Once again excellent service from Use-ip, great help in choosing a camera for what I needed. A Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-LU(C) 8MP ColorVu Mini Bullet Network Camera 2.8mm was ordered and received within two days, the unit was easily added to the system and as the snapshot from about 2 am shows the night vision is superb. I can honestly say that I am more than pleased with my purchase

Okay. Write a review! Purchase was a cat6 patch cable 10m in length. Ordered online and delivered next day by courier (signature required) at least they didn't use a two bit delivery company. Patch cable works good and excellent quality. Further orders with use-ip from myself I am confident that the same quality of service will be given. Thanks

Having purchased from this company before I had no hesitation in contacting them to re-order. At the "stressful" time before Christmas I had picked out a couple of camera's that would suit my needs and spoke to Emma to check that these would indeed suit what I wanted to do. It's a good job I did, and a good job that Emma knows her job!! It turned out that I had "mis-understood" an item in the specs. Long story short..... Emma turned up trumps with a couple of options that were available and the deal was done. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, if you are in need of an IP camera speak to "use-IP" first, you will not be sorry that you did!!

I had been looking for some additional home security following the theft of some quite valuable tools from my garden shed, I decided that CCTV would be my best option. After a week or more of exchanging 20 or so emails with Kyle and following his expert guidance, I finally settled on a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2-8P 8 Channel Network Video Recorder, 2TB Hard Disk and 4 Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU 4MP ColorVu Fixed Turret Network Cameras with 4mm lenses. I must say that I am more than happy with the quality of the hardware and the quality of the recorded images produced. After doing a good old search of the web, I did manage to find the exact same equipment cheaper elsewhere but decided that should I have problems with the initial setup, the additional cost of purchasing from use-ip might be well worth the extra cost and I was very soon proved to be right as it required a good 20 or so support email exchanges with Kyle to get the system all set up and working to my requirements ( I worked in the embedded control software development industry for a good number of years and have set up IP cameras before so had a good idea that it would not be a straightforward experience!!). There is still one issue outstanding (image display via remote web browser access to the NVR is still problematic) but Kyle is working with Hikvision to resolve the problem. Have attached some photos of my installation, 1 camera watching the front door, 1 camera watching the garden shed and 2 cameras covering the whole of the rear garden. All cameras are set up to trigger the white LEDs on movement detection, all LEDs are on in the photos as the cameras detected me!! So, in summary, the Hikvision hardware is very good, the use-ip support is second to none, use-ip are a bit more expensive than some of their competitors but if you need after-sales support (and you most probably will if not experienced with the equipment purchased), like me, you will be glad you paid the slight premium for the support.

Having used "use-ip" for a number of cameras in my own home I have found their information and knowledge great. The Hikvision kit provided has always performed fautlessley and has proved great kit. Would happily recommend for both a trades person and the DIYer.. Screenshot of my new Hikvision attached taken after Sunset in the basic dark!!!,.. the camera is great!

Already had a Hikvision CCTV system in place which I purchased from use-IP at the beginning of last year. 3 turret cameras and an NVR. Decided to expand the system by adding an additional 2 camera this year to increase coverage. Both this year and last year I received excellent customer service, both on product recommendations and camera spec. I would definitely, and have in the past, recommended use-IP and woukd recommended anyone to speak to their team to find the right products for them or if unsure about any products.

I ordered a Hikvision DS-2CD2047G1-L 4MP ColorVu Mini Bullet Network Camera - 6mm which was delivered quickly. I received email notifications from Use-IP throughout the process to let me know when I would expect the order. I have found the camera to be very good and gives an excellent picture. The ColorVu night time feature gives very good images even when it is very dark which I was impressed with.

We purchased a Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2-IU 8MP AcuSense IR Fixed Mini Bullet Network Camera to replace our old Hikvision camera at the front of the house. Easy to order and arrived on time. Having read the reviews thought it would be worth giving this camera a go, as seeing the wildlife pass our door at night in colour would be a pleasant change. As you can see from the photo foxe's are indeed red. Really impressed with the camera and it's night colour vision but not sure how much of this is helped by having the street light right outside the house.

I don't write many reviews, but absolutely had to leave one. I was browsing the internet, looking for replacement cameras, not really knowing what I wanted (bullet, turret, dome, etc). I stumbled across the site and used the chat function to ask incredibly inane questions. I sent pictures of my property and Kyle consistently responded with excellent advice and pretty much educated me on cameras! He was incredibly patient, and I went from wanting to spend £50 on one camera to try out, to spending £700 on replacing 4 of my outdoor cameras without feeling like someone had run a hard sell on me. I still need to buy more cameras, and use-IP will be where I get them from. Hope this helps someone else.

my first NVR. Overall works great so far 3-4 weeks in and not once had an error. software and set up was a bit clunky as no real instruction manual but i suspect Hikvision expect to sell to trade mainly. few you tube videos later i was all up and running. hikconnect also works excellent, once i set up app and triggers the messages works great with no problems i installed the cameras DS-2CD2385G1-I 8MP Turret Camera and fed cable through walls. no need to but a adapter plate for cables if you drill a 22mm hole in wall for RJ45 connection. Overall quality is excellent via streaming and recordings. Night time also excellent and very clear. currently only gone to 1080p 20FPS but will change shortly to the highest settings to test. Overall really pleased with this unit. shame i bought 3 weeks before black ones came out lol ;-) assistance was great when needed but plenty of youtube videos to assist and the useip forums excellent.

