Well, it came in today. Despite being advertised, ordered, and labeled as PoE, attaching my 802.3af powered ethernet cable to it, leaves it dark. I've had to connect the included 12V wallwart to it. I've sent an email to the seller for clarification. Without PoE, it'll significantly complicate the installation over my kids' cribs.
From a performance standpoint, the 1080p is pretty clear - at least on par with the 1080 on the Hiks. The zoom function (from 2.8 to 12mm) works, although the camera cannot zoom and focus simultaneously. That means as you zoom, you lose focus. Only after the zoom function stops, will the focus catch up. The time to zoom from min to max is about 15 seconds, and has to be done in steps (holding the + or - key doesn't work). So trying to follow any action with the zoom is pointless. Framing a perfect shot, on the other hand, will work just fine.
BI does pass through the PT and Z commands just fine (though I had to use the ratingsecu profile, not the ONVIF discovered or Suneyes profile).
PT speed can be adjusted, and it's quite a bit faster than my now-obsoleted Foscam clones. IR LED and IR-CUT can be manipulated independently - which is nice for turning off the built-in LED emitters, and using the IR from other cameras in the room, without losing the IR-CUT.
I've not tested the microphone or speakers.
The motors used to drive the movement is louder than any PTZ I've used before. I suspect my boy will hear it if I make any adjustments. He likes to ham it up for the cameras now, so that'll just be his cue to start his performance.
All in all, my initial impressions are good. I'll wait to hear back from the seller on the PoE issue. If it's a relatively simple fix, I'll order a second for my daughter's room.
