Are there any plans to document the client CPU/GPU usage between the different fisheye cameras your testing?

This model only supports H.264. Do you know if Axis plans to support H.265 on this model?

Make a comparison between the 3 tested models of 12 mp.
Axis, Vivotek and Avigilon.

Do you think this is OEMed from Brickstream (Flir)? http://www.brickstream.com/

Hi,
What Milestone VMS and Smart Client versions was used in this test with Axis dewarping plugin?

Is the chart supposed to be in Mb/s or Kb/s? 3,200 Mbs? Just to nitpick....
As to the ImmerVision Dewarping. ExacQ supports a lot of fisheyes with this plug in, but it never works as well as the native. We had a lot of problems with the dewarping of the Axis M3047 with ExacQ and the ImmerVision codec. Once they updated the software version to support it, it worked leaps and bounds better.

Ethan, did you by chance open a ticket with Nx about the lack of a sub stream? Is it not possible to setup a sub stream of the warped view, say around VGA resolution, in the camera web interface?

Would like to see vs Panasonic WV-X4171, please compare.

How high is this camera (and all comparable fisheyes) mounted for testing?

Thanks... I'm think of these cams being used in an environment where they are ceiling hung at about 20'. The Axis camera calculator doesn't even have this camera yet. How do I determine the viewable square footage it would cover?

Hi all,
As noted above, the sensor is a 12MP sensor but the maximum resolution is 8.9MP. This is based on a rectangular chip but essential a square (circle inside) image. Are all 12MP sensors rectangular and therefore all 360 cameras marketed as 12MP about 8.9MP usable resolution? Are any 12MP sensors a square chip, allowing use of all the pixels?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Roger,
I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear. I'm specifically speaking about 360 degree cameras which use a round fisheye lens. For a traditional lens, I don't see an issue. This question is meant specifically for 360 cameras. If I recall correctly a small group of 360 cameras use an oblong lens (I think Sony) but most use a round lens.
Thanks for the response!
