Average Customer Review:
This review is from: Panasonic BB-HCM735A POE Outdoor Network CamerI bought this camera because of its support for 1280x960 resolution. The camera may have the sensor for it, but it lacks so much other support, it might as well have not included the function. When you change the camera to support the highest resolution, you see LOTS of configuration options that say:Note: (1)Cannot be set when [Max. Image Size] is set to 1280x960. It impacts the streaming, alarms, triggers, .... What a joke. Save your money and get one of the Panasonics that fully support 640x480.
This review is from: Panasonic BB-HCM735A POE Outdoor Network CamerI have several less expensive BB series Panasonic cameras and took a chance on this one because I needed higher resolution in one locationto compensate for having to set this camera further away. It definitely has a more detailed image than their 640x480 models. The only real downside is there are some limitations when using in 1280x960 resolution. You can't set triggers and I had a real fun time trying to come up with the right combination of settings to get it to stream high resolution to my Blue Iris DVR software, but I did finally get it. The downside is it streams continually to my DVR, which for me isn't an issue on my switched LAN, but could be for people trying to use it over low speed connections. I let Blue Iris do motion detection in software to know what to record. Another downside is without triggers there doesn't seem to be any way to get it to record to the 16GB SD card I bought for it. This is easy with their other cameras. I couldn't get any definitive answer from their tech support as to why they don't support triggers at high res or if they'd be fixing in a firmware upgrade. My guess is the processing power may not be there in the camera to do motion detection with a much bigger data flow, but I don't know. Since other purchasers of BB series cameras have bitched, I'll point out to the newbies this camera doesn't come with a power supply. You need to use a PoE switch, PoE injector block (<$30) or buy their AC adapter. PoE is the way to go.
This review is from: Panasonic BB-HCM735A POE Outdoor Network CamerWell, I read all these reviews and then some elsewhere and figured that it would still be a good investment even if some of the functionality was lost in 1280x960. Then, I used the same process and came to the same conclusion with Blue Iris software. The cameras (I bought two) are a great value since the lost functionality in 1280x960 is made up by Blue Iris functionality for my unique purposes. I don't need the triggers and continuous streaming if fine since I bought the D-Link gigabit POE switch. But I did want high resolution and pan and tilt in a small package for outdoors with POE. In 1280x960 stream mode the camera can only continuously send "snapshots" in JPEG mode which appears to be at a speed greater than 10 per second that can be picked up by Blue Iris. This because the camera cannot internally "buffer & transfer" in any other compression (such as MPEG-4 or H.264) in 1280x960 resolution. I don't understand what all is involved with that limitation and it took me quite a while to figure all this out! But, I only need 5 per second for recording which I set in Blue Iris. So, my expectations have been met or exceeded by the camera. But, my expectations were VASTLY execeeded by what Blue Iris can do for its cost! I really didn't expect that to happen since it is so inexpensive. I'm actually a little worried that something may be up with that...hope not.