I highly recommend use-IP to anyone planning a cctv installation. I found the use-IP, YouTube videos & online forum a great resource for information during my cctv research. I called use-IP and spoke to Gilly who answered all of my questions and gave me some great advice. She asked me to email in some pictures of my house and confirmed the suitability of my intended camera locations. I placed the order and the items were quickly dispatched and delivered to my home. This weekend, with the help of the use-IP ‘Mega thread’ I have finished the installation of my Hikvision cctv equipment and got the system up and running. I am very pleased with the results so far and just need to fine tune the settings and recording schedule. The picture quality is great both night and day and the IR recording in the dark is really quite impressive. Thanks to the team at use-IP for the excellent customer service and reassuring offer of support if I need in the future.

I love use-IP! I love my new IP based camera system. Since my NVR was rack mountable, I went ahead and bought the brackets recently too. use-IP has a vast amount of details on their products. There are video tutorials which really help when you are trying to get your mind around some of the technical bits. I also find their forums handy, which has help me resolve many queries I’ve had so far!

Recently bought two Hikvision DS-2CD2386G1 8Mp cameras for our new build house in rural Scotland. The camera is the 4mm focal length version and the image quality is nothing short of fantastic and easily manages to deliver full motion video. It is very easy to install, especially using PoE from the LAN switch. The only real issue is finding enough space in the wall behind the camera for the captive connecting cable with it's in-line waterproof LAN connector. The iVMS-4200 software that comes with the camera is good but a little challenging to configure correctly; I still haven't been able to successfully trigger a recording on motion detection, but will try again. Unfortunately my go-to software (iSpy) does not understand H.265 directly and is unstable if I use VLC as an adapter, so I will have to persist with iVMS4200.

I've just upgraded our cctv to a HIKVISION 8 camera system from a cheaper brand and I'm really pleased with the results. I'm glad I purchased it from USE-IP Ltd as they gave me plenty of help before and after the purchase. I've got a 2MP 2.8mm dome camera in the porch and 2 x 8MP turret cameras outside, one about 2 meters high and the other above the porch. The one that's 2 meters high is 8MP 6mm and gives clear images of peoples faces. I also have 2 x 5MP 6mm cameras around the back either side of the patio doors. One even gives a colour image at night.

I ordered two "Hikvision DS­2CD2555FWD­IS 5MP Mini Dome Network Camera 4mm" . The overview on the site was quite transparant, user-friendly and complete. A friendly Gilly also helped me with some extra questions via mail. Conclusion: a quick and smooth order-process. The cams are high-quality, render a nice smooth image and have a modern design. (when zoomed in perhaps even more MP could be advised) The installation went quite well also here no real issues. Overall conclusion: Good service + Good products = Satisfied Customer

Use-IP are a remarkable firm: there are one or two people who really know what they are talking about and speedily produce answers to lead one in the right direction. I had chosen a CCTV camera but asked first if it was Ok with a Mac (most cameras are not very Mac friendly). I was told that the one I had chosen was not Mac-friendly and recommended another that was, albeit a tad over £100 extra, but then that is Mac for you: Quality but it costs! I ordered it plus a Power-over-Ethernet box to deliver power to the camera. The camera and PoE box arrived within two days which was impressive. I rapidly realised that I had not ordered enough as I needed some means of supplying ethernet to the camera. Here I thought the Use-IP options were expensive as I tried first to get a HomePlug to link into the IP over the mains that I already have. But other people were just as expensive though while thrashing around I found a small TP-Link "Extender" which would receive WiFi signal and provide same to an Ethernet socket, so bought that through the dreaded Amazon. So to getting it all working. I had one or two early problems which Use-IP helped me through. But there were two big problems. First getting the Link Extender to work but this I did manage to solve. Second getting the camera to work with Motion detection. The problem was that it was very difficult to direct the motion detected video to my NAS box. There is no means of doing this on the proffered program from the Camera maker. The camera does have a browser facility which does work with the Mac but the Storage options don't, though I did find some file links I could set to the NAS. The only way I managed to get the thing working was because I had Synology NAS servers and these have their own camera management program which works with the Hikvision camera I had bought. Currently I have the camera working well and some motion detected events being stored on the Synology NAS. I am working on viewing these files but have not found a reliable set of instructions yet to proffer to my wife who wanted the camera to see which four or two legged monster was attacking her goldfish! I have not yet been able to formulate a clear enough question to give to Use-IP or Hikvision or Synology. All this takes time, the fortunate thing being that retirement gives quite a lot of that. Am I satisfied with Use-IP? A positive definite Maybe.
