2Over priced with too many limitations
By Redstorm
I bought this camera with the intent to use as a public webcam.First the pros...1) Nice daytime images2) Pan, tilt, zoom features are nice3) It's weather proof4) Built in server (IP camera) can be seen and operated through browser over the InternetThe cons...1) Has big ugly seam on the plastic dome that create a blurry line in the cameras image2) Even though rated with a low lux the camera goes in and out of focus at night even in well lit areas is blurry (Manual focus doesn't help)3) Guard Tour allows automatic movement between preset locations but stops at the last preset a minimum of 10 minutes before looping again so it is not a continuous loop. That makes it worthless as an embedded webcam for visitors to see.4) A special script would need to be written to embed the camera with presets only for visitors who you don't want changing the cameras views, focus, and control panel settings. The basic page accessed through a browser only allows presets included with PTZ, focus, iris sliders leaving the camera open to change when accessed anonymously. Hope that made sense:-)5) Axis does not support using the camera embedded in a website. You will have to hire a developer or DIY (No supported scripts)In a nutshell the camera is ok if you don't care about night viewing, if the seam in the dome doesn't bother you, if it's going to be more of a hands on camera rather than a webcam for the public.Personally I feel I paid a lot of money to have such limitations and I wish I could recommend something better but I don't know of any. Keep in mind if you buy an expensive camera like this and don't like it you'll be screwed with a large restocking fee. I bought mine at 2020PC.com and I estimate around $500 restocking fee if I choose to return it.I'm open to suggestions for a great cameraIt needs these features...1)Pan, tilt, zoom2)Outdoor dome style without a seam through the image3)Script support for embedding in a web page4)Ability to turn off select PTZ controls without turning off all PTZ controls including presets5)Must be a network camera for Internet viewing6)Must have great night vision in color7)Must stay in focus
