LaView 4MP 2K PoE Bullet Outdoor IP Camera (Refurbished) Expired

Quick look:

4MP dome - very small sensor 1/3" - recommend skipping it if you need low light performance. Looks like a Hikvision OEM.

2x 8MP bullets - look like Hikvision OEM cameras - see previous threads on it.

Saturn 8MP turret - Dahua OEM camera, see previous threads on it.

For the Saturn cameras, please see the following thread:

Hi JP2764

The ipcamtalk cameras iirc are Hikvision OEM products. They are reported to be good models.

When I was looking for camera Dahua was out with 2MP low light cameras before Hikvision so I went with Dahua and thus know the Dahua line better.

Judging from ipcamtalk members I think in general the Dahua OEM international models they are picking up are more popular, suspect due to slightly better perceived value.

Of course like comparing vehicles from say Honda, Nissan, and Toyota a lot depends on the particular model.



Hi JP2764,

Junction boxes / wall mounts are not included in the IP PoE camera packages, nor the NVR kits I have seen.

While kits may include a cable per camera included in the kit ( double check, sometimes they include a super cheap cable which you do not really want to use... sometimes they have decent cables which are riser rated and w/copper wires ),

Cameras may not have cables included.

Normally screws are included, however I often use longer and quality wood deck screws or the like to secure my cameras to a 2x4" behind the wall / soffit )

I'm ok with that as I like to run quality bulk cat5e/6 cable with AWG 23-24 solid copper wires to the camera locations.

See the various notes at ipcamtalk on cabling and installing.



Hi Jack -

Various ways to connect to these as they use IP standards ( rtsp ).

Hikvision OEM IVMS-4200 software is free for a PC
Dahua OEM SmartPSS software is free for a PC

you can also use 3rd party software, like Blue Iris .. or Tiny Cam Pro for mobile android devices.



Hi kyatobhiug

Gone are the days of running all sorts of software on insecure browsers. Just have to accept that the browser is not the universal interface for all products - in particular security camera feeds and controls.

If you want you can look at pale moon browser if you want a browser which works better with security cameras. ( hint - DO NOT use it for banking )



HI JP2764,

I like the Saturn line, and the 8MP turrent camera. Note, a number of ipcamtalk members are waiting for a 8MP turrent with a 1/1.8" sensor ( vs the 1/2.5" sensor in this one ).
For $100 I think it's a good camera to buy for daylight coverage. For night time the 2MP starlights still do better.
