Avigilon Pro 4K Camera Tested

Author: Ethan Ace, Published on Jan 03, 2017

Avigilon is best known for their large sensor, high megapixel cameras. But with new offerings from Sony and soon Axis, the questions is how well their H4 Pro Series can keep up with competitors.

In this report, we tested the Avigilon 4K Pro (8L-H4PRO-B) against Sony's 35mm SNC-VB770, along with 1/2" super low light models from Axis and Hikvision to see how they stack up.
