I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am looking for a Wired IP camera that has a better focal range than 12mm. I have read the review on the Sunba (cheap Chinese camera) and it would probably work for my needs but was wondering if there is a better option out there.

I don't need Pan or tilt, just motorized zoom and 40mm-50 at 2-3MP.

Any options out there? A Chinese Knock-off will work for this test before I purchase something far more expensive.

Thanks

If you want zoom in the 40-50mm range, you won't find it cheap in a fixed camera. I see those usually maxing out around 3x zoom, or roughly 12mm. I would have to recommend a PTZ for this. Sunba's PTZs are okay and Blue Iris compatible, but if you can afford it a Hikvision or Dahua PTZ with 10x or more zoom would be a better cam. Faster panning and tilting and nicer firmware.
