Great forum guys, I'm looking for a IP PTZ to mount on my chimney to monitor my front yard and street (pic below). Currently have 2 x Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-IS & a DS-2CD2032-I, along with some analogue cameras.
I'm looking for something with enough zoom to get clear shots of people walking by and zooming in to ground level. I want something that is a reasonable price and not too large. I've had a look at some of the Dahua and Hikvision cams but need to get an idea of what kind of zoom would be sufficient for this application. I am currently recording the Hik's to a microsd, so having that would be ideal also. What do you guys reckon would be a good choice? In terms of buying things, I'm in Australia.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
