I put in my first IP camera system 18 months ago and been having so much fun that its become a nice hobby.
I started with Logitech 700e's. I used those for six months, ripped those out and sold them on eBay and the got Dahua 2100 1.3MP bullets and ripped those out and resold on ebay and now im using Hikvision 3MP bullets and one Hikvision 3MP dome. Great quality, but I will probably get rid of the Dome. It's got some weird IR reflection going on. It was actually nice when I first installed it but once I moved it never looked good again. I have a total of 7 cameras with 2-3 more blind spots and looking to get my first PTZ. If you got any suggestions for a PTZ around $500, please let me know. Thanks, VCWelcome to the forum, Don! What kind of IP camera are you using? I bet you don't stop at 1
Hey videocheez,
There is a Dahua Mini PTZ for $532 here:

Excellent zoom, IP66, and can be powered with PoE+, 2 year warranty. For $532 it's hard to beat.
I have sodium street lights nearby that are on all night and incandescent motion lights all around so it I think it might be okay. I also so a review today on an Acti camera that looks equivalent and is boasting about superior low light quality. I know that it twice the price of the Dahua but it looks like it might be a good one.That camera has no ir, so it won't be good choice for any location that isn't well lit at night.
