Hello,

Here are my results:

1. Axis P5635-E:

• Varifocal lens (PTZ) = 4.3 - 129.0 mm
• AoV = 2.4 - 63.5 degrees

2.Mobotix Mx-Q25-D16

• Fixed focus = 1.6 mm
• AoV = 180.0 degrees

3. Panasonic WV-SFV781L

• Varifocal lens = 4.2 - 25.2 mm
• AoV = 17.0 - 100.0 degrees

An interesting find on the Panasonic WV-SFV781L; the widest angle at 4.2mm is 100.0 degrees while the telephoto angle is 17.0 degrees. That is a very wide zoomed shot if we compare to Axis P5635-E because the size of the imager of Panasonic WV-SFV781L is 1/1.7" inch while the size of the imager of Axis P5635-E is 1/2.8”.

Here are my results:

1. Avigilon 2.0W-H3PTZ-DP20

• Varifocal Lens (PTZ) = 4.7 - 94mm
• AOV = 2.9 - 55.2 Degrees

2. Pelco IMP519-1EI

• Varifocal Lens = 3.0 - 9mm
• AOV = 30 - 88 Degrees

3. VIVOTEK SF8174V

• Fixed Lens = 1.5mm
• AOV = 180, 360 Degrees

It was really interesting comparing the different cameras and just seeing how the cameras can be so alike and still have a slightly different view. Can this be attributed to the manufacturers trying to cut cost of production and maybe not using the best parts or more just a design flaw in the camera that could limit its abilities?

One example would be that certain PTZ cameras that i looked at had a much more limited range of tilt than others. Even though the lens length and AOV were very similar to the model I was comparing it to.

ACTi E69:
Lens Focal Length: 2.8mm - 12.0mm
AoV: 35° - 92°

Axis M3025-VE:
Lens Focal Length: 3.6mm
AoV: 91°

Arecont Vision AV1455DN-S:
Lens Focal Length: 4.0mm
AoV: 53°

Here are my results:

• Axis - M3024-LVE:
• Fixed focus = 2.8mm lens
• AoV = 77 degrees

• Samsung - SND-7080:
• Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 8.5mm
• AoV = 35.3 - 100 degrees

• Sony - SNC-CX600:
• Fixed focus = 1.83mm
• AoV = 120 degrees

ACTi-B55

Fixed Focus 1.37mm lens

AoV= 360 degrees

Dlink DCS-6915

Auto Focus 4.7 mm -94 mm lens

AoV = 4-52 degrees

Arecont Vision AV1455DN-S

Fixed Focus 4.0 mm lens

AoV = 53 degrees

I'm not sure if I have the dlink information correct. This is a PTZ camera.

Bosch NDN-733V02

motorized varifocal: 1.8mm - 3.0mm

AoV: 77.0° - 105.0°

Axis P3301

varifocal: 2.8mm - 10.0mm

AoV: 23.0° - 72.0°

Sony SNC-VM602R

Varifocal 3.0mm - 9.0mm

AoV: 31.0° - 93.0°

Interesting to see that widest AoV of the Sony is still wider than the Axis while the "numbers of the focal length" would suggest that 2.8mm (72 degrees) would be wider than the 3.0 mm (93 degrees)

Here are my results:

1- Dahua IPC-HFW8331E-Z

Varifocal lens=2.8mm - 12.0mm

AoV=25.8 - 81.2 degrees

2- Hikvision DS-2CD2232-I5

Fixed lens = 4mm

AoV = 79 degrees

3- Mobotix Q25

fixed lens = 1.8 mm

Aov = 360 degrees

Hi,
My results are below :
Axis M3004-V (220$)
Fixed focal lens : 2.8 mm
Aov : 80°

Hikvision DS-2CD2112F-IWS (160$)
Fixed focal : 2.8 mm
AoV : 92.5

VIVOTEK FD8154 (220£$)
Fixed focal : 2.8 mm
AoV : 101°

I find that the difference of AoV with the same lens is very huge over 20%
Now I understand that it’s better to look only the AoV.
It’s also interesting to see the variation and the relation between distance, width and ppm
Interesting !

I did the following cameras:

IQinVision IQ852

Focal Length- 2.9mm

AoV- 80 degrees

Panasonic WV-SW155

Focal Length- 1.95mm

AoV- 104 degrees

Sony SNC- CH110

2.34 Focal Length

AoV- 104 degrees

Here is what I found:

1) Axis Q6044

varifocal lens: 4.4mm - 132mm

AoV: 2.2 - 62.9 degrees

2) Axis P1204

Fixed focal lens: 3.7mm

AoV: 57 degrees

3) Axis M1054

Fixed focal lens: 2.8mm

AoV: 84 degrees

I noticed the camera finder did not have a lot of Axis camera models that my company uses. I can easily find the models on the internet, however. I'm curious the reason they are not in the tool.

