Looking at the rear portion of each camera, you’ll notice that both IP cameras have a point to connect a ground wire if need be. Turning the cameras around in our hands, there are a couple external features worth pointing out. If this was all based on how we felt after holding it in our hands, we’d be happy customers. Nothing jiggles around, you don’t hear any loose parts bouncing around, and everything looks pristine. Sometimes you just pick certain things up and you can tell that they’re good quality. It may seem like a weird question but you hear people make the same statement all the time. The very simple workaround to this is to attach this component on the 4300S as it should be, and then apply silicone based weatherproof sealant to any seams. Because of this, we have to say not to rely on this component to weatherproof the connection on the Dahua 4300S. It’s a single piece absent any rubber gaskets whereas the Hikvision 2032 is a two to three piece system depending on how you’re looking at it. Having said all that, the Dahua 4300S is lacking on this component. This is good news for anyone that needs to run their IP cameras pigtail through the air instead of pulling it through the mounting surface. They’re intended use is to be very specifically attached to the cameras network port which is then supposed to render that connection weatherproof. It wasn’t until we started approaching the end of 2014 that we started seeing these show up in the box. The components for covering your network connections are rather recent. The drilling template and mounting hardware are always a nice addition to the cameras list of accessories but there’s nothing unique about what you get here that we need to touch on.

They also contain the appropriate software and configuration tools you’ll need for your IP camera.

The mini discs contain digital copies of a somewhat more in depth user manual but it’s still lacking in user friendliness.
They provide some basic specifications, but other than that, they’re underwhelming to say the least. The user guides are typical and what we’ve all come to expect. For that reason, we figured it was time to get both of them out side by side and see if we can’t find the real differences between them.īoth IP cameras come with a basic user guide, user mini disc, drilling template, mounting hardware, and components used to cover your RJ45 connector and network port on the cameras pigtail. When you look at the information that’s out there regarding these cameras, they come off as nearly identical in almost every possible way. Hikvision’s 2032 and Dahua’s 4300S have noticeably stood out as the most popular among these company’s other products in their IP camera lines. When posed with the question of which manufacturers, or brands, give you the most “bang for your buck,” you’d be hard pressed to find someone who won’t throw the Hikvision and Dahua names out there. This only makes sense with these two manufacturers being as popular as they are. The Hikvision model DS-2CD2032-I and Dahua model IPC-HFW4300S are easily two of the most popular bullet style IP security cameras on the market.
