Does anyone have experience with these cameras, or 360 degree cameras in general? Axis M3027-PVE Samsung SNF-8010-VM I'm contemplating a 360 degree camera to monitor my front yard, entryway, and sidewalk. It would hang under eaves at a central unobstructed location. I know it's a bit of a compromise vs. a multicamera solution, but I want a system with a low profile. Desired specs are: 5MP+ On-camera dewarping (3x independent streams) Outdoor rated Am I overlooking any other models? Thanks!

I'm looking for a midrange fixed dome camera with the following rough specs: * 1280x720 @ 10fps * Day/night IR filter * $400-700 * Varifocal, 80 degrees wide * IP66 preferred * Decent low-light performance, hopefully down to 0.2 lux B/W @ 1/15s without IR I've been poking around quite a few vendor and manufacturer websites lately, and here are the frontrunners so far: * ACTi TCM-7411 * IQeye IQM31NE * Everfocus EHN3200 * Panasonic WV-SF346 * Samsung SNV-5080R * Sony SNC-DH120T The specs for those all seem pretty similar to me, so it sort of comes down to reputation/experience and video samples, all of which are difficult to find online. Anyone have any favorites? Is there something else that should be on the short list? Are CCTV-focused brands (ACTi, IQeye, Everfocus) generally preferable to large conglomerates (Pana, Samsung, Sony)? Thanks for your help.
