Hello,

What are the differences between this 3 WIFI Cameras:

HiWatch - HWI-B120-D/W
HikVision - DS-2CV1021G0-IDW1
HikVision - DS-2CD2021G1-IDW1 - has POE

I can't find any despite POE.

Thanks!

Hi @apashi

I don't have any direct experience with those cameras, but I've listed some of the key differences I can see in each's spec below:

HiWatch - HWI-B120-D/W
- H.264/MJPEG compression only
- Cannot send alerts upon the loss of network connection
- Only available in a 2.8mm focal length option
- 50m WiFi range

HikVision - DS-2CV1021G0-IDW1
- Adds H.265 / H.265+ compression for large bandwidth and storage savings.
- Will alert you on the loss of network connection
- 2.8mm and 4mm focal length options available
- BLC, HLC, 3D DNR Image enhancement
- 80m WiFi range
- Cannot be added to a HiLook NVR

HikVision - DS-2CD2021G1-IDW1 (please note that this actually does not have PoE)
This camera is almost identical to the one above, apart from:
- Will alert you on 'Video Tampering'
- BLC/3D DNR image enhancement only
- 50m WiFi range
- Wider web-browser compatibility

I should also point out that we don't often recommend the HiWatch range of camera and have never sold them, as explained in this post:

Many tanks!
Very good advice from you.
I'll choose only HikVision products for my next setup.
