Great video, thanks. These will definitely benefit from the LED activating on motion, particularly in domestic applications.
Thank you and point taken 😊
Look at this firmware version -
www.securityperth.com.au/security-cameras-perth/hikvision/colorvu-fixed-turret-network-camera
scroll down for the firmware button "5.6.2_200407"
"With firmware V5.6.2.build200407, ColorVu white LED light can be triggered by 5 events:
motion detection, intrusion detection, line crossing detection, unattended baggage detection,
object removal detection.
"
Hope that helps you.
@@DavidMcGallTV is that firmware for a dvr or camera .?
@@DavidMcGallTV Thank you so much. The firmware's link in your comment allowed me to light the ColorVu leds only on selected events. Works with DS-2CD2347G1-LU & DS-2CD2T47G1-LU
@@DVSLTD have you got the firmware for the G2 led settings for line crossing sorted yet
hi is there a soft wear update for led lights to come on when an event is triggered ( line crossing ) instead of them staying on all night showing everyone you have 6 cameras around your house lit up like a christmas tree . DS-2CD2347G2-L / 4MP / 2.88mm Hikvision colourvue fixed turret camera .
There is Wayne I have the firmware on my 2cd2347g2-lu and ds-2cd2087g2-lu and it works great with either motion, line, or intrusion u can set it either off then on when triggered or on at what ever brightness u like say %10 then on full when triggered. Only problem is it does this day and night still trying to figure out how to have it only a night time not in the day as well .. lol
Thanks for the educational bids.
Recently bought the colorvu and very happy with them.
We curenrtly are using them for watching POS cash in a Nightclub dark environment and it allows for a very clear color image of the denominations. Very helpful and far better than anything we used in the past, even without the supplimental led white light. Considering placing outdoor for the parking area, I'm curious what the estimated lifespan is of the LED lights though. 2000hrs at 100%? And could these be replaced if they fail, or would it require replacing the entire cam?
Thanks Dave greet video
Great video and perfect timing as just received mine. look forward to future setup guides. Cheers
Price and ETA to Kansas U.S.A.tnx
Would not be bad ad all if the bullet had an inbuilt mic option as well... pity that the turret can't be used outside (a dome would also do the trick, with mic 😊). Thanks for the detailed videos!!
Thanks for the feedback , the colourvu turret can be used outside and also has a mic part number DS-2CD2347G1-LU 😊 the AcuSense Turret with flashing light and audio cant be used outside
@@DVSLTD Thanks for the clarification!! In fact, it was not advertised as the bullet in the highlighted features, just by digging deeper in the specs with the comparison tool (speaking for online website).
Will definitely try it then and hope for a bullet with mic.
Where can I purchase a 4k version of this camera from? Everywhere I look is a wholesaler and I can’t get any prices!
If the white light came on with motion I would buy them now. No good for my house since it would be permanently on in front and back garden and annoy neighbours. Great videos and information though. Keep up good work.
Thanks for the feedback andrew and yes we are working towards this function hopefully very soon, we do have a product called AcuSense that does this now but it the night time image is not as good , but still amazing , thanks for the kind comment 😊
@@DVSLTD any news?
Great Video Dai. Off the back of your videos ive gone and installed a few Color-Vu cameras at home and im blown away by the quality. Im struggling however with getting the supplement light to come on when I want it (without using the timer function). Can you shed any light on what filtering time and sensitivity refer to? Would appreciate any advice you can offer. Also agree that a firmware update allowing the light to be triggered on motion would be a great addition. I actually though they might be able to do this as standard. thanks very much
Thanks for the feedback and comments 😊 , regards the settings, the sensitivity the higher the number the easier it switches, the filter time Is how long it has to stay in that image light level before change, so lower number quicker switch : ibb.co/6FxQ2zw
DVSLTD Thanks very much Dai. Really helpful. Looking forward to potential higher MP versions in the future and hopeful for the firmware update your pushing. Still blown away by their quality mind. Appreciate all your advise with them, wouldn’t have found them otherwise. Cheera

Great video, thanks for the info. I think you say in the commentary that you are hoping for a firmware update to support activation of the cameras light following a detection. Did you get any idea if this was a goer and if so what would be your best guess on timescale based on Hikvision normally? I'm surprised it was not in the camera already and wonder if this is due to a hardware restriction/limitation.... Cheers
Thanks for the feedback, I am still chasing it but confident we will get there 😊
DVSLTD any update please can it be setup to be like pir?
