Yes, but guessing you really meant to say 1/1.8"

Would like to hear from Mat, but it seems this camera is not sensitive to IR, so you must use the built in white light or add external lighting for it to work at night.

Apparently the camera plus light on full brightness consumes 9 watts. A typical camera with no light on might consume about 2-3 watts. IR usually adds a watt or 2, but as I mentioned, it doesn't appear to be equipped.

Quote from mrsleepi View quoted comment :
What does 1/1.2 sensors do?
I don't know why sensor size is given as a ratio instead of the actual size. 1/1.2" = 0.83"

The larger the sensor, the better low light capability. This is considered a pretty big sensor for a security camera and should perform well at night, but I have no experience with it.

I dislike the wide field of view. It's useful to see if something is around, but too wide to identify someone unless they get very close.

This model or FCD600¿???
This one, if you don't absolutely need 180 degree fov. Or, if you can afford NCD800, go with that. There's a huge difference in low light performance of these NC/ AC series cameras vs others due to much larger sensor.

Would you recommend a mix or should I do all NC800 or AC800?
I went for a mix because there are areas where I'd want to have better IR vision. Although these NC cameras have great low light performance, specially with on board lights, I'd prefer cameras with better IR vision in areas where it gets absolute dark

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

a few notes on this camera

Looks like it has white light LEDs, not IR LEDs .. so it may not be able to go into IR mode.

Which should be OK if you have enough white light around .. ( street lights, .. etc )

This is a Hikvision OEM camera, and most of those meet specs well so this should work well with Hikvision NVRs than can handle the resolution and bandwidth, as well as 3rd party NVRs / VMS ( like Blue Iris ).

Remember most IP PoE cameras do not come with PSE ( Power Sourcing Equipment ) .. many prefer a PoE switch for this.

Remember for best results you want to mount this to reduce the chances of water ingress .. ( look at ipcamtalk for notes on this topic .. hint drip loops, di-electric gel, coax seal or plumbers silicone stretch tape, and .. )

Great price for a 1/1.2" sensor 👍👍
Thanks @MicahJames .. definitely a good deal on a 1/1.2" in my book

Quote from tayninh View quoted comment :
Any good deal on 16 channels NVR that handles Dahua cameras well mat2000?
Hi Tayninh

For a Dahua OEM NVR I'd look for EmpireTecAndy at ipcamtalk .. should be able to find a reference there to his Amazon store front also ..

Otherwise, hard lately to find NVR deals

I think a lot of ipcamtalk member prefer to go the Used business class PC + Blue Iris + PoE switch

note, btw this is a Hikvision OEM camera .. so the Dahua NVR will provide limited support to the advanced features of the camera.
( need to double check the ONVIF versions supported .. )

Quote from MadPup View quoted comment :
Amazon reviews [amazon.com]
Thanks @MadPup

Funny, some reviews ( example a lot of the 1-star ones ) clearly do not know what they are talking about .. ( they're new to PoE cameras for example and expected this camera to be standalone and not needing to run a cat5e/cat6 cable to it .. )

Quote from tharepairguy View quoted comment :

Hi Therepairguy

the 4MP 1/1.8" sensor cameras are still very good, even compared to this one.

the 8MP 1/1.2" sensor cameras that have come out, clearly do much better than the 8MP 1/1.8" sensor model cameras.


Quote from luniz97 View quoted comment :
anyone know how well this plays with synology?
HI @luniz97

From a basic recording point, this should work as it meets specs well.

For the more advanced features ( detection features ), my guess is the synology may not support them as well as we'd like - however, I really am not 100% certain - so you'll want to double check that.

Quote from kherbinoskie View quoted comment :
What's the Qnap QVR compatibility?
Hi @Kherbinoskie,

I would expect similar on this as mentioned for luniz97 ...

