I'm looking for "semi-smart" cameras that suit my needs for collecting training images that will later be used to train a DL model. The closest I've found are cameras from Axis Communication, but I'm hoping I can find better (for my needs).
Goal summary: Collecting outdoor images of animals that walk through a certain area (a configurable motion detection region) at high resolution and low/modest frame rates.
Required:
- Camera housing and robustness suitable for outdoors, freezing temps, wind, precipitation.
- 10+ frames per second
- 4k+ resolution
- Rectilinear view (or barrel correction, but preferably optical)
- ~12 ft wide field-of-view
- Working distance of ~30 ft, but hoping for optical zoom, so not a tight constraint
- Motion detection: Triggers on motion of large, slow objects (configurable), and ideally can capture images from about -1 to +1 seconds, relative to trigger event moment. Other frames are not needed. Most frames will be discarded.
- Little or no compression artifacts. MJPEG, perhaps. No H.264/5.
- Remote real-time streaming just to aid in setup (low resolution, low FPS is ok). Not needed during regular image acquisition periods (which will run for days).
- Price near $1k
Very helpful:
- IP, PoE
- Optical zoom, controllable over IP
- Only "wanted" images are transmitted from camera. High bandwidth (GigE) not needed since most frames will not meet motion detection criteria, and be at modest FPS.
- Images stored via IP/ethernet to local machine
Helpful:
- Pan and tilt, controllable over IP
- Synchronized triggering between 2 or more cameras (e.g., one camera does motion detection, and triggers all the cameras)
- No special software/app needed. E.g., can configure and control from a web browser.
Hoping some of you can point me in a helpful direction!! Thanks!