@@DVSLTD same question
Dear sir,
Kindly suggest me how i can on led lights in DS-2CD2T47G3-L.
I didn't find option to led lights on at night time .
that’s not a model we sell in the UK but the option should be under camera web and image settings 😊
@@DVSLTD Thank you sir 😊
Another great video. Thats some dedication going in that early for a video :).... Is DVS your company?
Thank you , I love the help we provide so it keeps me going , I wish it was my company but I don’t own it , I one day hoping I will get an in 😊
Hello, just had this camera installed. I have a fish eye lens and would like a linear view. Is this possible within the software to change to linear
Thanks
Loved the cat walk. Nice features of the camera
Ha thanks Rashid , I try my best 😊 hoping to get a modelling contract
Why womt ot give me thw optin for external device..it only shows vca resource and metadata settinga when trying to change light brightness
I’ve got this problem. Did you fix it?
Ok, Hik here, Hik there, but, how do you stop false alarm on day/night change from grey to color and color to grey? I mean, if they triggers the alarm on false movement when there is no one around, then these cameras aren't really the best, right?
Also, you're moving quite smooth in this video. Is the camera a 60fps?
Mick , there are different technologies for different applications, we do the Deep in mind product for false alarm reduction , AcuSense Product or products with very good images, you seem very negative
@@DVSLTD
I can't be negative after a month since o purchased this product. You put yourself in my shoes, see how that feel after buying this rubbish that isn't even user friendly. Why on earth would there be an alarm for changing ambient light of the day? That it changes from daylight and to grey in the evening, why is there an alarm for that? Negative, yeah?
Usefull thanks
Hi great videos.
What cameras would you say in need that would read number plates at 30/40ft distance from a 30ft high soffit fitted camera
Hello, why does my hilook colorvu jump around, loose picture at night with night light on. In the day it’s fine
Hi there,
I recently had a Turing advantage series NVR and cameras installed in my house by a local company and after using for a little bit realized the app was terrible and you can’t even share clips and playback clips skip every two seconds, needless to say they are coming to remove the Turing system and want to put in a hikvision system.
Below are the Cameron model numbers and NVR model number they want to swap it out with and say it would be $100 less.
The NVR model number is ERI-K108-P8
The Camera model number is ECI-T24Fx
Can you take a look and see if you think these cameras are any good? They seem to be older models; is this really $100 less or should it be a lot less than what I had? I originally paid about $2500 to remove my old system and install this one including running all new wires.
I inquired about the colorvu cameras (although I believe you are not a big fan) because I have some low light areas on the sides of my house and in front of my house that produce a black-and-white picture but I believe with ColorVu they would be in color due to the lighting from neighbors and such. When I asked about that they said those were $100 more per camera and the model number they provided was generation one DS-2CD2347G1-L(U). I went back to them and asked if they had the generation 2 model ColorVu cameras. I also asked them if they were able to get the eight megapixel color view for the front of my house only.
I guess my question is to you is:
1. what do you think about the model numbers that they are trying to sell me and do I need to push for the newest version? I’m not sure why they’re trying to push this older stuff off on me unless they have it sitting around.
2. Is the camera kit they are offering = to the Touring Advantage Series set I had? they were also 4 MP cameras
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
Lost in Florida,
Angela
Hi and thanks for the comment , and sorry to hear you have had issues with the system you are removing, so I have looked at the cameras models you mentioned and these are the Value series , which we don’t offer in the UK but some regions offer them and do very well , there 4MP so the image should be ok , but as there a value camera the low light capability wont be as good as the traditional model but this will then cost more. As far as the ColorVu I am its biggest fan to be honest and if possible I would try to use this at all times 😊. The model they have given you Is a ColorVu model and will peform well , in the UK ( and I don’t know the US market enough to be 100% confident ) we have moved over to the latest model of colorvu which is DS-2CD2347G2-LU-2.8MM so I would check if that is an option as it’s the latest and best in my opinion , past that happy to help where we can , and I hope your new system will be all that it needs to be 😊
@@DVSLTD thank you!
