In this video I will be unboxing and reviewing this hikvision Mini PTZ Camera model DS-2DE3304W-DE. This camera is sold for about $150US and well worth the money. It’s a 3mp camera featuring a 4X optical zoom. That gives you a range of 2.8mm-12mm). In other words, takes you from a 105 degree point of view to 33.5.
I share my likes, such as the heavy quality of the cam and its low operating temperature. I also talk about my dislikes such as the uninsulated wires and how the camera will not fit properly onto a standard junction box. I then download SADP and activate the camera before testing it outside with a long time-lapse.

After watching your video a few time I decided to upgrade 1 of my analog cameras to this Mini PTZ. It is absolutely worth it and easy to do. I have a Hikvison TruboHD Tribrid DVR and Netgear GS116pp 183w POE. I'll be adding another in the future. Thanks for the review and setup guide!

It was between this and another 4mp turret camera. Lets just say I've been officially convinced.

Hi what nvr can I use or is better switch Poe (for this camera)

[@rockyalwayswins1495]

Hi I've linked this camera to my dvr via poe switch via the network. Can u tell me why on the hik connect app i can't use the ptz mode says fail. I was thinking maybe it's to do with the activation of the camera via sadp software as wouldn't let me select hik connect settings ? Any info on this please.

[@reaganpenner7371]

Hi, thanks for putting together these great reviews! I was wondering if you were aware that the Amazon link that you have provided for this particular camera appears to be the grey market version. If you look online at official Hikvision US retailers this camera is retailing for $522 USD. Any thoughts?

[@stevehays6403]

Can also download ivms-4500 app to phone and do simple setup that way. Has sadp in app and can find ip cameras with different ip then network and can enable dhcp or change static to your network config.

I like the new intro and channel icon.

Hikvision just discontinued this model earlier this month. I really hope they release an updated model with DarkFighter or ColorVu! As a matter of fact, a true PTZ or fisheye camera with ColorVu would be a game changer!

Awesome video, thank you.

Hi I need some help as cant seem to get sound on this camera. I have a Hikvision 16 Channel DVR. Thanks
