 Hello! For your first assignment, look up and report focal length and AoV values using the IPVM Camera Finder or the Camera Calculator.

Here are my results:

  • Dahua IPC-HDCW4300E (Here's the link FYI):
    • Fixed Focal Lenses (three options) = 2.8mm, 3.6mm, or 6.0mm lens
    • AoV = 44, 72, or 90 degrees respective to focal length
  • Arecont - AV5255PMIR-SAH:
    • Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 8.0mm
    • AoV = 43 - 113 degrees
  • Hikvision - DS-2DE4220:
    • Varifocal lens = 4.2 - 94.0mm
    • AoV = 3 - 58 degrees

An interesting find on the Hikvision DS-2DE4220; the widest angle at 4.2mm is only 58 degrees while the telephoto angle is 3 degrees. That is a very tightly zoomed shot.

In the camera finder, locate the camera you want to report on and click on it to open a new page. Scroll down and locate the 'Lens / Imaging' section, this is where you will find this information:

You can choose any 3 cameras you like. The lenses can be fixed, varifocal, motorized, etc. Report any interesting observations or questions that come up as you are researching this.

Geovision GV-ADR2701

  • Fixed focal lens = 2.8mm
  • AoV = 105.2 degrees

Bosch Security NUC-21012-F2

  • Fixed focal lens = 2.5mm
  • AoV = 89 degrees

3xLOGIC VX-3PV-B-I

  • Varifocal lens = 2.8mm - 12mm
  • AoV = 105.2 - 31.9 degrees

 

Note: I found it interesting that the Bosh Security camera has a shortest focal length of these 3 models, but still has a narrower AoV at 2.5mm than either of the others at 2.8mm.

That is interesting. Does it have anything to do with the different imager size?

The three cameras I am picking are Axis M3048-P, Panasonic WV-SPV781L, Axis P1428-E.

https://ipvm.com/camera/m3048-p

Axis M3048-P

Lens Focal Length: 1.6mm, AoV: 360, 180

 

https://ipvm.com/camera/wv-spv781l

Panasonic WV-SPV781L

Lens Focal Length:4.2 - 25.2mm, AoV: 18 - 101

 

https://ipvm.com/camera/p1428-e

Axis P1428-E

Lens Focal Length: 3.3 - 9.8mm, AoV: 35 - 109 

It's interesting that the Panasonic focal length is 4.2 and AoV is 18 while on the Axis the focal length is 3.3 and AoV is 35. I would not expect the higher focal length to have a wider AoV. One thing to note is the imager size between these two cameras, the Panasonic being 1/1.7 and the Axis being 1/2.5.

My results:

Dahua DH-SD6ALA230FN-HNI

Lens: 6.0mm - 180.0mm

AoV: 2.1° - 61.2°

Pelco IPSXME136-2X

Lens: 3.3mm - 119.0mm

AoV: 2.5° - 57.2°

Flir D-618

Lens: 35.0mm Fixed

AoV: 18°

This camera is pretty expensive (shows up as $17,800). It's interesting how such an expensive camera only has one fixed focal length and AoV. Seems like you would need to be very confident about the measurements of the area you want to film before making this purchase.

No AoV is communicated for this Canon on IPVM. What is the trend in imager technology in IP cameras, CMOS, CCD? In the consumer market, CCD is disappearing from shelves.

I found it interesting that the Avigilon @ 3.0mm - 9.0mm Focal Length range (6.0mm) had a significantly higher AoV degree range (59 degrees) for said Focal Length vs. the Pelco with a significantly larger Focal Length range 4.3mm - 86.0mm(81.7mm) but a comparatively smaller top end AoV and only a range difference of (52.5 degrees).

I used the camera finder program to compare these 3 types using bestmatch for the Dahua:

1. Dahua IPC-HFW8331E-Z

Focal Length: 2.8mm-12.00mm

AoV: 25.8 - 81.2 degrees

2. Hikvision DS-2CD4625FWD

Focal Length: 2.8mm-12.00mm / 8.0mm-32.0mm

AoV: 33.8 - 113 degrees / 10.2 - 31.2 degrees

3. Sony SNC-VB632D

Focal Length: 3.0mm-9.0mm

AoV: 35.6 - 105.3 degrees

 

Observations: The Dahua had the lowest range AoV on the 2.8mm-12.00mm lens. Hikvision had the highest range AoV for the 2.8mm-12.00mm lens but low value AoV on the 8.0mm-32.0mm lens. The Sony had a midrange value AoV on the 3.0mm-9.0mm lens. All depends on usage and location. Very helpful tool.

