Review on 📷 JideTech 5MP Outdoor WiFi PTZ IP Camera with 5X Optical Zoom, Pan Tilt, Auto Tracking, 2-Way Audio, Enhanced Night Vision, Smart Detection Alarm, SD Card Slot, and IP66 Waterproof by Rachel Cook

This is one of my favorite small PTZ cameras. This 5x zoom wide angle 5 megapixel security camera has many functions and I can extend the antenna with the RF cable extension. The main features I really like about this camera are: - Local storage (up to 128GB) - ONVIF support for 3rd party apps tested on Blue Iris, Tiny Cam, OBS, VLC - Uses CamHi or CamHiPro as suggested by Android/Apple recommended . - 5 MP 2560 x 1920 image - H.265 and H.264 profiles - Full 360 degree PTZ control with 90 degree pan and tilt - 5x optical zoom and 1x wide angle (the best from both worlds) - Motion + bound to human detection signal to reduce counterfeiting Alerts Less power consumption, in some states electricity is getting expensive these days and every watt counts. This camera works great and focuses on an area within about a hundred feet. You can get detailed information about the area you control. With all PTZ cameras they work best when mounted high as most of their angle is straight out of the mount and down from there and if you zoom in you lose the top part of the image that used to be at 1x was visible. The microphone sound is clear, you can hear the birds singing in the distance, and the speaker sound is loud, you can easily hear it at 50 feet away. The CamHi or CamHiPro app recommended for use with this camera is pretty good. I prefer it to other proprietary camera apps I've tested. This app is updated regularly and is growing into a pretty powerful app. The mount has a thin antenna cable running inside, and hand-carrying one of the cameras is not recommended. Also, when installing the antenna into the SMA connector, do not rush to tighten it, as you may twist the SMA adapter mounted on the camera mount and end up damaging the antenna cable. I did this on another camera brand that had a similar antenna mount installation. The antenna has a SMA jack adapter and can be upgraded if you want extra long range. This included antenna easily reaches 100 feet through 1 outside wall of the house, that's my setup.
