Sanyos New VDC-DP7584 Pan Focus – Anybody used one yet?

[Jasper 0]

I was thinking about buying this camera, but was wondering if anyone else here on the forum has and if they were happy with it.

 

Here are the Specs:

 

• No Focus Adjustments Required

• 1/4" Color CCD, Day/Night camera

• 520 TV Lines of Horizontal Resolution

• IR Cut Filter Removal for both Day & Night Function

• Minimum illumination: 1.2 lux (F1.9, Color mode) and 0.06 lux (F1.9, B/W mode)

• Built-in X2.6 motorized zoom pan-focus lens, f=2.8-7.3mm (F=1.9-3.0)

• 24V AC and 12V DC, Dual Power Operation

• Easy installation, easy adjustment and easy set-up

• Vandal-resistant Dome & Weatherproof design (IP66)

• Built-in Motion Detection and Privacy Masking Functions

• Preconfigured versions for SSP

• Accessories Include:

o VA-50H (24V AC Heater Board)

VA-50ST (RS-485/UTP, Coaxial Control Board) [Protocols Supported: SANYO SSP, SANYO H.SSP, SANYO Coax, Pelco-C, Pelco-D]

 

The pan focus feature sounds good for eliminating the need to manually focus.

 

I’m a little confused on the X2.6 motorized zoom lens though. Is this for the Pan Focus or the varifocal lens?

 

Do I manually adjusted the lens for the field of view I want and the motorized zoom keeps it in focus?

i just got one this week to try out.. i'll let you know once i test it out.. i did hook it up realy quick and the "pan focus" is very cool

as far as i know the zoom is an add on module.

the camera itself is much like the older sanyo in the quality and the day night area, but it stays in focus throughout the manual zoom.

I havent really spent any time with it yet, its still sitting down at the CMS as a demo and its not mine so .. But i will ask my friend if I can get a hold of it for a couple days .. i just got a couple new GEs to demo and will post about them once i get a couple lenses and test them.

Thanks guys.

 

I am also considering the new Sanyo VDC-W1594VA Wide Dynamic Dome as well. I have an application where strong sunlight will be coming in a door in the direction of the camera.

 

I like the Day/night camera, but the Wide Dynamic might be better. It is rated at 1 lux for color, but I haven't heard anything about this cameras performance either.

 

Let me know if anyone has used this camera yet as well.
