Test results: Dallmeier electronic DDF3000IPV(-DN)

“The installation of the Dallmeier camera can be done without major difficulties; only the flat ribbon cable leading to the camera unit turned out to be a bit inflexible. After downloading a rather big Active-X element, followed by a somewhat circuitous installation process, a live image is displayed in the browser. During the practical test, the network load levelled off at an average of 2.5 megabit. When limited to 2 megabit, the data stream stays below that limit even when there is a lot of movement in the image. The camera steadily adheres to predefined bit rate and even at one megabit still delivers good quality.

While the delay remains at a pleasantly low level, artefacts consequently increase. The encoder is working very quickly and without dragging or delay as well as comparatively little formation of artefacts. A specialty of the Dallmeier camera is the MPEG-2 encoder which delivers high quality images but also requires correspondingly high bandwidths. Regarding the subjective impression of the image quality the camera convinces with true colour reproduction and high richness of detail and the white balance is precise. The browser interface is characterised by a clearly structured menu which offers a wide range of functions and is intuitive and convenient in use. A positive surprise is a feature that displays a live image even in the configuration menu.“
