Alternatives To Arecont For Outdoor 180 Streetview?
We've used the AV8185DN for several years in this outdoor application. At that time it was about the only offering for this type of application. Telephone Pole mounted, monitoring street view in 180 degree of coverage. Have had decent video recording but the failure rate has been frustrating. Just recently had a few more fail, and I'm wondering if there's been a new alternative. Most of the other panoramics I've looked into are Fisheye, and don't lend themselves to horizontal viewing, nor do they have decent night vision. More for center of a room 360 coverage. I ran the camera finder and the Best Match, but didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
There's the Scallop multi-imager 180s though they have low frame rate at full resolution.
I am hearing a number of manufacturers are announcing multi-imagers at ISC West. Pelco has already publicly mentioned this though not officially announced it yet.
Digital Watchdog just released a 180 3 sensor camera. I haven't tried it but it is the only other alternative that i can think of.
Avigilon has one: LINK
Unfortunately its still limited to JPEG2000 compression.
Here's an odd one from Stardot:
20MP Dual-hemispheric, vandal resistant, multi-imager, 180 degree camera. Seems like a natural on a pole. Seems like a waste of space as well though. Available now.
Have you looked at the new Axis Q6000-E? It is a 360 view with 4 multi-imagers and can also add a PTZ camera...
Update: A number of new multi-imager panoramics were announced in April:
