Just a FYI, there is a restocking fee at Wrightwood. They call it a "15% shipping and handling fee". See very bottom here: http://wrightwoodsurveillance.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=6

They're released for a reason. Which may or may not apply to any one particular user.

I wonder if there is a way to contact Aliexpress itself. Stuff like this would tend to hurt business with their other sellers, so they might have some incentive to work with the seller and you to get this resolved. And did you use a credit card? Could you dispute charges with credit card company?

Interested to see this comparison as well. Thanks.

I do not know. I wonder the same thing. My friend just ordered the 2232, so we will find out I guess. From everything I have read, they are the same. In fact, the specs for the 3232 are slightly off. It is capable of 20 fps at 3MP. All of the specs state 15. Where did you and your friend order their cameras? Thanks.

I have a hard time finding a hik 3232 camera. I do see a 2232 camera on the Hikvision website. What is the difference?

4mm is about 75 degrees, so if you want close to 90 degrees you probably something around 3mm or less. 6mm is about 50 degrees. 12mm is about 23 degrees. (at least on the Hikvision cameras I looked at.)

Good call, JoeyJoey (and Buellwinkle). Setting it to trip on motion will help a lot. Thanks

Could you explain CBR and VBR? And you need a name and password for the link.

Are you talking about Avigilon Control Center (ACC) Client 5? http://avigilon.com/support-and-downloads/for-software/software-updates-and-downloads/

Thanks, I just tried that, it is a bit more accurate, than my method. (I think my estimate of 9 minute files was just a bit high, they are really somewhere between 8 and 9 minutes. But, I got similar results with the Hikvision disk calculator. It said my one camera could record for 19 days on a 1 TB drive. So that means just over two days if you were recording on 1 TB drive space with 8 cameras.

I would like to be able to use the "Unread Posts" button for a topic I'm interested in, and just go to the first unread post. I can hover over the buttion, but it does not seem active for me, that is, I can't click it and go to unread posts. How can I fix this? Using Chrome.

I got the Hikvision iVMS4200 PCNVR program working on my desktop. Set aside separate drive, formated and allocated it to the program. Started recording continuously, it looks like it's creating a 249MB file every nine minutes. Just set up one camera to be monitored, my Hikvision 12mm. But a single camera would "only" have recording of about 25 days on a 1TB space. What if there were eight cameras? You could only record about three days? file size ------ 249 MB file length ------ 9 min min in day -- 1440 file/day ------ 160 MB/day ---39,840 GB/day ------- 39.84 Days/TB ------ 25.1

Buellwinkle also posted this review of Hikvision's NVR-like browser capabilities. http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1729#more-1729

Yes, it's a HP Slimline s5-1554, and has 1TB SATA drive. 800GB are free now.
