    Frequently asked questions

    Is Pelco EXF1230-4N better than Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR?

    Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR has stronger IR illumination (100 m vs 80 m) — better for unlit corridors and night perimeter. For installation-specific advice — mounting height, tilt, obstacle shadowing, BOM and PoE budget — drop both cameras into CCTVplanner and the FOV cones, DORI rings (per EN 62676-4) and cable schedule render in real time on a satellite map or imported floor plan.

    What is the field of view of Pelco EXF1230-4N vs Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR?

    Pelco EXF1230-4N has a 60° horizontal FOV at 4.3-129mm. Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR has a 30° horizontal FOV at 9-22mm. Pelco covers a wider scene at the same distance; the FOV calculator on CCTVplanner converts these into linear meters of coverage at any chosen target distance.

    Which camera has stronger IR illumination?

    Avigilon 2.0C-H5A-HB2-IR reaches 100 m of IR illumination versus 80 m for Pelco EXF1230-4N. The further-reaching IR camera is the better fit for unlit yards, parking perimeters and warehouses without permanent lighting.

    Can I plan a project mixing Pelco and Avigilon cameras?

    Yes. CCTVplanner is multi-vendor by design — drop Pelco and Avigilon cameras on the same canvas, share the same EN 62676-4 lens math and DORI ring overlays, and consolidate them into one BOM with cable schedule and PoE budget. Vendor design tools (Axis Site Designer, Hikvision HiTools, Dahua Project Design Tool, i-PRO SDT) cannot do this because each speaks only its own catalog.
