Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent camera for the price

This camera is of high quality with an excellent picture. I use this camera with Blue Iris which was very easy to set up. There are just a couple of little things that kept me from giving this 5 stars: First, the camera doesn't support PoE. The description doesn't say it's PoE, so I guess it's my fault for not noticing it in advance. It would be much better if that were the case! Luckily I figured that out ahead of time and ran a second cable along with a Cat6 cable to provide power. Second, the PTZ function is a bit loose. Position presets can be configured via the camera's web interface, but when you call up a preset after moving the camera a little, it doesn't go exactly to the preset, it's always off a little, sometimes more than a little. Finally, the bracket has a fairly large hole for the cable on the side. I installed it on a junction box with the cord coming out the back of the mount; this left a hole in the side of the bracket and nothing was provided to cover it; I just used a bunch of sealant. All in all a pretty good camera, even better considering the price.
