Can anyone recommend a 5 or 10x PTZ that starts at 2.8? A friend of mine wants to put 3 or 4 cameras up to watch his dogs, he doesn’t want stationary cameras. Thanks.

Your friend wants a PTZ to "follow" your dogs around automatically? Or does your friend want to manually PTZ around to catch blind spots and/or zoom in when needed?

Actually manually to look for them. Right now he has a 20 or 30x PTZ but it starts at 4.7mm and he can't see a close and wide area. He has it mounted on the barn and wants to replace it and add 2 more on each side of the barn. I tried to convince him to use fixed lens but he wants PTZ...
 
We have a PTZ3E10X-T180 in our shop that we still have to install into our Dahua NVR. A little under $400 via Andy.
180 degrees for the static "stitched" camera.
PTZ has 10x optical with 4mm-40mm focal length
Overview channel: 2.8 mm;
Detail channel: 4 mm–40 mm

That sounds like what he is looking for. Thanks.
 
Hmm... good question. I would imagine it is a single camera with 2 channels (180 view + PTZ view).
Maybe I should take home and slap into my Blue Iris to see, tomorrow.
