Hi everyone,

I am getting ready to redo and re-purchase 10 ptz cameras to replace the junk im currently using.

Whenever I do a google search my results point to Amazon, Ebay or Alibaba. Or, to Freds Quality Used Security Cams. I would almost prefer to build my own cameras if i could actually source the parts easily.

I am hoping all of you could make recommendations based from what works and what is reliable at an affordable price. My basic specs are as follows.

Must Haves:
  • PTZ Outdoor Camera
  • IP Network
  • 2 way audio input and outputs.
  • Auto Tracking.
  • Reliable and affordable, I have seen ranges from $270-320
Nice to Haves:
  • Alarm I/O inputs and outputs
Ive been looking at many off branded cameras. The biggest issue I find is incomplete specifications. There is no way to know if the cameras Im looking at have the specs I need.

Any suggestions would be helpful. I know there are many more specs that can be listed but in this price range I know what to expect.

Thankyou all in advance
Best

Auto tracking is a gimmick and you wont get it in a reliable 320 dollar camera.
You likely dont need ptz at all.
