First of all the following link provides a live demo of the camera [...] The Amazon page appears to be missing some basic specs on the camera so lets get those out of the way. Maximum resolution 704x576, 30 fps in all resolutions zoom 18x optical Min. illumination Color 0.3lux B&W 0.005 lux Video codec MPEG4 part 2, Motion JPEG POE Nope Comes with Power supply, ceiling mount kit, Installation, CD with installation tools, recording software and Users Manual, Windows decoder 1user license. So lets start with probably the most important aspect of a security camera image quality. This camera excels at that. Although it may not record at megapixel resolutions, the lens is of a high enough quality to produce clear images. Couple this with the 18x optical zoom, and you are able to peel the license plate off a car at quite a distance. Notice the 0.005 B&W lux sensitivity (the smaller the number the better), this number is very important if you intend on using the camera to capture outdoor activity at night. Even at this sensitivity you are not going to get usable images in a poorly lit area. But if you throw a few lights out there and make sure they dont shine into the camera, you should be able to record something meaningful. However, night time shots are difficult even for the best of security cameras. Dont expect that you will be able to clearly record detail of a fast moving object at night. Thus, if you are trying to record license plates, try to situate the camera so that vehicles will be driving directly towards it this should minimized the apparent movement. Ptz functionality What can I say, it pans & scans quickly and quietly. You can set it to 20 preset positions, which you can flip through manually, or set the camera to automatically visit sequentially. When using the web interface, you can just click on whatever part of the image you want to focus on the and camera will figure out how to get there. If you want to zoom in on a specific area, then you just click
