zoneway camera

[code]

Hi guys

I couldn't find much discussion on cameras other than hikivision, foscam and dahua, those brands seem to be pretty popular here.

I was wondering if anyone has any reviews (good or bad) about zoneway 10x 1.3mp IR PTZ camera available on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10X-zoom1280-960P-1-3MP-Outdoor-IR-M4510-CCTV-Mini-PTZ-IP-Network-Dome-Camera-/231226817711?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item35d6313caf

Thanks

Never heard of them. That's a good price though. There is lots of risk...its a personal call. Do you really need ptz?

The problem is, how are you going to record it and where are you going to go for tech support for warranty? It's not a huge amount of money, and it seems like a decent little camera, so as long as your willing to take the chance, go ahead and order one.

thats a good point, im asking seller if it has onvif

im guessing the support and warranty are just a risk that i would have to take... it seemed pretty nice for the price point, similar things in dahua would go for $599 or so i think

yes fenderman, actually my requirements are:
1. ptz
2. ir
3. some zoom
4. HD (at minimum 720 but i would actually like to get anything better than that)

any other recos you guys would have for camera with these specs?

So i read that it does support ONVIF, so i should be able to make it work with my NVR which can do recordings

Code, is there a reason you need ptz other than the novelty? Is this being used for security purposes? Often its better to go with two fixed cameras because you will not be able to monitor the ptz 24/7.
