Review on πŸ“· SUNBA 25X Optical Zoom 5MP IP PoE+ Outdoor PTZ Camera with Two-Way Speaking, High-Speed Security PTZ Dome and Long Range Infrared Night Vision up to 1000ft (601-D25X 5MP Version) by Lindsey Braaten

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money and quality. Great product

Heavy. Get ready for 10 pounds. It is so good. Continuous panning, tilting 15 degrees above the horizon, excellent 25x zoom with very good autofocus firmware, unrealistic night vision. An added bonus of manual focus for high magnification images. The firmware focuses on the background and does not show small birds or objects at high magnification. Manual focus fixes this. Hummer Snap cannot be captured without manual focus. The first night the camera was temporarily set up about 10 feet from the lobster feeder WITH ONLY RED GLASS and no juice. Then zoomed out to show the field. I also want to say that the customer service is amazing. I spoke to Albert Wong and he was great. Always come back the next morning with answers that work. This camera only works in IE web browser and works very well. It also works very well with the VMS software provided by Sunba. I also use Blue Iris 4, which also works well in a variety of conditions. Any OnVIF camera software should work. I highly recommend this camera. We only use it to watch our wildlife, so we won't comment on traffic etc. Edit: 10 months, a decent winter. The "big camera," as we call it, still buzzes great. I also discovered the wonder of presets. I use Blue Iris 4 and the presets are very fast. One click and I'll move north from the south panel to my favorite view in a second or less. Now I can even manually focus with the BI software if needed. Sunba's firmware perfectly focuses on 98% of the shots. We really like this camera and spring is coming soon!
