Love these reviews. It's like having a mate pop round for a cuppa with a new bit of kit with the enthusiasm of a kid getting a new toy :-)

@Daitech, great presentation 👏. Love your comments on the lenses protection packaging film, which is supposed to be removed after installing, but before they come into service. We had problems with our professional cameras about a year after they were installed, and the view from each separate camera mysteriously became blurred (fogged) after a particular freezing cold night. The security engineer called out, only to find the plastic film was still on each camera. Yes, installers need to remember to remove this film once the cameras are fitted into service. Also, manufacturers could help by placing motifs on this film to remind the installers to remove this protection cover from the lenses before the cameras come into service. A two prong approach to ensure this protection film is removed once cameras are fitted saves multiple customer instigated call outs.

Hello. I have been waiting for a solution for my home replacing the old Varifocal HIK Cams and NVR. I love the form factor of these new cameras. I also love the fact that it contains many of the sensor/AI functionality. I am curious when the night video is going to be published? Reaching out across the Pond in the USA...
Thanks for your most excellent videos!!

Considering buying 3 of these after seeing one in operation but have reservations. The panoramic view covering 180 degrees is superb but detailed facial recognition is pixilated compared to a single lens hikvision 8mp colorvu which was operating alongside. Comments on the Internet suggest that the panoramic has two 4mp lenses to make a total of 8mp over the wider picture. The lenses in the panoramic also have the same specifications as 4mp colorvu single lens cameras and not the 8mp versions. Please can you comment on this matter as the cameras will be required for panoramic and facial detail uses? Thanks.

Why would they not design the mounting plate so that you can turn the camera left to right to make small adjustments? Seems crazy not to provide that feature.

[jonathansoriano]

Would love to see this mounted on a vehicle.

Hi, can you do a video with best settings for hikvision camera, so there is no flickering but running full HD smooth?

[alberthall]

Can you get and receive audio over the network cable without connecting the separate audio line? how much light is needed for ColorVu?

[kimoyitsolutionschannel]

How far is the detection? Does it also works the same with acusense camera with deep learning technology?

[utterlyexiged]

With the turret mounted on a ceiling, do the connections fit inside the top of the camera base?, or would i require a wall mount bracket? (or a hole made in the ceiling)

[Teleman]

Does that HIK Vision software work now on Macs??

[Votoyar]

Thank you for the 265+ tip. The video quality is better now.

[iwspsz]

Can the light in the camera be turned on only after motion is detected in the designated area?

[cemaranetfeedback]

Does this work on milestone xprotect without additional plugin?

[norbertkosalkiewicz]

Thank you for this video with professional presentation. This camera is not 8mp. These are two 4mp lenses. Can you recommend any best 8mp colorvu acusense with mic and led alarm? Thank you. Regards.

[daniellukyanov]

Very informative video, thank you! From what I understand, this camera is fully functional with just POE? Or do you need the 12 V power to it as well? Asking because I want to get some of these, but only have a cat 5E cable at each camera location

[ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΣ-βσ]

Can i connect this camera to AXPRO alarm system?

[bongoozy]

Hi Thanks for the information. I have 2 these cameras but the white light doesn't work at night though I have set the sensitivity to 7 and I can't see the supplement light icon for the cameras on the mobile app. I have other colorVu 4K cameras that are working OK.
