Hikvision Doorbell Camera Blue Iris

After several weeks of research for an ultra wide camera that wouldn't break the bank, I requested a quote and special ordered this one from B&H. Took a bit long to receive, 22 days from order day to DC, as it comes directly from HikVision California, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. I'm using this camera with Blue Iris, so I won't speak about the built in motion detection, masking capabilities and other characteristics of that nature. I rely on Blue Iris for those. Several features that were must haves. Single lens with 180° horizontal field of view, it has built in lens distortion correction, which can be manually disabled. There's a bit of distortion towards the edges of the image, but this is expected. RTSP capable, outdoor, PoE, WDR, and IR. Overall 5 stars, if you're looking for an 180° outdoor cam, definitely take a look at this one.

Purchased to use on a 11 camera Blue Iris system, all cameras recording full time. Initialized and moving large amounts of data to make sure all is OK before moving to the BI system. Performance is better than expected (hdparm of 250ish MB/sec. Quiet and runs pretty cool. I like it.

Bought this to use with my Blue Iris security system works great and cameras that are attached to it work well

Easy to mount my Hikvision PTZ camera. Plus, B & H has the best price out there.

Hikvision NVR's are the best for the price!

It works great. The iris knob is very sensitive, but that may be the camera. I've gotten used to it, though.

I liked it, iris thin so less to no vignette.

The product was exactly as described, genuine HikVision accessories.

No f/stop iris adjustments possible with the original Pocket 6K. Iris control works fine with the Pocket 6K Pro.

Works as advertised. I use mine to monitor my new ring doorbell camera.