I’ve asked them to quote me on this system below, any thoughts?
NVR:
(1) - DS-7608NI-I2/8P with 4TB or 2TB
Cameras:
(7) - DS-2CD2347G2-LU (4 MP ColorVu)
(1) - DS-2CD2387G2-LU (8 MP Color Vu)
DS-2CD2T46G1-4I/SL (2.8MM) 4 MP WDR FIX EXIR ACUSENSE! I hope you will review this lens Sir:)
Hey , thanks I have done an AcuSense video but will do another one actually 😊
Hi, thanks for the video. Have you done a zoom in video with these cameras?
The cameras we have fitted are the HiLook Hikvision THC-T259H 2.8mm ColorVu 5MP TVI Mini Turret Camera IR 20 white.
Could this be because they are fitted so high?
One other thing is the hikvision digital recorder box is beyond difficult to use. Trying to find a certain time is difficult, as in swiping across to a certain time, it jumps.
Any advice and help would be grateful. Thank you.
I've had some fitted, they're fitted to the facious and the Zoom to is good, the the clarity is absolutely shocking, both day and night time.
From 0.5x zoom it's blurry and at 8x zoom it's undeliverable bad. We got them fitted because there were a few houses burgled and we wanted to get a clear image of anyone who would think of doing the same to us. Luckily it's not happened. I'm using the procontrol+ app, which is beyond useless. Any others you could recommend that are user friendly, don't freeze and don't regularly kick you out of the app.
hi i have the colorvu 8mp It works really well during the day capturing reg plates but at night they all have a white glare and does not read any at all, do you know how to solve it?
the best way to solve this is to deploy an actual ANPR camera to be honest as when setup correctly it would compromise the CCTV view then , can you do this?? If not if you change the exposure level on the camera to say 1/250 and test that , but the colorvu wont perform to its optimum that way
How are the led lights against reflective number plates. Will the number plates be readable if the led is shining onto a reflective plate? Also do direct facing headlights distort the camera?
Hi I have just had these installed, they are very good but I want to be able to turn off the LED light as it stays on through the night, I do not seem to have the option in my web browser on the configuration tab for external device as you have to be able to toggle on and off. Any ideas why I don’t have this tab available?
Just two words - Thank you :-)
Thanks Craig 😊
Hi there
Watch a lot of your videos and has taught me a lot
The one problem I am having is my DVR DS-7616NI-K2/16P does not give me the option of External Device or Metadata setting.
My main concern is the External Device menu as I have 4 ColorVu cameras and I cannot access the LED light menu
I have updated to the latest Firmware V3.4.108 Build 200102
Would greatly appreciate any help
Thanks
Hi and thanks for the feedback , are you using Internet explorer ? if not can you try that
Thanks for the videos, I'm really enjoying learning about the cameras and your business. I'm curious, why do you use Hikvision branded equipment as opposed to the OEM equipment?
Hi and thanks for the feedback , OEM is not as popular in the UK , most want main brand , they provide better support and a wider product choice 😊
@@DVSLTD I spoke with Hikvision rep for our area. According to this person. The OEMs are supposedly not provided the latest firmware on the equipment so they will be several revisions behind. I don't know how true this is as I have not stopped to look at that. However I did ask about a OEM K2 DVR being sold by one of the dist here. He told me that was running ver 4.20.000 build 181107.
great video, have you heard of any issues with the 4mp colorvu. i was looking to getting these installed but my installer said his supplier were getting quite a few returns on the 4mp cameras & they had withdrawn them from sale but not the 2mp cameras? thanks
Really unsure whether to go for ColourVu or Darkfighter cameras....
1) ClourVu only comes in 4mp, the dark fighter comes in 8mp - the 4K resolution make the darkfighter more future proof - I’m worried the 4mp colourvu won’t be high enough resolution
2) I’ve read issues with the colourvu
Which one would you recommend?
