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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent PTZ function.

I was able to get this product to test to see if I would like to use it in different places in the future. I mounted it on a pole in the middle of my garden to give it a good field of view. You can see the main user features in the added video. Overall I am convinced of this model. I have several 2MP SV3C fixed cameras in my collection. While the 5-megapixel version delivers a sharper image, the camera constantly tries to auto-focus and only shows a richer image after pausing the camera for a moment. Overall, I find that the 5MP camera delivers the best image in all lighting conditions. I would probably recommend this device to customers who need PTZ function because the field range is wide. SV3C even makes some even more powerful PTZ cameras in its range, but the features of this device are pretty good. I was even able to move the camera by connecting directly to it and sending control functions over the internet. UI or via the connected surveillance app on my phone (CamHi for iPhone). So, for the cost of this device, you get a PTZ camera that offers a much larger coverage area than a stationary device.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Is there anything I can add?
