dcam 0 Posted June 15, 2015 Does anyone know if Hikvision still makes VGA ip cameras, I have a few small storage areas ( 2Mx3M) that really don't need HD cameras , they should be about half the price of a HD camera, or even another manufacturer that will record with motion detection on a hikvision NVR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted June 15, 2015 The market for sub-MP IP cams isn't very strong any more. The Hik 2CD2012 1.3MP has a 704x576 stream, but it costs nearly the same as the 2032, and even more at some sites because the demand is lower. Most Hiks have a lower resolution substream as well. You won't find decent quality IP cams for much less than the Hiks in any resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcam 0 Posted June 16, 2015 Ok Thanks, it seems such a waste , only a few years ago you wouldn't dream of putting a hd camera in a tiny little store room, mostly because of the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is it a waste? they dont make the vga cameras because it would cost more to do so as there is little demand...like max said, just pull a substream or 1.3mp stream...these cameras are already way less than half the price that you were paying a few years ago for quality vga cameras. Or just by an older used camera.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, the Hik 3MP cams today cost 1/3 what my first 1MP cams did not many years ago, and have a lot more capability. Hard to beat that much cam for the price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