1. Bosch NEZ-4212-PPCW4

• Varifocal lens = 61.2 - 5.1mm
• AoV = 4.6° - 51.3°

2. Pansonic WV-SFV481

• Fixed lens = 1.34mm
• AoV = 180°

3. Vivotek SF8174

• Fixed lens = 1.5mm
• AoV = 180°, 360° Dual panorama, Fisheye

Many of the Panoramic cameras offer extremely high resolution (12mp, 4k) but cap out FPS at 15

Here's my 3:

Spectra HD Series IP Dome

Varifocal- 1.6-3.5

AoV- 55.4 to 2.9

Spectra Mini IP Series Network Dome

Focal- 1.8

AoV- 46.4 to 5

Satrix IMP Series Environmental Mini Dome with IR

Focal- 1.2

AoV- 88 to 19

SNO-5080R

• AoV: 28° - 94°
• Lens Focal Length: 2.8mm - 10.0mm

Axis Q6042-S

• AoV: 1.7° - 57.2°
• Lens Focal Length: 3.3mm - 119.0mm

ACTi D54

• AoV: 60°
• Lens Focal Length: 3.6mm

I found it interesting on the second camera I selected. It is a PTZ camera and the amazing amount of optical focal length you cam get in such a small package.

Foscam FI9821W

• AoV = 80 degrees
• Fixed 2.9mm

Arecount AV20366PMTIR-SH

• AoV = 47 degrees to 89 degrees
• Varifocal 4.0mm - 8.0mm

Samsung SNP-5430H

• AoV = 1.4 degreees to 53.9 degrees
• Varifocal 3.5mm - 150.5

Here are the cameras that I researched

1. Hikvision DS-2CD7283F-EZI

Varifocal Lens 3.5mm-9.0mm

AoV 36 degrees - 92 degrees

2. ACTi D31

Fixed lens 4.2mm

AoV 55 degrees

3. Dahua SD6423E-HN

Varifocal lens 3.9 mm- 89.7mm

AoV 3 degrees - 61 degrees

I am fascinated by the difference is AoV degrees between the Hikvision and Dahua cameras. Even though they both have a varifocal lens the Hikvision is a dome camera and the Dahua is a PTZ.

Axis P3354-V

• Varifocal Lens: 2.5-6mm
• AoV: 105 - 49 degrees

Sony DH-160

• Varifocal Lens: 3.1-8.9mm
• AoV: 85.4 - 31.2 degrees

Samsung SND-L6012

• Fixed Lens: 2.8mm
• AoV: 110 degress

ACTi ACM-3701E - Focal Length = 3.6mm, AoV = 72 degrees

Hikvision DS-2CD855-El3 - Focal Length = 6mm, AoV = 45 degrees

Pelco IMP319-1l - Focal Length = 3-9mm, AoV = 30-87 degrees

D-Link DCS-6315
Varifocal lens = 2.8mm-12.0mm

Aov 28.0 - 90 Degrees

Avigilon 5.0-H3-B3

Varifocal lens = 9mm - 22.0mm

AoV 12 - 28 Degrees

Axis Q6044-E

Varifocal Lens 4.4mm-132mm

AoV 2.2 - 62.9 Degrees

Bosch NIN-932-V03

Varifocal: 3–9 mm,

Angle of view: 28°–83°

Axis P3346-V

Varifocal: 3–9 mm,

Angle of view: 30°-84°

Axis P3365-V

Varifocal: 3–9 mm

Angle of view: 35°-100°

The imager size for the top two is (1/3") and the third (1/2.8").

Honeywell - HB74HD1
Fixed Focus = 3.6mm
AoV* = 80 degrees, being precise, datasheet shows 79,7degrees Horizontal Angle of View.

