Big dollar quality in a budget friendly package

By Glenn
Rated 5 out of 5

I had been looking for one of these cameras after seeing so many people use Marshall cameras for POV angles, but I couldn't afford the Marshall cameras and kept researching. I stumbled upon this camera and decided to give it a try. Out of the box, the camera worked right away. No major setup required, except changing the resolution to 1080p60 which took under 30 seconds. The picture quality was excellent and had little to no artifacts or noise, even in low light. White balance reacted quickly, and other features like auto-exposure were accurate and controlled. I wasn't bothered by the lack of autofocus since this camera would only be used in stationary positions. My biggest complaint, which is quite a stretch, is the control joystick on the I/O cable. It will sometimes rubberband (move in one direction then instantly go back once the other way) or not respond at all, and it takes some pressure and dexterity to push the proper buttons. It felt like I had to force the buttons down slightly, and I got nervous because I didn't want to accidentally break it. I didn't have to access the menus much in here, but once you get the feel of the joystick, you'll work around it easily. I'm glad I kept researching and found this AIDA camera.

Awesome

Asked by: Robert
FOV for any camera depends on the lens. If you mean FOV with the stock 4mm lens, I *think* (still learning optics) that gives D (78) H (67) V (40) degrees FOV. This disagrees with what AIDA said, perhaps someone else can clarify for all of us?

I bought this camera for use at a church and it will be aimed at the alter with a large window above it. Will the camera self adjust itself for sunlight or do I need to purchase a lense with auto Iris?
Asked by: Jeff
The AIDA Imaging Full HD HDMI Camera will adjust exposure automatically. I recommend making sure that the intensity of the light inside matches (or gets close to) the intensity of the light outside to avoid too much contrast in the shot.

Novice here. Love this camera... bought 4 of them... although the lens has a little bit of fisheye quality for overhead piano/guitar shots. Could someone recommend a low cost lens for a “normal, non fish eye” shot? What do I need to look for? Thanks!
Asked by: Don
AIDA sells a 6mm lens that will fit your need, decently priced as well! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1382664-REG/aida_imaging_cs_6_0f_6mm_hd_cs_mount.html Little side note, if you have any pictures to show of your setup and our camera, AIDA would love to shout you out and post on AIDA's social media, according to your permissions!

Novice here. If I wanted to use this camera for a “front of house” wide-style image to act really as a holding image while re-positioning a PTZ camera, what lens should I use? Think church setting with 40” wide stage.
Asked by: Chris
Based on the camera's sensor size, you should get a fairly adequate angle for what you are trying to achieve with the lens that the camera comes with.

Any suggestions for portable power replacing the included ac adapter?
Asked by: Jahir
None are explicitly defined and unfortunately the manufacturer does not provide "mm" specs of its DC barrel input; a compatible DC barrel to d-tap cable connected to a v-mount or Gold Mount battery should be able to power this device.

Would like to turn this into a "document" camera for science/technology class. How would this camera look, looking down on a table?

We would not recommend this as a document camera, as it may not be able to focus properly at the given distance.