Avigilon 12.0L-H4F-DO1-IR

Focal Length: 4.6mm

AoV: 360°

Looking at this Avigilon fisheye camera, it's interesting that the lens focal length is so large.  The lens length tutorial lists the typical fisheye lens as being 2mm or less.  Comparing this camera to another 12MP fisheye (Axis M3048-P), the Avigilon lens length is 3mm larger.  If these 2 cameras were ceiling mounted at the same height, would the Axis camera cover a larger area due to the shorter lens length?

Axis Q1659

Focal Length: 70mm-200mm (w/ Super Telephoto lens option)

AoV: 18°-6°

There are a lot of lens options for this 20MP camera from Axis.  Pretty large 1" imager as well, though not as large as the 35mm imager used in some similar-class cameras.

Sony SNC-VM641

Focal Length: 3mm-9mm

AoV: 35.6° - 105.3°

The focal lengths of this camera are typical of a general-use dome camera, with an AoV that is flexible for a variety of use cases.

Interesting that the AoV is smaller for the Aviligon camera when compared to the Axis camera with a comparable focal length. I compared some other Axis>Avigilon models and found a similar trend.

I am a guy who is 100% sold on Avigilon, so for my first camera I choose my favorite, 12W-H3-4MH-DP1. This is a multi imager camera with multiple applications. Each sensor has focal length of 3.0mm-8.0mm, AoV of 32.5-93 degrees with a 1/2" imager. Next is the Axis 1.0C-H3A-B01. Focal length of 3.0mm-9mm and AoV of 32-91 degrees with a 1/2.8" imager. With a slightly larger imager, the AoV is nearly the same as the Avigilon. Last is Bosch NDN-832V03, focal length of 3.8mm-13.0mm, AoV of 26=87 degrees with a 1/2.7" imager.

Cameras chosen from the IPVM Camera calculator are the: 

  1. SWANN NHD-850 camera the focal length is 4mm and the AoV is 63deg. This is a fixed focal length camera.
  2. 3xLogic VX-3PV -B-I camera. The focal length is 2.8mm-12mm and the angle of view is 31.9deg to 105.2deg. This is a variable focal length camera.
  3. Geovision GV-SD220-S20X Dome variable AoV and focal length of 4.7mm-94mm. 

When placed on the camera calculator, the clear picture given by these cameras, was at close range.

The 3xLogic camera when exploited will have an FoV of about 66deg at a focal length of about 7mm. This when compared with the Swann NHD-850 of 63deg at 4mm focal length seems to prove book makers wrong.

Panasonic WV-S1531LN

Lens Focal Length: 2.8mm - 10.0mm

AoV: 31° - 112°

 

It's interesting that all 3 cameras focal length start at 2.8mm but the Panasonic has the widest AoV at 112 degrees. The Panasonic focal length stops at 10mm while the others go to 12mm and yet still the Panasonic has the narrowest AoV at 31 degrees.

Overall it seems that the Panasonic would give you the best AoV between these three cameras.

I decided to compare an old Vivotek model that I had seen used with a newer Axis model that we've installed recently. The Hikvision was a cheap alternative to the Axis.  We all know about Hik's atrocious security record, but man, the bang for the buck (spec-wise) is hard to deny.

Candidly, what I found most interesting is the actual price differential of the above.  They're comparable cameras on paper, but I'd be very interested in durability, average lifecycle, etc., so as to compare total cost of ownership.  Another item of interest is the narrowest AoV coming in at 32 degrees, despite the focal length of the Avigilon camera at 9.0mm versus the Hikvision camera at 12.0mm (33% longer).

P.S. Sorry for the odd formatting above - not sure why the system is showing my camera models that way.

Shutter speed on Hikvision DS offers broad range that maximizes low-light operating conditions 1/25(1/30) s to 1/50,000 s.

I find it interesting that the FOV is significantly different from manufacturer to manufacturer

Hanwha/Samsung QND-7020R

Northern Video NTH-IP3VFD

Vari-Focal Lens of 2.8mm - 12mm

AoV of 28 - 91 degrees

 

Interesting shift of AoV between the Hikvision and Northern cameras. Looking closer I found the imager sizes differ. The Hikvision having a 1/2.8" imager while the Northern stuck a 1/3" imager in the camera.

Also to note, of the 3 I chose, the Northern has a fixed iris while the other two use auto irises. Wouldn't this make it harder to dial in a great image in daytime vs nighttime?

Varifocal lens = 3.3mm - 119.00mm

AoV = 1.7 - 57 Degrees

 

What I found interesting was the range of the focal length on the Axis cam, due to it being a PTZ and its range of zoom (36x)

 

A question I do have, like a few of my classmates, is the pan and tilt speed. What measurement do they use?

After Reviewing I found that the different size image sensors and lens mfg even if indicated that its a 4mm lens that the AoV can be different.
