Hey Guys, got an odd situation for you. We are looking for cameras for monitoring a sporting event, so the requirements are a little odd and would appreciate some advice/help. Basically we need 4x cameras for the first phase, but possibly a number more. Based on testing so far, we think we need specs as follows:
All cameras should be capable of 30fps ideally, 25fps min and H264 or better.
Cam1:
Ideally
All cameras should be capable of 30fps ideally, 25fps min and H264 or better.
Cam1:
Ideally
- 3mp+ (greater than full HD ideally as it will be used for record reviews), even better if its 4mp+ so we can do a good high quality digital zoom where required.
- 12mm or greater zoom that can be controlled remotely.
- Bullet form factor highly preferred.
- Min of dual stream, so we can feed a SD (or close to) feed to a decoder.
- SD card slot.
- Full external rated (IP67) as will be used around saltwater.
- Will be used exclusively during daylight, so starlight / IR is irrelevant. Decent dynamic range is a bonus though.
- Ideally a local analogue output for monitoring the video captured.
- HD resolution.
- Secondary stream of SD at 30FPS or close to.
- Zoom of 32mm that can be controlled remotely.
- Will be inside a waterproof housing, but not an issue if its an IP67 rated and format optional.
- Major league zoom... say 200mm. Its got to display a 2.5m wide object taking up 1/2 to 2/3 of the screen at up to 200m range. We do have an existing camera we can push through an encode if necessary so this is certainly an optional camera.
- Will also be inside a waterproof housing
- Ideally HD.
