Thanks to Looney's great review! This camera has he same specification as IPC-HDW2231R-ZS. Size little bigger,so price just several bucks more than the turret models.

I am picking one up tonight Andy and can't wait to test! I have loved the other cameras you have sent me so quickly! Hope to get a bunch of video out once I have all the locations setup correctly.
