If I were to guess, I'd say that Avigilon is just getting out in front of all terms that can be used for comparison because that's how executives and other non-technical people usually determine value.

No idea on the framerate yet?
2 (SPF) seconds per frame?
H.264 has a max. bit rate that makes it hard to imagine that the framerate can be anything but doggy.
And when the framerate drops the interframe efficiency typically drops as well.

One thing that comes to mind with these _K cameras: are they going to be 16:9, like 4K or 8K (actual standard resolutions), or will they still be 4:3? Might not matter to many, but especially in very wide areas, it would seem that taller fields of view are more useful.

Finding a way to add 1M more pixels into a camera when existing 29MP camera aren't exactly flying off the shelves just seems like a tradeshow stunt.

IPVM,
I would like to request a test of the Avigilon H4 PRO series cameras.
Any way you can do it?

I really do not think they were the first to introduce a camera with that pixel count...
Have you seen Spark cameras? 36MP with single camera, Spark is a manufacturer from Italy and I just met them in a security show in Dubai

What's next, one camera in orbit with enough pixels to cover the entire planet? When does the "pixel envy" stop?

a higher amount of Megapixels only matters if the Imager/Lens allows you to see benefit of it...
there are 10mp cam's out there that don't look as good as 3mp, the 30mp Avigilon looks amazing becouse it's a full frame sensor and full size Lens, simple as that.
I'd love to see a 4k cam (real 4k, 4000/2160res) built by Hik with a 1 or 2 inch sensor, nice lens (make it compatible with some widely available DSLR Lens) and actually enjoy the quality without the off the planet price tag (so something like $3-600)

Avigilon is showing the 7K camera. A few interesting things.
They are marketing it as 7K / 30MP, which makes sense and avoids the inevitable questions - what does 7K mean?
They are demoing the 7K camera on (4) 4K monitors to make the point that it so so much more than 4K.
However, as their own video shows, the frame rate is very low (looks to be ~3fps):
