Has there been a multi-imager shoot out with the Axis, Vivotek, Pelco, and Avigilon? Curious how the group stacks up the to Avigilon 9MP HD multi sensor camera (which seems in need of product refresh). While the tech seems OK from Digital Watch Dog that lack of OVINF support seems like a non-starter. Who is going to buy this over an Axis or Pelco camera when you need to rev your entire VMS.

I have to complaints with the DW panos. The first is the vertical field of view, the second is how slow and cumbersome the UI is, the camera seems to take forever to boot up. DW just released a couple of new panos that I hope will address these issues. We have sold several of them and have one on our building and for the most part have been happy with them.
After going through what we did with Arecont we didn't sell multi images for 2 years, it's good to see companies releasing better products.

I was really looking forward to seeing this camera, one of my customers was asking me to test after ISC West. After this side by side, is there any reason for me to specify this over the Axis Q3709? The price points are similar and in my opinion the image quality is very similar. Why offer a proprietary option vs a much more well (VMS) adapted camera? The extra bandwidth doesn't seem worth it.
