    Anneke FCD600 dual lens 6MP turret camera.

    I know the Anneke FCD 600 6MP (not 4K ver) is not the best but I'm thinking it might meet my needs for video coverage of a side passage at the boundary of my property. The passage is narrow, at just under 3' (which would be less once I mounted the camera on a junction box). The frontage of the...

    PTZ zoom / focus mechanism

    How do the PTZ cameras maintain such crisp focus while zooming? They don't use parfocal lens right? So are they continuously updating the focus motor as they zoom?

Manual focus works okay for 2 presets that are at approximately the same distance, but it is completely out of focus...

    Advice: Want external PTZ IP camera with optical zoom

    My ideal camera will be an IP camera, ethernet. POE is not required, but is a bonus. It should have 8x optical zoom or better. Good night vision. It should be supported by Blue Iris and the focus control should work in Blue Iris. It is that last part, the focus control, that I have been...
