Is anyone aware of any Turret style PoE cameras (or PTZ that is the same size) that have greater than 13mm zoom?

I've got one of Andy's SD4A425DB-HNY (but it is physically to big for the location) & one of his EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 (but the zoom isn't great enough).

Notes; no it can't be much bigger than a usual turret camera, no I can't move it to another location & no I cannot use a bullet camera. Yes I have 8 posts in 8 years, sorry I like to watch :D
 
I am curious what the application is where 12mm is not enough, but jumping up to 13mm is perfect.
 
In theory it could be done but not sure the market has a place. I mean sure everyone wants compact turret cameras with crazy zoom. Main issue is size and placement. Pictures below is from very old 6-22mm color at night LPR from 2017. Next to it is larger then normal turret 13.5mm from front of lens of 22mm to plate is 1 1/2 inches. Where the turret is 1 1/4 inches. The lens in turret camera is already almost touching front glass. 22mm camera has larger main camera board.

Then to show another 12mm camera next to 12x lens, 25x lens and older 37x analog ptz lens the one in cage is 37x camera module. Other lenses are removed from module cages for size comparison.
The turret camera is complete with lens, camera, main PCB. That was why I also removed the PCB from the bullet body. Mind you that is very compact lens seeing it is really a 4x zoom 6mm-22mm where camera like the 5231e z12e I started to take apart but just to much to fit in picture. The 12x in second picture is about same size. So kind of hard to put that in a compact turret.

Yeah, no doubt it’s all about technology. I’m sure it will continue to progress, although this might be slower if the market isn’t there. Hopefully a more compact PTZ comes out, atm I’ve got a 12mm turret from Andy in the place, it just doesn’t quite get in far enough
 
That is a crazy nice camera.. While I said large Turret that I took the picture of the 2 cameras side by side. That 7442 is only about inch both ways larger. That thing has to cost a lot for all that it has?
