The Thor Maximus4kFly is a 4K ePTZ camera that has a built-in microphone making it ready to operate out of the box.
This minimal design and compact structure has Sony's new generation of 1/2.5-inch 4K Exmor image sensor with a built-in ultra-wide-angle 130-degree autofocus lens. Easy to operate and includes USB3.0 and HDMI dual interface simultaneous video output, the maximum resolution is 4K@30FPS, and 1080P video that has 4X Digital zoom. The built-in high-fidelity microphone has a maximum pickup distance up to 25 feet. Built in features like low illumination, low latency, clear picture quality, and delicate video quality means you can be set up and running in no time without fussy software and difficult attachments.
Comes equipped with an adjustable bracket to put on a desktop PC, laptop/notebook, large screen, monitor, and other video capture and application. Ideally used in, but not limited to, teleconferencing, telemedicine, education, remote meetings, remote classrooms, live event streaming, church streaming, house of worship, court systems & virtually any live streaming application.

Video Record/Capture Info The 4KFly does record audio along with the video as long as the settings are selected as Digital Audio Interface (USB Digital Audio) if you are using a HDMI to USB Capture card. I tested this just now with the said device utilizing OBS to capture the video through HDMI to USB and plugging the USB port from the 4KFly to a USB charger like an iPhone or Samsung charger. Video Live Playback The 4KFly will send audio and video directly to a TV or other HDMI output device
The little flip stand thing that comes with it is removable. Yes, it does have an inward thread hole for traditional mounting options like the tripod that we show in the pictures. Tripod is not included. But it is a rather standard fitting that any DSLR camera or mount usually has.
The tripod we purchased from amazon and works just fine, my assumption is this is standard thread size so any mount you purchase would fit just fine.
What's the maximum data rate (data rate at highest quality settings) for the "4K HDMI and USB E PTZ Compact Camera - Maximus4KFly"?
|
And could you help me do some math? What would be the data storage requirement for this camera at its highest setting for 520 hours of video?
|
Hello
|
Hi
|
So there are no adjustments you can make on this camera, the data rate is automated by the highest echelon FPS resolution the camera can go into
|
I'm confused by that statement - under "features" on the product page:
|
Video Output support Max 4K@ 30fps; 1080p, 720p, 960×540, 848×480, 800×448 640×480, 640×360, 424×240, 320×240, 320×180 at 60, 30, 15 fps |
That tells me there are different data rates
|
Yes because not everyone has other hardware that can work with 4k
|
Oh I see, so the camera automatically selects its frame rate and resolution based on the data rate it detects to the host computer?
|
Exactly
|
Ok. So let's assume data rate is not throttled (the camera records at its highest quality). What would be the data rate?
|
it's purposely made that way for customers in education, retail, zoom, skype etc
|
Obviously that would vary greatly between 4k and 480i
|
Understood. I'm trying to size data storage for days worth of engineering testing, hardwired to a host computer. It'll be at its peak data rate. I need to store 520 hours of video. How much space do I need?
|
but it does have built in H265 and H264 so I would assume it still wouldn't be as large as someone would expect but I have no details or knowledge of the data rate because of the massive amount of flexibility in the product. That's something a client would have to do themselves; consider it this way, this is raw data. If you need a compression agent then a hardware encoder, or software encoder on a mac/pc would do the trick
|
There's no way I could give you a ball park figure on that.
|
Easiest way to find out, is run and record a file as a base line scenario for 15 seconds, 1 minute, 5 mins, 10 mins, and then breakdown the file sizes as they are saved. See what the difference is.
|
Hm. I want to capture the raw output of this camera. You can't tell me what the output data rate at 4K @ 30fps might be?
|
No because it also has encoding in H265 H264 and MJPEG
|
So I have no idea what your environment will dictate
|
Which is the biggest?
|
These are made to be simple products with a vast options so they can be plug and play in anyone's scenario
|
What do you mean the biggest? Those are different video encoding protocols
|
I'm just sizing hard drive requirements, I need to know the largest file size possible for 520 hours of data. I understand the exact file size will depend on conditions, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't tell me the maximum file size (or data rate) the camera is capable of
