New Panoramic Cams from Dahua

IPC-PDBW8800-A180 today get one stock for this, booked around 2 month... if any guy want to buy, please contact me, will offer a good price for the 1st one for testing.
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...
some guys ask the price for the latest new one,
PSD8802-A180 around 2000usd
PSD81602-A360 this one around 2600usd
PSD8802-A180 around 2000usd
PSD81602-A360 this one around 2600usd
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.
Bullet..note this has 4 2mp feeds vs 3 used in the recently released ipc-pfw8601-a180

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.
