!! Anyone hazard a guess how many millions of pounds / dollars on of these bad boys is gonna cost?

Looks a lot different from the front. The IR area looks bigger, as does the lens housing in the middle, amongst other things.

Looks like Hikvision are concentrating on the 2cd-2032 as a sort of flagship model, trying to improve it etc. Just wish they'd start making them in Black as spray painting them is a pain in the ass!!

looks to me like they're rebooting based on the ping output.

It will survive in the cold..look at the specs...

The issue is how well the pir sensor will perform outdoors...its not all that sensitive...

You are doing this all wrong...just use a camera with an alarm input and use an outdoor pir sensor..

Looks like it could be back to my original plan of buying a camera with an alarm input only to hide the camera away but set it to trigger a snapshot from the other cameras upon PIR activation. Have to hide the camera away as anything bigger than the 2cd2032 isn't useful to me.

Anyone used any particular PIRs with Hikvision before?

Its an option worth exploring I guess but was hoping for something that was more out of the box style or didn't require a knowledge of programming. Also needs to be outdoor too. Was wondering if I could just mount a DS-2CD2432F-IW in some sort of weather proof box. Not too sure if the PIR will work through glass or PVC though.

 

Thoughts?

 

It won't.

I guess I'd have to fabricate an enclosure that allowed the PIR and IR LED to petrude though thus not requiring glass. Not sure on everyone's thoughts about a DS-2CD2432F-IW surviving the cold (assuming I could keep it dry) ?

Just hand over the entire contents of your bank account and its yours

Think the issue could be that your average phone camera isn't designed to run 24/7 or weather & temperature resistant etc.

Hi,

Hopefully someone has come across this kind of thing before. Pretty fed up with the unreliability of motion dectect on the 2cd2032 cameras as we have a lot of moving shadows etc. so looking to use an outdoor PIR. Ideally i'd like a POE outdoor PIR that could send a message to my hikvision PCNVR to trigger alarm for movement and i'll get emails of the snapshots at alarm trigger time. However, looking around the only "smart PIR" system as they appear to be known I could find was a POE PIR made by a company called RedBeam or similar, looked great but then realized they were $3000 each! What is the best way to go about getting this to work with a standard PIR? Hikvision don't seem to make an outdoor camera with built in PIR so am I better off purchasing an outdoor camera with alarm input and wiring the PIR into that? I don't want to add any extra cams outside as the 2cd2032's are pretty well hidden so any additional PIR input camera would be hidden away and just purely used for the PIR to connect to so to speak. Anyone else set this kind of thing up before?

To anyone who's interested, I may have found some software that will do this called Amped Five (2012 version onwards). Still researching and trying to get a free trial of it to test.

Well, it is not required. But for all I care, if you do not even bother trying, I surely won't bother either wasting my time, since I am not the one interested.

Good luck, I am out of here.

Hi,

Thankyou very much for that. For your information I did actually try installing it.

EDIT: That software is in Spanish so no help whatsoever lol. Must be in English

 

The software is in english. The guide I linked you to is in spanish

Thanks for the info, I checked it out but it has no GUI which I think is really required for this kind of thing i.e previewing to check its working etc.

try

time.windows.com ntp port 123

Almost the same result.

 

"Almost" because time.windows.com does not even work from home.

 

I should have added that pool.ntp.org is pingable - both from the problem site and from home, whereas time.windows.com is not pingable from either site.

time.windows.com has never been reliable for me. I've always set servers to country.pool.ntp.org for example uk.pool.ntp.org

Check out safe motion:

But you will have to export all the video, and then process it. I think it will take you ages.

 

You do not have motion detection setup on the camera?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I'll check that software out. As mentioned previously the camera records continuously and I would like to go back and analyse the recorded footage for motion.

Hi All,

I have a 2cd2032 camera and have captured an attempted break in. The individual involved seemed to know exactly where he was going / what he was doing etc. so I want to see if he has been before to check out the property. My camera records to a windows server using the NFS method and is set to continuously record. I have around 6 weeks of previous footage. Is there any software out there that I can pop on my server that can analyse the previous recorded footage looking for motion detection (pixel based I assume) ? It's worth pointing out that the server's CPU sits around idling at the moment so anything CPU intense is not an issue.

Thanks in advance,

Brenning
