Thank you, I've been eagerly awaiting this test and I'm left disappointed. At least Arecont is consistent.

I think it is a great idea however the blind spots on the side and underneath are a concern.
In regards to the image quality i feel you should try to adjust the camera setting to fit the specific scene. Its difficult to put a camera up with default settings and expect it to work well in any environment.
Generally when i am setting up cameras on demo displays i would spend some time making adjustments to get them performing as well as i can. Sometimes a small change can make a huge difference.
I would be interested to see you showing 2 test images. 1 default, 1 with optimised settings for that particular scene.

The pink colours make it look like a stuck IR cut filter....

We are using 2 of these cameras 6MP WDR 2.8mm in production under a parcel sorting machine and we are very happy with them.
Considering Arecont previous issues with multi images which we also experienced these cameras work just fine, no resets and no color filters block.
We experimented a lot with the blind spot and found out that if you rotate them in 90 and 270 degrees angles so that horizontal pixels become vertical and vice-versa the cameras will overlap a little bit and there will be no blind spot underneath. The cameras are mounted at approx 2m height.The colors quality depends on the setting indoor/outdoor/mixed mode.
For us this type of camera brings cost saving in terms of Milestone licenses and is a little bit cheaper than 2 Hikvision 3MP cameras + 2 licenses + 2 x cabling + 2 x switch ports + 2x installation cost. In the long run saving is increasing with Milestone annual support for only 1 license.
Hope this helps.

Is this a form of flattery?
You need to know how to browse their Chinese site to find it...
