Review-Dahua PSDW5631S-B360 panoramic 360 camera.

wait... 4 channel? I thought only had 3 sensors on the sides. Was curious about the bulb in the middle as it looks like a #4 sensor.
I stand corrected (helps to read full spec sheet). There are 4 sensors

Is the mounting plate plastic or metal?

Bulb in the middle is the PTZ.

Plastic

@looney2ns what does this look like mounted to the ceiling? If you still have it up can you add a pic?
How far soes it hang down from the ceiling? (Overall height of the device?)

It's no longer mounted. Size is noted in the spec sheet in first post.

Ok, so I struggled on deciding how to show off the features of this camera. This is the way I cam up with, I did a screen capture with VLC.

When the PTZ moves, I have clicked on a spot in one of the other 3 camera views, that triggers the PTZ to go to that same spot.

You can also notice that I draw red squares that cause the camera to pan and zoom into the spot I outlined.

I have all four of the cameras working in:
Blue Iris
TinyCampro
Chrome with IE tab.
It tries to work without the plugin, but I've had no success, just get a black screen.
All you need to do is to change the channel number to the camera that you want to add to BI or Tinycam.

Note I added another picture to the OP, that shows that it will fit on a single or double gang box.

Don't judge my junky ass garage.

The camera is mounted at 8ft, measured to the base of the cam to the floor. I hope these videos make sense to everyone. I would guess in a store setting or such, that it would be better mounted at 10-12ft from the floor. YMMV.

Does the red square function PTZ work in blue iris too ? I am looking at getting this camera for inside location.
