IP cams at lower resolutions - crop or keep the full FOV?

Recommended Posts

So, the Hikvision/Swann keeps the same field of view at both 1080p and 720p, which I believe is a smart move for a consumer oriented camera, since explaining this kind of thing to people without IP cam experience can be frustrating for both parties.

 

Which MP IP cams keep the full field of view at lower resolution, besides Hikvision and Vivotek?

 

Dahua crops when you switch to lower resolution, and there have been some threads complaining about this.

 

What about other popular cams?

I've not noticed cropping in the dahua IPC-HDB3200C, and IPC-HDBW3202. Every resolution, be it 720p, 1080p, and even D1 substream show the exact same fov. Is it that I'm not analyzing it correctly? I'm just looking at the live views.

No, you're right. I was mis-remembering the complaint thread, which had to do with the 3MP vs 1080p settings, which have to be different FOVs.

 

Never mind, carry on...
