Thanks @cyberwolf_uk But it is not in the same price range. It is almost double. I am willing to sacrifice quality a little bit to stay in that price range.

Here's a Dahua option, in the same price range. Hard to manufacture a PTZ for the same price and quality as a fixed varifocal. Same cams, one with Dahua log, the other without.

You should be sacrificing ptz not quality...do you even need PTZ?

Note these cameras have no integrated IR.

They are made with Unobtanium. Not sure anything even exists in that price range. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to spend any $$. Maybe the example below would fit the bill?
Here's another solution. "Outdoor IP PTZ Camera" Google
[$153.99] PTZ IP Camera 20X Optical Zoom 960P 1.3MP Pan/Tilt (Electronic) Outdoor 150M IR

That's a garbage camera it would be easier and quicker to just flush your money down the toilet.

@fenderman, I agree 100%. We try to help. They can heed the advice, or go another direction.
We both know you get what you pay for. There are no shortcuts.

Then it wouldn't be a PTZ. Only indoor ptzs in that range.

because reasons lol.
My IPC-HDW5231R-Z's arrived about a month ago, and the bases a few days ago. I am very impressed with the hardware quality and build. The bases even have weather seals. These are no crappy little forsam jobbies, they are big and solid! Can't wait till I can get them mounted up!
Props to Andy, for supplying the cameras and re-supplying the bases after the wrong ones were shipped in the initial order. Would trade again!

Unfortunately my camera is not communicating. The address comes up on the initial scan but that is it. Without going through all 115 pages of this thread is there a "reset button" inside or at least two pads to short out?

crack open the cam, look at the SD card slot, toward the edge of that board near the corner is a small button you can push in.
Is there enough space behind the 5231's standard wall mount to hide the join from the cat6 connection to the camera loom?
Or would i require the optional Dahua mounting bracket to hide that?
(The cameras are going on a brick wall with external cat cable)
