I'm looking for a wireless camera with various lens options for a custom analytics application. On the first look I couldn't find any available models from Axis or Bosch. Do you have any suggestions?

Gautham, take a look at these 5 wireless varifocal Hikvision results in our Camera Finder. There may be others from Hikvision we are not tracking but from checking Hikvision's website I did not find a clear way to show their wireless cameras.

Thanks John. Looks like the cameras manufacturers aren't paying attention to wireless category (of course with varifocal lens) at all.

Looks like the cameras manufacturers aren't paying attention to wireless category (of course with varifocal lens) at all.

Primary concerns are reliability issues and range restrictions with wireless cameras. Those two make them unattractive generally for professional use.

That noted, the most rapidly developing consumer market is the totally wireless segment, e.g., Arlo Go, Hikvision Ezviz mini Trooper, Blink, etc.

I would suggest your usual varifocal camera you use with analytics and then a wireless setup such as the Ubiquiti devices. Price is very good and these are reliable.
