In the first rise in maximum megapixel resolution in 5 years, Hanwha has announced a 32MP / 8K camera directly competing with Avigilon's H4 30MP / 7K camera.
That camera looks huge! Bigger then Axis or Sony. Will be interesting to see what housings it fits in. Also did they mention if it will have AI on board?
The Sony E-mount lenses are smaller than the Canon EF mount. Also, I have the Sony, Axis and Avigilon PRO cameras so I have a very good understanding of the size of the cameras and lenses.
Heat buildup can be a problem in that scenario. Also, I hope the Hanwha handles pyrotechnic displays in the stadiums a bit better, by not just locking up for a few minutes.
I voted very, because I am very interested in the cameras and technology. However, I have zero interest in paying so much for them. So until they go to about 1/15th of the price I will be ignoring them.
Not on camera but you can with the AI appliance. Also, Avigilon PRO cameras are still the H4 line so I would assume when the H5 PROs come they would have analytics on the full line.
I have seen Avigilon lock a few projects in the ME region early on by persuading the project consultant to specify at least one 30 MP camera in the RFP (even if it is not necessarily needed).
The big issue with these cameras, guys, is to manage them. HDSM is the real key factor of H4 Pro line. Try to connet 80 of the hanwha cameras to in a Milestone to manage them. I think, the new Hanwha don’t play the same game.
HDSM is much more than this (Maybe your talking about HDMS 1.0). How it works HDSM 2.0 is largo to explain in a response but is not about showing different streams...
Actually, it is a 64 Megapixel sensor. It crops out a 32 megapixel or 8k image from it. You can then do a "lens shift" or virtual camera cropping. This allows for adjusting the FoV without having to manually adjust the camera.
I've contacted Hanwha for a comment on availability, and I will update once I get a response. I'd also like to let you know that Hanwha will be presenting this next week during our online shows, so check that out when if you can. They are slated to be on April 14th, 1 pm EST.
Camera body only. Next month will be the housing, lens, and kits with camera and lens and housing and other mount accessories.

Does Avigilon run any of their analytics on their 6k and 7k cameras?

why the round down to 32 from 33?

Cool, the analytics can detect if a bag wears glasses or not! :-)

Is this real yet? It's on their website but I don't see it listed in distribution anywhere.
