Okay thanksNo, these are all Hikvision TurboHD Analog cameras.
IP cameras do not use BNC/COAX, they only use RJ45 network connectors.
Will you get true colours if you disable the sensor?Hi @Warren
We would recommend a 4MP ColorVu Camera, the white light the camera uses to improve the nighttime performance can be disabled and the larger sensor/wider aperture alone gives you very good night colour images.
If you search "ColorVu" on the forum you will find some screenshot examples of very impressive low-light colour images like this one.
It's an IP camera so you would use the network connection direct to the PoE port of an NVR. The BNC is just a convenience allowing you to connect a service monitor while at the camera to aid in positioning. It's not much use for anything else as it will be a low resolution image.this camera contains BNC Port and POE Port, so is this allow to connect to NVR or DVR too??
I am curious how to connect this to DVR.... is it direct connect the POE to power adaptor and the BNC to DVR???
thanks.

Hi @Newbie here
What DVR model do you have?
You won't be able to add the camera to your DVR by connecting it to your laptop.
You need to connect the PoE adaptor to your router (or a switch connected to your router) and also make sure the DVRs LAN port is also connected to the same network/router as the camera.
Once you've done that, you should be able to see the IP camera as an 'online device' in the DVR camera menu and you should then be able to add it manually to one of the unused channels on the DVR.
Thanks @Newbie here
When you plug the camera into that PoE adaptor, do you see any sign of activity from the IP camera? Do the IR LEDs around the camera lens light up for a few seconds?
Okay,
You'll need to get your hands on another PoE Injector (preferably not the same model you already have) and test the camera on that.
If the camera doesn't work on the other PoE Injector that would suggest there is a fault with the cameras, if the camera does work on a different PoE Injector then that would suggest that the issue lies with your PoE adaptor.
Technically yes, but as explained earlier we would recommend you connect the camera to the PoE Adaptor/Injector and then connect that PoE Adaptor/Injector to a switch or directly to your local router.
Connecting directly to a laptop can sometimes require some complex manual configuration of the laptop's network setting, removing the laptop from the situation will make it easier to diagnose if there is an issue with the camera and/or the PoE Adaptor.
