Review on SV3C 5MP PTZ PoE Camera: Outdoor Surveillance with 5X Optical Zoom, Sony Sensor, Two-Way Audio, and Night Vision by Justin Garrett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good: Dome cameras

Set up just a few days ago. I use it with NetCamStudio on my PC and TinyCamMonitor on my phone. Both use the ONVIF setting. The camera is powered by my POE switch. Pan/tilt/zoom works, picture is decent - day and night, and it has withstood inclement weather (only had 60mph winds and heavy rain yesterday). I'm buying 2 more to replace the non-PTZ cameras I have. The only thing I haven't had success with is that it responds to position presets from my desktop app or my phone app. This feature works with my Foscam and Amcrest internal PTZ cameras, but not this one yet. Edit: I found that I can use the SV3C app to SET preset positions and my other apps can then call them. So I just used their app to create all my presets. One thing I noticed with one of my cameras is when I recall a preset position while in night mode, the backlight turns off after repositioning and I have to tap on the zoom control and the IR lights come back on. So far I've installed 2 such cameras - one has such a problem, the other doesn't. I have a third one so I'll see what it does after I set it up. If it's just one of the 3 I can request that it be replaced.
