Looking to install Hikvision ColorVu at my home, mixture of 2MPs and 4MPs. Any alternatives should I be considering? Will be running POE with a total of 8 cameras (3 indoor and 5 outdoor).
Side note... how to decipher the Hikvision NVR codings? Q, K etc. The only one I catch is the P which is how many PoE there is.
Hi, Hik ColorVu IP PoE Cam price as below:
Turret 4MP DS-2CD2347G3E-L - RM550
Turret 2MP DS-2CD2327G3E-L - RM430
Bullet 4MP DS-2CD2T47G3E-L - RM580
Bullet 2MP DS-2CD2T27G3E-L - RM500
For 8ch NVR, malaysia Distributor only take in Q series
DS-7608NI-Q2/8P - RM650
Diff from K series is jz the output bandwidth Q is 80mbps, K is 160mbps.
80mbps / 8 means 1 cam 10mbps, good enuf even for 8MP (4k) cam which use around 7680kbps at H.265 codec.
Unless ur cam is H.264, then K is more suitable.
All come with 2yrs warranty.

Besides, ColorVu IP, Hikvision also got Coax ColorVu,
Price is a lot cheaper.
5MP ColorVu TUrboHD is RM210 only.
For house use, actually very sufficient.
And if you pair with Acusense TurboHD Recorder, the Motion detection alert will be a lot more accurate (around 90%) because it will only detect Human/Vehicle