* AoV was not available at camera details, but using the link "Calculate <camera name>", from camera details or camera webpage, I got the answer - http://ipvm.com/calculator?model=HB74HD1

Ubiquiti UVC-Micro
Fixed Focus = 2.38mm
AoV: 79.1degrees

Axis Q6045
AutoFocus Lens
Focal Lenght = 4.45mm - 89.0mm
AoV:3° - 62°

Hi

And the survey says:

AcTi ACM-3701E

• AoV = 72 degrees
• Focal Length = 3.6mm

Samsung SNV-5010

• AoV = 91 degrees
• Focal Length = 3mm

Geovision GV-MFD1501-4F

• AoV = 124°
• Focal Length = 2.1mm

Here are the results for the three cameras I examined:

Bosch NDN-832v02

FoL 1.8mm-3.0mm

AoV 87-115

Bosch NDN-832v03

FoL 1.8mm-3.0mm, 3.8mm-13.0mm

AoV 70-98, 19-63

Bosch NDN-832v09

FoL 9mm-40mm

AoV 8-37

What struck me is that all three cameras have the same dimensions, weight, FPS but interesting differences. The v02 and the v03 are also the same price yet have significant differences with FoL, AoV and the Imager, v02 is ½” and the v03 is 1/3” and the v03 costs $560 more than the v02. The v09 is the same price as the v02 and its FoL is much longer and the AoV is much tighter (fits within the vo2). So many differences within the same form factor among the three.

These are my results:

Dahua IPC-HFW4100SN

Imager Size: 1/3"

AoV: 70°

Varifocal: 3.6mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm

Hikvision DS-2CD2212-I5 $160

• AoV - 4 - 50 degrees

• Hikvision DS-2DE7184-AE
• PTZ - 4.7 - 94mm
• AoV - 3 - 58 degrees

I noticed that some cameras have different AoVs in relationship to focal length.

• Bosch NEZ-5130-EPCW4
• Varifocal: 129mm - 4.3mm
• AoV: 2.3° - 65°

• Pelco.com IME219-1VI

Trevor Primo

Here are my results:

Sony SNC-EB632R:
Varifocal lens = 3.0mm to 9.0mm
AoV = 35 - 105 degrees

Panasonic WV-SW598:
Varifocal lens (PTZ) = 4.3mm - 129.0mm
AoV = 2.6 - 64.6 degrees

Axis M1114:
Varifocal lens = 2.8mm - 8.0mm
AoV = 29 - 77 degrees - (not listed on IPVM camera finder, located on camera datasheet)

Hello all,

Here are my results:

- Geovision GV-BL2410, Varifocal Lens: 3-9mm AoV: 30.0 - 82.0 degrees

- Hikvision DS 2CD2415F, Fixed Focus: 4mm AoV: 73.0 degrees

- Axis M1124-E, Varifocal Lens: 3-10.5mm AoV: 32.0 - 91.0 degrees

Gareth.

In order from least to most expensive (all are dome PTZs):

Pelco IMP519-1L $750

Focal Length: 3.0-9.0mm AoV: 30-88 degrees

Arecont VisionAV 10255PMTIR-SH $990

Focal Length: 12.0-22.0mm AoV: 17-30 degrees

FLIR DNZ30TL2R $1,500

Focal Length: 5.0mm-129.0 mm AoV: 21.1-58.9 degrees

The interesting point is the difference in focal lengths between the three cameras. The Pelco is designed for close-intermediate range applications while the FLIR is used relatively long range applications, hence the longer focal lengths possible.

Hi all,

I compare 1.3MP (720P) varifocal dome:

ACTi ACM-7411, Lens Focal Length: 3.3mm - 12.0mm , AoV: 23° - 83°, Imager Size: 1/3"

Bosch Security NDN-41012-V3, Lens Focal Length: 3.3mm - 10.0mm, AoV: 35.3° - 105°, Imager Size: 1/2.7"

Hikvision DS-2CD2712F-IS, Lens Focal Length: 2.8mm - 12.0mm, AoV: 30.2° - 98.4°, Imager Size: 1/3"

Interesting!

Same imager size of ACTi and HikVision, 1/3", same focal length at 12mm, the AoV differs a lot! 23 Deg v.s. 30.2 Deg.

Imager size differs 10%, Bosch and ACTi, 1/2.7" v.s. 1/3", same focal length at 3.3mm, the AoV differs 20% ! 83 Deg v.s. 105 Deg.

So the AoV is quite different from different manufacturers and different camera.

• Axis P3367-VE
  Lens Focal Length = 3.0mm-9.0mm
  AoV = 30 - 84 degrees

• Hikvision DS-2CD4165F-IZ
  Lens Focal Length = 2.8mm-12mm
  AoV = 30.5 - 94.5 degrees

• Panasonic WV-SFR631L
  Lens Focal Length = 2.8mm - 10mm
  AoV = 28 - 102 degrees

I approached this from a little more than just the AoV numbers themselves, and tried to compare cameras as if I was looking at what to purchase, taking the AoV into account. The Axis camera is a 5mp camera only capable of 12fps and a AoV range of only 54 degrees for $1,170. The Hikvision camera is a 6mp camera capable of 24fps, with an AoV range of 64 degrees for a price of $740. Based on those numbers alone, it is a much more versatile, smoother camera for around $400 less. The Panasonic is a 3mp, 30 fps camera, with the largest AoV range of 74 degrees. The variety of shots capable with this camera may justify the $850 price tag, at a higher fps. However, if a higher megapixel is desired, it is the least impressive in that department. This shows that you often will need to weigh positives and negatives of each camera when contrasting ones with very similar specs, and that price is often not a good indicator of performance.