Current format is colorvu is 4MP , we hope to get higher Res soon , there is 8MP Powered by Dark fighter , the 8MP 5 line is not technically classed as Dark fighter but still good performance, I do prefer the colorvu myself , but guess its down to personal choice and if the 4MP is high enough image quality , the 8M Powered by Dark fighter is also amazing quality and good all-around image day and night 😊
@@DVSLTD thanks for the reply! Do you know when the 8mp colour vu is coming out?
I’d be interested to know that also. Great video. Appreciate you doing that when you’re well. I’m in Australia so I hope the colorvu is available here also?
@@rtang3571 Not sure on exact date but hopefully very soon , chasing it
lots of useful info have subscribed...love the male model pirouettes btw....strike a pose....vogue :) Can I just ask....do they do Colovu cams in 8mp?...am thinking of upgrading my old 3mp DS-2CD2132F-IS dome cams and am undecided between a 5mp colovu like this or an 8mp DS-2CD2383G0-1 .......thanks for your time.
I have a Gen 1 colorvu. Auto for the external doesn’t seem to work for me (so I schedule it) and also, faces are completely washed out when folks are at all close. Anyone else have this issue?
it could be down to the function under image and light settings for the smart light control being off , having it on will adjust the light level and prevent that issue
Just had mine fitted today and didnt no there was a light in them good to no you can actually turn these off 👍
Great video very helpful, I've recently had the 5mp colorVu cameras installed but have Issues with image quality at night on people moving, Get a ghosting effect, any ideas on how to get over this?
Hi , there are some settings that can effect this , H.265+ is a common one, so use H.265 only , exposure setting on image can be adjusted to suit also , its default is 1/12 normally but you can try adjusting this by calling pre-set 95 on the PTZ control to access the camera OSD menu , or press menu button on the PTZ onscreen controller. Past this we would need to look more closely at it
Chris, I have also experienced the same - any movement renders the footage unuseable - did changing the setting help?
Is this the 2mp or 5mp
What's the settings that get the most out of the camera 📸😊
the best would be to have the white light on and have the exposure at 1/12 , 😊
@@DVSLTD do you mean 1/25 ? . That's as low has it will go
@@seekeroftruth0665 it will go lower that that , have you tried to adjust it ?
@@DVSLTD yes ,via the browser in the General tab the lowest is 1/25
Found out it's because I had WDR on ,once I had turned that off the oxposure settings went lower 👍
Hello, i could need some help. Is light always on when its dark, or is it activated trough dvr linkage. Can it be set, so the led turns on only when recording,warning during night?
I bought this camera for my Dad as a christmas gift. He's for buying a NVR and adding more to it. We're having a bit of bother setting up the LED. Not really looking it to say on all night.. Can it be activated in the trigger area?
Hi peter, depends on the model , if it’s the newer G2 model then the firmware will be released shortly to allow the LED to come on upon activation
@@DVSLTD no it's G1.. DS-2CD2347G1-LU
I bought these cameras but can’t get the microphones to work? It keeps saying audio failed.
Cool thanks
Great video 👍
Thanks buddy 😊
Sir which dvr you use with this camera can you tell me..?
you can use a K series or a I series NVR
Awesome video and I have been learning a lot form your content. I would to ask for your recommendation in the best/most preferred Hkvision 24 NVR that works with colorVue. And advice if the cameras should be powered by the NVR, or its best to get a non-poe NVR and power the cameras through a POE switch. Thanks
Hi and thanks for this feedback , myself its ok to use the NVR with POE inbuilt and makes it an easy install , you can also use external POE switch , both will work the same , it really is down to how you want to wire and configure this , do you want a 24hr unit as all NVRS are rated to 24hr , or 24 port POE ? if its 24 port poe please use the DS-7732NI-I4/24P 😊
@@DVSLTD I want a 24 port POE NVR as I want to install about 20 outdoor cameras. As for the 24hr unit, does this mean 2hr surveillance? is this DS-7732NI-I4/24P capable of remote surveillance? I cannot seem to find this unit on amazon. Thanks for the feedback
@@princeladan5907 Yes this unit is 24hr operation and can have remote access and HIK-Connect app support , it’s a brilliant device 😊
Great video, can you use the line crossing detection with this camera so the white light comes on if someone enters the area marked out?
