the 4 lens pano really takes care of the resolution concerns I had over the 3 lens pano; has much better recording resolution..
4096×1800 vs 4096×832

these cameras might be running in corridor mode, a 3mm 2MP 16:9 rotated 90 would be pretty close to 45 degrees
You're right about corridor mode, you can see the seems in Korgoth's video.

As for resolution, this actually has the same pixel density as the 3 camera model (they're both 4096/180˚), it just has nearly twice the vertical FOV. But, you give up some lens speed (f2.0 vs f1.8) for that extra vertical FOV.

So if 44˚vertical is acceptable for an installation, the IPC-PFW8601-A180 is probably the better option (based on the slightly faster lens, and presumably cheaper cost). Having 80˚vertical FOV is pretty sweet though...

FYI: My curiosity got the better of me and I ordered the IPC-PDBW8800-A180 from Andy. I'll keep you all in the loop as I test it out.

If only those multi sensor cams could be priced under $300 or so. But once they reach PTZ territory then I think most people would rather spend that money on a PTZ.

Does anyone know if the IPC-PDBW8800-A180 can be flush mounted to a ceiling? All of the pictures show a screw on mounting system.

I just received one from Andy, and it's definitely not designed for flush mounting. It's designed to screw in. But if you have access to your ceiling joists, it should be possible with some extra effort.

The pfb302s mount is not listed as an accessory for the PDBW8800-180, but that's probably because it doesn't provide enough clearance from a wall for a camera the size of this one. It should work though as the pipe fitting is listed as the same size (G1 1/2"). Anyway, assuming the pfb302s does indeed fit, you can attach that and a junction box to a ceiling joist or cross member aligning the pipe fitting with the opening for the camera. If you position the height correctly, when the camera is screwed into the mount you should end up with a flush mounted camera covering a large hole in your ceiling.

If you decide to try something like this, measure things before you make any purchasing decisions. If you've got 2x6 ceiling joists with no open space above them (e.g. attic) the pfb302s won't fit. Eyeballing the camera and based on the dimensions of the mount, it looks like you'd need around 6.5" of vertical clearance above the ceiling.

Realize that even flush mounted, this thing is not going to go unnoticed. It's pretty big.

Thanks for the detailed response. It looks like the IPC-PFW8800-A180 may be a better fit in my use case. I was hoping for a flush mount under an eave so I don't have to damage the siding.
