You might want to rethink your budget.
haha, wow. Is that really as close as it gets to the a reasonably priced 1/1.8" sensor? Dahua has 1/2.7" PTZ for $170, but if you want 1/1.8" sensor, you have to hop up to $1k+? Those WizMind series are super high frame rates though, so totoally different class of hardware. I just want a 15fps normal PTZ home security camera with a slightly bigger sensor.You might want to rethink your budget.
I guess I'm ok with ~400 range. Really just looking to pay for the features I want rather than pay extra for things I don't, like high frame rate. I was hoping for them to thread the feature set a bit more.
Realistically they aren't selling PTZ's with the 1/1.8" sensor to a price sensitive market and the market they are selling them into wants those features, even if you don't. If you are ok with $400 is then why not get two or even three 5442 turrets? A PTZ can only point in one direction at a time.
Haha, I thought it was funny you just mention that as a solution like it's no big deal. Cameras are aesthetically not great, even for someone who wants to monitor stuff. A couple here and there is alright. One at each corner of the house isn't a great look.
For me it isn't a big deal, but keep in mind you are preaching to a community where some people have five on their front door alone, and 16 cam systems and up are not unusual.
1/1,8cmos ptz only on some ultra smart models, cheapest one is SD5A425XA-HNR around 680usd.
FYI - larger sensor = larger components, larger lens, larger motors, larger case... so do expect a 1/1.8" PTZ to cost more than a 1/2.7" PTZ...
I know what you mean. I like the turret form factor since it is less noticeable that the bullets. They do not scream CAMMERA! But I would take three turrets over one huge PTZ and it's mount any day. While I lust for one of those big ass PTZ's, like @bradner has in his avatar, I just can't justify hanging it on my house.
I can, it's just that I'm not the one in my house these things have to be justified to.
LOL, not me - I wish I had one as big as the Oblivion drones. BTW, my PTZ's sound just like them in the movie. Imagine if we had paint ball guns (Canada) or real guns (Texas) that could be deployed like in the pic below!!!!
