Excellent performing mini-ptz

I bought this to replace a Hik 2.4mm turret and I am more than happy with the results. With this being said, this is definitely a value-model and will not have a lot of the bells and whistles for tracking objects/motion. If you're simply wanting to have a visible area multiplier, as I did, this well-exceeds any other device in size and features. Optical zoom/focus is my favorite feature. Night vision is decent, especially if you have other IR sources. Speed is adequate. Software is no different than other Hikvision products. I am using BlueIris and am pleased with the level of compatibility and relative ease of getting it connected. Physical installation was a little difficult as the protective shroud is made so that if you use anything other than the supplied screws (my application called for self-tapping sheet metal screws) it will hit on the screw heads and not secure properly.

Pros
  • 1.2 pounds
Cons
  • The camera's IK10 rating may not be sufficient for customers who require a higher level of impact resistance