Hi and thanks , currently not as that is what the Acusense model does but it’s been looked at all the same
@@DVSLTD thanks for the reply. If you can let me know if that changes I would really appreciate it.
hi, I'm about to get an alcohol license and I need a camera for outdoor that is able to record 1 month of video what do you recommend?
Any cameras should do what you're looking for but I'd reccomend either the darkfighter range/colourvu range for better image quality at night! 2 Megapixels all the way to 8 Megapixels (4K) and make sure you get your equipment from an installer who uses DVS!
is 4mp the highest you can get for a colourvu or darkfighter?
4MP colorvu currently , 8MP darkfighter 😊
Just literally installed the cameras but I would like to turn the led light off . I've tried going into my hikvision DVR setting box but I can't seem to suss it out any help would be great . Thank you jalani
Hi if you login to the camera directly via its IP and go to configuration, then you will see under > system settings > External Device> LED settings 😊
@@DVSLTD hey, I cant find the Externel Device option. All my cams have ColorVu but I dont have the possibility to do anything with them. Ive logged into it via the IP Adress of my receiver.

Are your cameras ip cameras or analog? I have analog colorvu and you can't alter the bright light on the analog cameras. It's on at dark and that's it.

cool i live in Northern Ireland need a ptz and wide-view front and back watt HDD would i use for that with good cameras...

Yes you can see on each spec sheet the bracket options if needed
I want this cap...
Is there any model in this range that is smaller in size, thanks mike
We have the turret which is quite small and the new 20 bullet camera
Can the camera view car number plates in the dark and with car headlights on?
it would struggle with headlights due to the exposure level , you could increase the exposure but it would defeat the idea of colourvu image , whereas we do the ANPR dedicated camera
Hi Daitech, love the video as always. Quick question though, if you forced the camera into day mode no white light how would it fare showing a number plate with only ambient lighting? Has this been tested?
Hi mike and thanks for the feedback , regards the Number plate it does show the plate , I will do a quick video on it next week if you like to show its performance ?

@@DVSLTD why do you need internet explorer
Hi, great video, can you confirm that to work in an area of almost complete darkness the supplemental light is on permanently at night or on a time setting and it isn't activated with motion detection by the camera ?
I can confirm current option is on permanently at night (sensitivity adjustable) or time based but no motion activation. P.S brilliant camera btw
Hi and thanks, if completely dark then image without white light may be not the best , the light will come on when darkness level is low enough when on auto OR on time schedule you can set, currently cant set it to be motion activated but working on it

Does it work with a non hikvision dvr?
Yes tech is built in to camera
Can you zoom in and read a license plate with this camera .
Hi David, you can but it would depend on this distance, if using on playback realistically you may get 10-15mtrs distance from camera, for plate capture specifically I would recommend using our ANPR camera range
Any Ip camera that the LEDs in the dark go unnoticed by the human eye and is not detectable?
Hi, HIK don’t make the covert IR model for standard use just for special case as it reduces the IR distance quite a bit so the overall image can be effected , but they can be made on Request by HIK if you have the quantity
So what's the answer......colourVu or darkfighter?
For me its ColorVu where you can get away with lighting or white light , if no supplement light and white light is not appropriate then , darkfighter 😊
Is darkfighter for places without lighting?
and colorvu is for places with poor lighting or good lighting right?
@@Kliptrech26Rg001 Yes and no , darkfighter has IR for low light conditions and colourvu has whitelight for low light conditions if needed , colourvu image performance is better with supplement light either around or from camera 😊

Funny, but this 4MP *expensive* camera (with ColorVU!) gives me not a pixel more details, than I have with just 2MP. Face even at 5m already not recognizable. So this cam is helpful only if you just wanna see "OK, some man approaching my place". For this function cheapest 2MP cam will be enough.
