EarlT 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Is it just me, or do these Sanyo HD cameras stand alone in their quality at their price range. I keep looking around but always seem to come back to them for the price and quality. I need to get one or two more megapixel cameras but don't want to risk spending more and being disappointed.

rory 0 Posted June 2, 2011 How do they look at night? No IR ... normal exposure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 2, 2011 I live where it gets dark at night (no street lights). I have two WDR cameras that still have usable images when my Sanyo HD4600 dark. But only for a few minutes. With headlights and such, I get decent detail. I have only tested briefly with IR indoors, and it does a decent job, but being a 4mp camera, I don't expect it to be great.

thewireguys 3 Posted June 2, 2011 I like the image from Sanyo but I have had some major supply issues and now they are owned by Panasonic so who knows how long they will be around. Avigilon h.264 has a very nice image also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 So how do those Avigilon's compare price wise. I'm looking for an outdoor dome solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2011 What Sanyo dome are you looking at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2011 They are about the same price. One thing I don't like about the 3100/3300 is the limited choice of frame rates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 Hmm, I guess I didn't look at the specs very close. My HD4600 gives me enough choices. Time to dig through the PDF again. What model Avigilon would you consider a rival to the HD3300? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2011 Any of the 1080P domes. I would just need to know if you need indoor or outdoor. What VMS are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 Outdoor. I have an Avermedia NV6420e8 and am running demo of Exacq and just dl'd Milestone to try. I am not really nailed down on my NVR choice. I like the Avermedia, but know it doesn't appear to support Avigilon IP cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 They are about the same price. One thing I don't like about the 3100/3300 is the limited choice of frame rates. Now that I have looked at the specs, they appear to have the same options as the HD4600, just limited to two streams. That's all I am using on my HD4600 so that would not bother me.

EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 The 2100/2300/3100/3300 are limited to only 15 or 30FPS That must be the total spread across the two streams. I really only need one stream for recording and typically keep it at 15fps or less, so I should be fine if I go that route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The MJPEG has totally different settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skane 0 Posted June 3, 2011 Is it just me, or do these Sanyo HD cameras stand alone in their quality at their price range. I keep looking around but always seem to come back to them for the price and quality. I need to get one or two more megapixel cameras but don't want to risk spending more and being disappointed. I'm testing 2300 and 2500 now, very nice cams. Sanyo just had a price drop too. I was at my distributors place yesterday, and looks like availability of some models are affected by the earthquake in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 Lets talk Sanyo cameras and Avigilon Control Center software. Will ACC pull both h.264 and/or mpeg streams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2011 No it will not and I only know a couple of VMS's that take advantage of multi streams in the cameras. Avigilon CC will use the dual streams in the Avigilon H.264 cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 But can it pull either H.264 or if you want full 4mp quality jpeg? Is it limited like Exacq to what ever you have the first stream set to output? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted June 3, 2011 No Exacq can pull one or the other. H.264 or MJPEG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarlT 0 Posted June 3, 2011 No Exacq can pull one or the other. H.264 or MJPEG. Yes I am aware of that. Will ACC do the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak357 0 Posted June 4, 2011 No Exacq can pull one or the other. H.264 or MJPEG. Yes I am aware of that. Will ACC do the same? Yes,the same ACC will not do 4MP on MJPEG max 1920x1080 just tried on my demo system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
