The security management sub-set of end users might have a difference of opinion than the majority of integrators.
My aspect ratio split is 75% 4:3 and 25% 16:9. I like the added details of below a camera.
What aspect ratio do security integrators prefer? The 'standard' 4:3 or the 'wide' 16:9 one?
100+ integrators told us what they preferred, with a dominating winner.
In this note, we examine why integrators so strongly prefer 16:9, why they do so and what the tradeoffs are of these aspect ratios?

me too.. a perfect indoor (retail/shop) camera would be 90º by 90º placed in a corner, then you won't miss a thing..
I'm really happy about Axis P1427-LE 5MP cameras delivering 2592x1944 (4:3) perfect for corner views og mounted on a pole, where you can watch the earth beneath the cam and the rest of the scene. Protecting the cam against vandalism or tampering..
But it is not the 4:3 ratio that is it important, the FOV is the important part. And i really like that most Axis camera is choosable in ratio.
YUP 4:3 provides most collateral video and displays best in tile view.
I am curious if 16:9 was popular due to the resolution of cameras used versus the option of 16:9 v. 4:3?
