Recently installed one of these inside a warehouse covering ~20 overhead trailer doors. I have to say I was very impressed with the coverage and image quality. Made me re-think my thoughts on wide area camera's, I have never used one that produced a satisfactory image.
I did have one interesting issue when using the Axis VMD application on all three image streams it seemed to overload the camera processor and live viewing was very sluggish. Took me a while to figure this out and re-installing the application and re-applying settings got things working well again.

Thanks, Ethan!
Trying to compare the FOVs in this picture, I'm wondering is the Vivotek image not level here?

Hello,
I am curious about the mounting height of the 180 cameras in your test. I have a contractor trying to tell me mounting them at 25' and trying to view the walkway below is best practice. I see pedestrians feet from the middle sensor and mostly blue sky from the right and left sensors.
