slowmod01 0 Posted September 5, 2013 sorry to double-post, but maybe this will have better luck here.. is there a such thing as a semi-decent lower end ip camera that has both both network and bnc? I'm looking for $200-300 range with night vision, 1-2MP, preferably dome. dahua / qsee / or similar would work. I can find them all day long in the $500 range, just not lower, as most sites fail to list complete specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted September 17, 2013 The Dahua HFW-3200C (2MP) or 3300C (3MP) have an analog BNC output. I've never used the one on mine, but you can enable or disable it in the firmware. ETA: I plugged in my analog monitor input to the 3300C, and it looks pretty good. It's the same overall view as whatever the camera's set at, but with some trimmed off all around. The trimming is worse on widescreen modes, of course, since the analog output is non-widescreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowmod01 0 Posted January 6, 2016 ok, I am back on this again. I hit a dead end last time as my hybrid nvr ran out of camera spots, I have since moved to BI and have two analog domes to replace that also need to interface with an in-wall monitor. can anyone recommend a decent priced dome MP camera with a bnc and/or composite output? the two referenced above were bullets, these will be within reach of a normal height person.

myiicu 0 Posted January 10, 2016 What is your budget? Many manufactures have outdoor, vandal rated IP domes with test connector for bnc/composite video... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted January 10, 2016 Hikvision's 26xx and 27xx series (varifocal bullet and varifocal dome) have analog output. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowmod01 0 Posted January 11, 2016 would prefer to stay around the $300 range if possible. on those Hikvision's, is that a test plug on the board for the bnc? what few pics I have found showing the camera with the cables online are only showing network and power pigtail.

slowmod01 0 Posted January 11, 2016 awesome, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myiicu 0 Posted January 12, 2016 The test connector is normally a temporary analog connection for the installer to test/configure/focus the camera with the cover open. The video test monitor connector supplied with the Hikvision DS-2CD27XX series dome cameras is only about 8" long. You will have to extend this cable assembly a little longer if you want the BNC to terminate outside the dome enclosure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted January 12, 2016 Ooops, sorry about that... I didn't read that you wanted to use the analog output all the time, so you need the cable connected. You might have to do some hacking then, yes. It can be done with 2CD2732 (dome), but forget about the 2CD2632 (bullet). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowmod01 0 Posted January 15, 2016 I figured it would require some modification to plumb the wires through, but that's not a big deal. got a DS-2CD2732F-IS ordered. thanks for the recommendation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myiicu 0 Posted January 16, 2016 The video test monitor connector is the two pin connector at the top (one o'clock position) CVBS on PCB. If extending the test connector is not desired, route bare RG59 cable thru cable gland, into bottom dome threaded opening and install your BNC connector via compression or crimp. When terminating your BNC connectors inside the dome, don't forget to insulate the assembly and take care with placement so you don't damage your lens, or move your lens settings when you close the cover...

slowmod01 0 Posted January 20, 2016 got the camera (thing is massive) and got everything hooked up and functional on both the svc output and ip feed, only question is should the image be black & white on the service feed or did I miss a setting somewhere? IP stream looks normal / good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowmod01 0 Posted January 21, 2016 not sure why it displayed in b&w originally, but when I actually installed it today the svc output was in full color. accomplished exactly what I was looking for, again thanks for the input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myiicu 0 Posted January 21, 2016 Nice install. The IR cut filter gets stuck sometimes, so a power up/down cycle resets them usually... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted January 22, 2016 Good job! Yeah, maybe the IR filter was stuck, or the output of the camera is PAL/NTSC and you were first using another screen which was the wrong format? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