Do double check the ONVIF levels on the Qnap and this camera .. should at least work for the basic compatibility

Quote from fawzi View quoted comment :
I bought 5 of them and I can give you a good idea what to expect. Motion detection records on any movement and not human/cars
Thanks @fawzi, repped

Quote from mrsleepi View quoted comment :
What does 1/1.2 sensors do?
HI Mrsleepi

Larger sensor than most of the 8MP cameras we see posted here .. thus it will do better in low light image capture.

Quote from pandy00 View quoted comment :

Anyone know how Annke's return policy is?
HI @Pandy00 ..

Great question .. Annke's return policy .. would be nice to see a price match at Amazon .. I'd feel a lot better with that return policy.

Hopefully others who have used Annke recently can help us with this question.


Quote from suepafly View quoted comment :
Haven't tried these but I have a failing Reolink I need to replace. I only went with Reolink because of pricing (switching 8 older BNC cameras at once was expensive). Thanks!
Hi @suepafly

Did you run new cat5e/6 cables ?
Are the cables CCA or copper wired ?

Remember to trouble shot how they were installed.

If you live in a lightening area, CCTV / IP PoE cameras can get fried by nearby hits.

Reolink Cameras seem to work best with Reolink NVRs.

Many are using the Reolink cameras that meet rtsp specs with Blue Iris or similar .. if you go that route you can mix Hikvision OEM, Reolink, and other cameras. ..

Quote from MBis View quoted comment :
Would these work then with Hikvision nvr?
Hi Mbis,

Yes .. these should work .. double check resolution and bandwidth on the NVR .. as well the tier level the NVR supports. Chances are older NVRs will not support the new advanced features ..

Quote from heiNey View quoted comment :
Similar question, I have the lorex nvr from Costco that was on sale in September 2022. Would this work with that? Tried looking it up, but couldn't find an answer.
Quote from ronlee00 View quoted comment :
I'm in the same boat but while i'm a newbie, i'm pretty sure Lorex is a dahua underneath and Annke is a hkvision underneath so i'd suspect it's a no.

Would be great if i'm wrong.
Yes ronlee and heiNey ..

Most of the Lorex kits are Dahua OEM of recent years ..

If the NVR supports ONVIF you can set the channel to ONVIF and the camera to ONVIF and get the basics to work.

The advanced features may not.

Remember to double check the bandwidth the NVR supports and is using .. you may need to lower fps on some of the more affordable NVRs.

Quote from HarryS4062 View quoted comment :
ONVIF is the unifying protocol. So long as the cameras and NVR support ONVIF, they are compatible across brands. I have a setup with a Dahua NVR and a Anke camera (not this model) that work well together. In fact Anke was autodetected with only password needed to be entered.
Almost all ANKEs I have seen support ONVIF. The same is not true though for Reolink

As regards this camera, I believe "Nighchroma" is achieved by turning on those two small white lights which may or may not work for everyone. In my case I turned it off as it could be disturbing to the neighbors and have it set to just the IR LEDs. With the IR LEDs the nigh vision is not as good. I wont say poor, but even a FOSCAM does better than the ANNKEs for regular nightvision. Of course turning on the White light makes a big difference.
Thanks Harry, and repped.

No, strangely the house is new (3 years old) but they terminated Cat5 using BNC adapters/power at both ends.

Are the cables CCA or copper wired ?
Copper I believe, they weren't super flexible like copper clad

Remember to trouble shot how they were installed.
It could be failing because of the wiring, they are mounted super high and maybe my crimper missed a pin - I have since bought a new crimper. The reason I'm open to the change of camera is because I don't love the night vision on the Reolinks, I'm interested to see how Nightchroma will look.

I went back to Blue Iris (after not owning security cameras for 6 years) because the DVR that came with our home was pretty horrible and had no real branding and no access outside of hdmi viewing. The Reolinks work well in Blue Iris, so long as you manually enable RTSP/ONVIF in settings using their pc app - they were disabled by default on my cameras.

Editted so it wouldn't quote the entire post

So no IR means you have to rely on the white led on camera for better night vision? Street lights aren't too bright around my area and I currently have a Costco Lorex system that uses IR at night. They're pretty useless when the IR is set to off at night.
