Experiences With Hikvision DS-2CD2955FWD-IS Vs DS-2CD2942F-IS

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experiences with the two current fisheye cameras from Hikvision, specifically the 5MP DS-2CD2955FWD-IS vs the 4MP DS-2CD2942F-IS? The 4MP camera has been limited to 186/106 FOV, but the newer 5MP one states it is 180/180 FOV where with the 4MP we had those annoying cutoffs on the vertical part with the 106 degree vertical view. Are those cutoffs now gone with the newer 5MP? 

Example of one of our current 4MP installs (yes yes, people may not like the slightly off alignment, but client wanted that): 

 

Thanks,

Nathan

Hikvision confirms yes, cutoffs are gone with the newer 5MP, noting the "2942 is a full frame (Wide angle) fisheye" while "the new 2935 and 2955 are circular fisheyes".

I can't speak to the 2942, but the 2955 has been great for us.

Thank you both. This definitely clears up several use cases for us and will be able to quote the 2935 as a lower cost option to the 2955.
