Repositionable Multi-Imager Camera Shootout - Avigilon, Axis, Dahua, Hanwha, Hikvision, Panasonic, Vivotek

By: Ethan Ace and Rob Kilpatrick, Published on Jun 19, 2019

Repositionable multi-imager cameras are one of the fastest growing segments in video surveillance, with a slew of new offerings being recently released but who is the best and worst?

REVISI1 1

To see who stands out, we bought and tested 10 repositionable models from 7 manufacturers:

The video below provides a quick overview of the models and manufacturers included:

Cameras were ranked across 10 criteria:

  • Field of view options: Repositionable multi-imager models varied greatly in how closely imagers may be positioned, whether they can be panned or rotated to corridor mode, and how easily they may be moved.
  • Zoom range: Some tested models include fixed lenses while others include motorized varifocal options with big differences in focal length range.
  • Size / weight differences: Cameras ranged from under four pounds to over 15, with sizes ranging from low profile and small diameter to over 12" wide.
  • Daytime details: Cameras were tested at ~300 lux at distances ranging from 20' to 80' to see how well lit scene performance differed.
  • Night details: Cameras were tested in a very dark <0.1 lux scene to show differences between IR cameras and non-IR models.
  • Low light detail: Low light color performance was tested at multiple ranges at ~2 lux to see how details differ.
  • WDR performance: All models tested included true WDR performance, tested to see how each handles strong backlight and darker areas of the scene.
  • Bandwidth efficiency: Smart codec bandwidth was tested in day and night scenes using H.264 and H.265, included in most cameras, to see how bitrates compare.
  • Video analytics / VMD performance: Cameras' on board analytics and VMD performance varied drastically, from highly accurate to easily triggered by everyday nuisances like foliage, shadows, or animals.
  • Pricing comparison: Pricing ranged from a low of ~$900 USD to almost $3,000, with higher price not necessarily equaling higher performance/more features.

Plus we examine additional factors which did not impact rankings but are key information for decision-makers, including:

  • VMS H.265/H.264 streaming and configuration support
  • VMS video analytic/VMD event support
  • Number of VMS licenses required
  • Country of origin

And we declare winners for best value, worst value, best low light, best positioning, and best analytics.
