Hikvision puts all the strictly video stream related settings under the Video section. When setting up a camera, the areas I am most interested in are the video and image settings. I also created an ‘Operator’ account for my QNAP NAS which I use as my DIY NVR. System>User Management> User List: I created some view-only ‘User’ accounts for my smartphone and tablet.System>Maintenance>System Service>Hardware> Enable IR Light check box: It was on by default.I changed this over to GMT and set the correct time. System>System Settings>Time Settings: Even though this is an original Hikvision camera for the US/UK markets, the default time zone was Beijing.Changing the static IP address will trigger a reboot of the camera. There is a helpful button that can test whether your desired IP address is already in use. Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot, up to 128 GBīasic Settings>TCP/IP>LAN>IPv4 Address: I changed it to match the rest of my IP cameras. TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, RTP, RTSP, RTCP, PPPoE, NTP, UPnP, SMTP, SNMP, IGMP, 802.1X, QoS, IPv6, Bonjour ONVIF (PROFILE S, PROFILE G), PSIA, CGI, ISAPI Other key features are the 4MP sensor, on-board WiFi, on-board microphone and SD card support for local storage.įor a key to deciphering the rather cryptic Hikvision model naming system, refer to our Hikvision IP Camera Guide. The standout feature of this camera is the true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature indicated by the ‘WD’ in its model number DS-2CD2542F WD-IWS. The cable with the green connector block is the input/output for the alarm triggers and the audio. There is a separate power input plug if you do not have PoE in your installation location. So bear this in mind while deciding how to install the camera. But the PoE module is outside the camera. The DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS is a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) camera. Could this be the reason for the weak IR output illumination I observed? More on that later. But in this case, the foam seems to be doing too well a job, and limiting the output of the LEDs. The purpose of the foam is to prevent the Infrared illumination from intruding into the lens. One potential issue is that the LEDs seem to be partially obstructed by the soft foam around the lens. Its worth noting that the LEDs seem to be half the size of the standard camera IR LEDs. There are only 10 Infrared LEDs placed in a semi-circle around the lens. You can see the on-board microphone which is labelled MIC, the button that does double duty as the RESET and WPS for quick WiFi setup. The fully metal body gives the camera a very solid feel. It has a low-profile form that lends itself to being fixed unobtrusively. The DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS is much smaller in size than most other Hikvision cameras.
