Hi Paul I've just installed 4 of these hybrid cameras at my mums flat. They work perfectly fine during the day but at night they are slightly wavey still good picture quality but I can see speckles in the Image. Could this be a ground loop problem?

Can I ask what height you must install these ? I’m doing a system for a friend in a yard and only place to put these is on a 6 foot fence ? Is that any good ?

[@CCTVSystemsUK]

@albertsteptoe3710 Hi, 8 - 14 feet is the recommended height for these units. Regards Paul @CCTVSystemsUK

Does the colorvu do colour at night? If so which setting should it be on?

[@CCTVSystemsUK]

Hi, Go either into the camera menu or the DVR / HVR display menu and select "White Light". This will bring the camera supplement light on at night with a smart hybrid camera. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul @CCTVSystemsUK

@@CCTVSystemsUK so my installer is a complete twat, they installed the smart hybrid light colorvu camera in my yard and the cheaper one in the front of my house- i thought they conned me as I couldnt figure out why the one in front of my house has such poor quality compared to the back of the house. And when they came to give me a quote and have a look first i told them i want the better quality one in the road as this is where the main security point is and even if they werent sure why didnt they ask when they were installing? *sigh* Is the wiring the same of various hikvision turret cameras and can they do just a swop of the actual camera heads or do they need to take the wiring that they installed with each camera and swop it around? Complete twats and now they dodging my calls. Typical South Africa customer service and here you are in the UK and responded way faster than them. Love your videos btw!

Great review. Just fitted 3x 8mp varifocal and 1x 5mp 2.8mm Hikvision cameras on to a 7204 HTHI DVR . Having trouble with replaying on holiday with 8mp freezing. Wondering if baud rate (6100) too high . 5mp camera ok remotely. System is also eating a 4tb hard drive at the rate of every 3 days recording? Seems strange .

Did you sort it?

Great video, I just purchased these cameras for my home, I am struggling to adjust the motion detection to enable the smart light to activate, so looking forward to your next video, thanks.

Glad you liked the video 👍 Have you watched this video yet? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5uQm3SgmtyKrdksi=0A0h2ITdsYQecnl6 It's an older video but certainly still relevant. Regards, Paul CCTV Systems UK

I found an issue that if you cannot set line crossing detection across more than one hikvision camera then you get an error message “Not enough resource for human body analysis engine”

My neighbour has newer cameras than me so they put in a smart hybrid bullet camera and i can see it from my 1080p dome camera which is set to be b&w at night but their camera shows up on my screen as a light shining but when i go outside their camera doesn’t have a light on, just the red little light. Why does it look like there is a white light on at night on my screen- is it the hybrid technology? What can i do from my camera to avoid the glare?

[@Horizon301.]

It’s the infra red I believe

It would be nicer to see actual footage and audio examples for a more informed conclusion of the camera/s given the different scenarios with their different lighting options