ACTi - B45:
Verification Lens: 4.9 - 49mm
AoV: 6 - 57 degrees

HIKVision - DS-2CD5184-AE3
Varifocal Lens: 4.7 - 94mm
AoV: 3 - 58 degrees

Samsung SNP-6200RH:
Varifocal Lens: 4.45 - 80mm
AoV: 3 - 62 degrees

With such tight shots as on the HIKVision and Samsung cameras above (3 Degrees), I would think that a lot of thought should be put into the mounting stability to ensure minimum movement of the camera.

Samsung SND-L6013

• Fixed lens - 3.6mm
• AoV - 86.5 degrees

Hikvision DS-2CD2022WD-I

• Fixed lens - 4.0mm or 6.0mm
• AoV - 53.9 degrees or 90 degrees

Bosch NTI-50022-V3

• Varifocal lens - 3.0mm-10mm
• AoV - 36-107 degrees

Here are my results:

Hikvision DS-2CD4585F-IZH

2.8-12mm

32.6-96 degree AOV

Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-I

4.0mm

79 degrees AOV

Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD-A

2.9mm

80 degree AOV

Here are my results:

Axis P3365-VE

◦ Varifocal Lens = 3.0mm - 9.0mm

◦AoV = 35° - 100°

Hikvision DS-2CD2715F-IS

◦Varifocal lens = 2.8mm - 12.0mm

◦AoV = 28° - 80°

Samsung SND-6011R

◦Fixed Focus = 3.9mm

◦AoV = 84°

There is such a large variety of options which makes it hard to compare at least at this stage. I couple items I found interesting was that Hikavision has multiple cameras with the Price as N/A and Axis had multiple cameras with an AoV of "None." (e.g. Axis P3215-VE)

Here are my results:

Hikvision DC-2CD764FWD-EZ:

Varifocal lens = 2.7mm - 9.0m

AoV = 30 - 101 degrees

Samsung - SND-5011

Fixed lens = 3mm

AoV = 91 degrees

Avigilon 1.0W-H3-BO1-IR:

Varifocal lens = 3mm - 9.0mm

AoV = 26 - 79 degrees

Hello,

Here are my results for some of the cameras we are considering for our tech refresh:

1. Vivotek FD836B-HTV (not available on camera finder, from data sheet)
•Varifocal lens = 2.8 - 12.0 mm
•FoV = 42 - 105 degrees

1a. Vivotek FD8363 (next closest to FD836B)
•Varifocal lens = 3 - 9 mm
•AoV = 38 - 104 degrees

2. Vivotek FD8181V (Fisheye, panoramic, dewarped on camera)
•Fixed focus = 1.5 mm
•AoV = 360.0 degrees

3. Hikvision DS-2DE4220-AE(3) PTZ
•Varifocal lens = 4.7 - 94 mm
•AoV = 3.0 - 58.0 degrees

4. Hikvision DS-2CD4526FWD-IZH (low light)
•Varifocal lens = 2.6 - 12 mm
•AoV = 32 - 92.0 degrees

The Vivotek PTZ shows a very small angle of view but since this is a PTZ this should not be a problem.

Interesting the Vivotek FD826B-HTV has the same size lens as the Hikvision DS-2CD4526FWD-IZH (12mm) yet the Hikvision is considered a low light camera. There must be some other image processing taking place on the Hikvision to get down to 0.01 lux with color.

Good Morning

I chose 3 manufactures: PANASONIC , HIKVISION and AVIGILON

PANASONIC: WV-SPW631LT, Lens 9 to 22mm, AoV: 11.5º to 27.40º

HIKVISION: DS-2CD4525FWD-IS, lens 8 to 32mm, AoV: 12.45º to 33.40º

AVIGILON: 1.0W-H3-B02, lens 9 to 32mm, AoV: 11º to 26º

I've got:

Acti ACM-3701E

Fixed focal length 3.6mm

AoV 72 degrees

Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW4120F

Fixed focal length 3.6mm

AoV 67.38 degrees (from Camera Calculator)

Vivotek MD8531H

Fixed focal length 3.6mm

AoV 67.38 degrees (from Camera Calculator)

Interestingly, the data sheet for the Dahua camera shows an AoV of 74 degrees with the 3.6mm lens, and the Vivotek spec'd with the same 3.6mm focal length shows 80 degree horizontal AoV.

