5.0 out of 5 stars Best camera for the money, October 8, 2010

This review is from: Vivotek PZ6112 10X PTZ IP Network MPEG-4 Camera (Electronics)

I've put about 20 of these PTZ units in a camera network for a large condo, and another dozen Vivotek stationary cameras. They've been very stable and provide very good imaging. I set the cameras up for the best quality image and the highest frame rate and resolution I could do. There's been NO observable impact on video response or LAN bandwidth issues. All the Vivotek cameras come with decent DVR software, but we use NUUO for now. I'm very happy with these cameras and the software. For the money, it's the best deal on the web. A 32 camera, 2 high end PC configuration (for DVRs) ran us about $27K, including really nice enclosures for the outdoor units. A similar system from anyone else (Sony, Axis, Panasonic, etc.) would have run over $100K, and we're catching all the criminals who show up. I'd do this again in a heartbeat. My only gripe is that the POE kits from Vivotek burn out in about a year (yes, they do POE Matilda). I had the same luck with Linksys and DLink POE kits though. I've had only one failed camera, at about the 3 year mark. This system is about 5 years old.

This camera is a piece of junk in sooo many ways.
PTZ is contantly sticking, and refuseds to move.
When the PTZ does work it is clunky even on the best control setting.
Auto iris is ineffective.
Focus is slow.
Does not support PoE.
Save your money, look for something else.
