Perspective
Marty prioritizes usable image data over spec-sheet megapixels. Camera selection starts with scene geometry and pixel density targets — not with the catalog’s highest-resolution SKU.
When designing a project he looks at placement and coverage first, then works backward to sensor format, focal length, and light conditions. Marty emphasizes forensic usability: can the footage hold up when someone needs to identify a face or read a plate two weeks later? That question tends to change camera choices more than any bullet-point spec.
Approach
He often specifies Axis and Hanwha class systems for commercial deployments, and leans on AI-enabled edge cameras when bandwidth ceilings, scalability, or forensic search capability are in the requirement stack.