My guess is that the IPVM camera calculator must use a general calculation for AoV when dealing with models where different fixed focal length lenses can be spec'd. Could this be changed to offer a more accurate calculation? Or is the manufacturer way off? (It shouldn't surprise anyone if this is the case)

1. Axis P3354

I looked up the following three (3) cameras.

Arecont Vision AV2245PM-D-LG

Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 10mm

AoV = 36 - 117 degrees

Comments: I was hoping for true WDR given where some of these cameras might be placed in corridors with windows to outside on one side.

Axis Q6044-E

PTZ lens = 4.4 - 132mm

AoV = 2.2 - 62.9 degrees

Comments: Zoom on this camera is even tighter than Brian's Hikvision DS-2DE4220.

Arecont 2225PMIR

Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 9mm

AoV = 37 - 115 degrees

General Comments: I found the mug shot with license plate very helpful in evaluating camera performance, especially if you adjust the focal length or FoV/Aov.

AoV : 3 - 58 degrees

Interesting variance for AoV for the two different cameras with 2.8mm lens (86 vs 59 degrees)

**Samsung SND-7080F

Varifocal Lens = 3-8.5mm

AoV = 35.3-100 degrees

**Pelco IME119-1ES

Varifocal Lens = 3-9mm

AoV = 30-84 degrees

**Avigilon 5.0-H3_D01

Varifocal Lens = 3-9mm

AoV = 28-84 degrees

It's interesting that the AoV measurements vary. The imager sizes for each camera did too, so I'm guessing that played at least some part in the discrepancy.

AoV 89 degrees

ACTi E-53

Fixed 3.6MM

Aov 72 degrees

Uniview IPC-3232ER-VS/DV

Aov-100 Degrees

I can see the smaller the focal length the wider the coverage, but large deifference between the VFocal and the Fixed re:Arecont and Uniview.

Hello,

Here are my results:

1. ACTi B51 Dome:

• Lens Focal Length: 1.9mm
• AoV: 129°

2. ACTi E69 Dome:

• Lens Focal Length: 2.8mm - 12.0mm
• AoV: 35° - 92°

3. Samsung - SND-7080:

• Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 8.5mm
• AoV = 35.3 - 100 degrees

An interesting find on the Samsung - SND-7080; the widest angle at 3.0mm is 100 degrees while the telephoto angle is 35.3 degrees at 8.5mm in comparison to Acti E69 which provides telephoto angle of 35.0 degrees at 12.0mm and wide angle of 92 degrees at 2.8mm. Although Samsung has more AOV compare to Acti..

ACTi E31

Focal Length: 4.2mm

AoV: 55.0°

D-Link DCS-6111

Focal Length: 3.3mm - 12.0mm

AoV: 18.0° - 63.0°

Pelco IME3122-1EP

Focal Length: 9.0mm - 22.0mm

AoV: 12.0° - 30.0°

The biggest thing that interested me is that D-link makes way more cameras than I knew about. I'd looked at them for small home installations in the past and there wasn't much to offer.

Samsung SNV-8081R:

Vari: 3.6-9.4

AoV: 39.2 - 104

Avigilon 3.0W-H3-DO1:

Vari: 3.0-9.0

AoV: 28-84

Vivotek FD9371-HTV:

Vari: 3.0-9.0

AoV: 41-86

The imager size on the Samsung was a "huge" 1 1/8" compared to the 1/2.8" of the Vivotek and the 1/3" of the Avigilon. They were all about the same price, but for the money it looks like the Samsung was the best. The only other advantage that the other two may have had was the 3x optical zoom of the Avigilon.

Also, the Samsung had Corridor Mode, which is really sweet. Here is the article describing it: http://ipvm.com/reports/corridor-mode-tested

Hello,

Here are the three cameras that I have selected:

Bosch Security NTI-50022-V3

• Varifocal lens = 3.0mm - 10.0mm
• AoV = 36 - 107 degrees

Axis P1405-E

• Varifocal lens = 2.8mm - 10.0mm
• AoV = 34 -93 degrees

Pelco EVO-05NID

• Fixed focus = 1.6mm
• AoV = None (panoramic)

The imager size on all of these cameras is less than 1/3". All three are very close to 1/3" but not exactly there.
