The image shakes in the wind. Can it be fixed?
Yes, and hardly ever by changing the camera: it is fixed at the mount. The vibration does not come from the camera, it comes from the pole, the arm or the plate it is anchored to. A long arm works as a lever and a slender column sways with the gust, and the lens amplifies it: the tighter the angle, the more the same movement shows.
The measures that work, in order of cost: shorten the arm and bring the camera closer to the pole, anchor to a stiffer structure —a wall instead of a fence, the industrial unit instead of the column—, and brace the pole. Moving to a model with electronic stabilisation helps with fine shake, and it does not save a mount that really moves, because stabilisation crops the image and falls short on a big sway.
The vibration is not just cosmetic: compressed video spends bit rate on whatever moves, and a whole image moving non-stop can multiply the storage that camera uses. It is common to find that the camera eating the storage is the one on the pole that sways.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
