help me choose a replacement for axis 1054

[stephaneD]

Hi i own a reef aquarium store i have 8x AXIS M1054 cam on blue iris ans i like hem but i need someting better in aquarium area.
it is use to film customer. Some put there hand in water we got even some expensive coral stolen. with axis it s very hard to see the hand picking up
in the tank. one major problem i think is we use very high power blue lighting for the tank and it seem to make the cam
bluring so it would be good i think to have a cam i could install orange filter. i would like to install 2-3 or more cam to realy have a close up could some of you point me out to the right cam.
thank you

What does it look like if you force it to stay in B/W? Beyond that, that probably isn't the best camera for the application. Maybe something like the Dahua IPC-EW5531-AS 5MP Fisheye Camera as you are already using BI

I stand a bit corrected. It won't dewarp in live view, but it will in playback mode. SmartPSS will do it.

At a minimum, you should have 2 cameras on either side looking down the length. The camera should be lower as well. Maybe @mat200 has a recommended camera for you.

yea 2 cam is probably minimum, when dark store close no need cam so dont need good night vision
i need audio in , not sure about focal so probably best to have varifocal and POE, turet or dome would be best cause the cam need to be lower and i dont want people to play with them im reading on cam all over the place there is so
many model and option that i need a bit of help to put me in the right direction. i thought i have found the best one but after reading on it seem like movement detection is only available on one chanel so wont make it

I have the HDBW-4231, but I don't need the motion detection on both channels, so it works fine for my purposes. I linked to the review of that camera. If you don't need MD (which it would probably be going off a bit too much in that environment), it may work.

I don't have Blue Iris. Maybe @looney2ns can tell you if it works.

Yes, but the BI detection will do a much better job when correctly setup.
