[0.215 lb] Great looking camera. Clear picture.

[ABS + PC] This camera has a great picture! (comment from the customer)
Has a continuous 360 degree pan.

[ABS + PC] Very clean night low light image compared to $200-300 range Hikvision cameras. The PTZ is fast while it does have to hunt a bit during zoom (~2 seconds). It also has ability to rotate 360 degrees without stopping. I have no IR lens flare at night as long the camera is not pointing at the wall to reflect the IR. It does however have lens reflections with high intensity sources like headlights.


I use all the internal camera settings from my PC using Chrome browser plugin to access the camera web GUI. A negative is that the plugin asks to start each time you boot your PC, so I uninstall the plugin after camera is setup and let the camera send content to my NAS surveillance. Even though Hikvision is on the USA ban list...I do not see why anyone on the other side of the planet would want to monitor my driveway for the trash truck. My firewall registers no unusual packets after you sent proper network setting confiugration.


I setup Smart events on the camera (line crossing, area, missing object, etc), as well as calendar of when to alert in order to enable the auto-tracking feature. It is working very well for me. The Auto-track feature also has a time window (Ex. 30 seconds) to track the object or give up if it has lost the target before it returns to default position. Lastly, I can adjust the speed for PTZ as part of the auto tracking. Very cool and smooths up the movement.
I like the camera and features for the price. My closest comparison is Axis and Bosch high end cameras which cost nearly 2x more.


Lastly, I suggest the junction box add-on as it has a 10 cluster of cables that come out of the back. Search online to see.

[ABS + PC] the camera box was exactly as advertised. I received them the next day

[0.215 lb] Currently I have 4 of the older models (DS-2DE3304W-DE), and this newer one is much better than those. Besides the slightly higher 4mp over the old 3mp, the night vision is far superior. I always use Color at night on all the cameras, and use Slow Shutter to lighten the scene, and I was surprised at how bright the Auto Slow Shutter was on this new model - it's perfect for my needs. I put it on a Scheduled Switch, Outdoors during the daytime with tweaked Image Adjustments (no slow shutter), and at night I have the Day/Night switch on Day, Indoors, with tweaks to the image along with the Auto Slow Shutter 2.

Another nice surprise was my 2017 iMac on Monterey using Firefox v103 was able to see the picture/video in the browser without installing any addons or web components (which don't work on the older models for Safari or Firefox, but do on Internet Explorer when using Parallels Desktop with Windows 10). The firmware which came with my new 3404 is V5.7.2 build 211009.

I'd love to replace all my older cameras with this one but that's a big chunk of change (lol). Anyway, none of my cameras are outside, they're all sitting on the windowsill looking through glass, so for folks who install outdoors will probably have even better results than me.

[ABS + PC] Nice picture and easy to connect to Hikvision NVR. Plug and Play works very well.

[0.215 lb] this is a really good camera at a good price. easy to install.

[ABS + PC] We've bought several of these with great success. Our customer's really like them, too. Customer service is excellent!

[ABS + PC] perfect and fit just right for Hikvision Camera DS-2CD2385G1-L 2.8mm

[0.215 lb] It’s hikvision great camera for not a lot of money compared to axis. The fish eye lense is great and can see everything. Only down fall is that it’s stuck in the fish eye aspect, zooming in is done through software and the NVR software that I’m using blue iris doesn’t support that.
