nifter53 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Hi there, I'm looking for an outdoor PTZ for an airport. I've narrowed it down to Axis. (I had considered bosch but they are still getting their onvif drivers fully rolled out for PTZ support) Does anyone have any experience with the below cameras? AXIS Q6032-E 35x D1 AXIS Q6034-E 18x 720p AXIS 233D 35x D1 My debate is whether to go for larger zoom @ D1 resolution or less zoom @ HD resolution. Thoughts?

thewireguys 3 Posted October 15, 2010 They both have the same zoom when it is all said and done. Also look at Sanyo's 1080P PTZ http://www.axis.com/products/cam_q6034e/video/index.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nifter53 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Hey Mike, Thanks for the reply! I really like the sanyo HD5600, it looks great. The only problem is that one end of the runway is about 1km from the camera. I'm concerned that the 10x zoom will not be enough. The Axis 214PTZ I've got doesn't cut it with its 18x zoom. What distances have you used the HD5600 with. Also, do they make an outdoor enclosure for it? It's cold up here. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted October 15, 2010 I have not install the Sanyo PTZ but I have seen video and the image is amazing. This is from Axis's site: "AXIS Q6034-E provides 18x optical and 12x digital zoom with autofocus. Due to its HDTV resolution, the camera's 18x zoom provides not only a level of detail that is comparable to a 36x-zoom, 4CIF camera, but also the extra advantage of a wider, 16:9 field of view."

Biphase 0 Posted October 23, 2010 I've narrowed it down to Axis. (I had considered bosch but they are still getting their onvif drivers fully rolled out for PTZ support) What do you mean by that? The autodome is onvif compliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
