EVERSECU 5MP Auto-Cruise PTZ Security Camera 20X Optical Zoom HD 4-in-1 TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS Video Surveillance- Pattern Scan, Waterproof, Night Vision, Coaxial Wired High Speed Dome CCTV Camera

I am very surprised by this PTZ camera, which is about 1/3 the size of the one it replaced. Being much smaller than what I had, I didn't expect it to outshine the old one. It Did !!! The description claims it to have a 20X magnification, it turned out the magnification is 36X. The night vision is much sharper and clearer than what I had before, at more than half the cost. This is one is a clear WINNER! Easy to setup, upon initial startup, it automatically found the baud rate required, and installed itself as AHD, which is required for my DVR, another big plus! Very happy with it, it performs flawless, and the color rendition is spot-on. Happy with purchase!Update: March 30, Well I spoke too soon. This PTZ camera does do a very good job during the day, but at night it frequently freezes, stops displaying anything at all. Thinking that it might be the power supply being too small I purchased a 10 AMP supply, which is only 4 feet from the PTZ. No help at all, when it gets dark it shuts off completely. It seems that when it turns on the IR, it goes haywire. Daytime, it works great, very clear, but night time is when I need it most, and that is when it shuts down. Of course, I can't find who the supplier is, in order to get it replaced or to get help. Now, there is NO WAY I can recommend this PTZ camera to anyone!

I wasn't sure at first about this camera because the brand name was unfamiliar to me, but I have to say, the picture quality, feel, and build are actually pretty top notch. The controls are issued over rs485 and that works exactly as expected. The unit feels heavy duty too, so I'm pretty happy, would definitely buy again.

Picture quality is pretty good and ptz functions great during the day. As soon as the ir switches on, all communication with the unit is gone. "Tech Support" does not exist at all.

Camera worked fine at first. Then started glitching out at night when infared turned on. Pic is fine unless you attempt yo move the camera. Then the screen looks like an old t.v. thats horizontal and vertical hold. I should have checked the reviews before buying. Most of them complain of the same problem. Amazon should not sell this product. To anyone thinking of buying it. Don't.Edit#1. The issue isn't the camera. The issue is the length of the power cable. Anything over around fifty feet is to much. At nite the if requires more power to make up for the lack of daylight. If anyone is experiencing what I referenced in the first part of my review, I suggest you go to a shorter cable. I did and the camera works fine. I now have three of them.

works great, but the problem is the camera requires more power than most dual wire camera/pw cables can provide. I read this early and plugged a power supply directly to the camera. I ran an extension cord to the p/s plugged to the camera. I didn"t use the power cord part of the siamese video/power cable. I have been running a continuous scan for over a year flawlessly. If you take this into account doing your wiring plan you are likely to have a great camera install.I constructed the sofit mount using a electrical box cover and a short piece of conduit.

My wife has been wanting one of these PTZ cameras for awhile but I wasn`t sure if I could install one. I`m glad I made this purchase now. This camera is amazing for the price! The WEB site says it`s 20 power optical but after installing it says it`s 36 power and I believe it. The picture quality is fantastic and the auto focus works very good. For $139.00 I had to order another one with no hesitation . Every now and then I come across a deal and this time I think I did. I had to buy the 100 foot PTZ cable which is a must but did find out that at night that when the infrared LED comes on, the camera would act up. This is believed to be from the factory being only 4 amps at 12 volts so I ordered a 6 amp power supply and will test tomorrow. I still have hopes this will be resolved. Anybody thinking about trying the Cat 6 or 7 cable idea, forget it -it won`t work. I`ve tried all the way down to the 50 foot cable and it will not do what this camera is really capable of. My wife is really impressed with camera and that is good enough for me. The camera will do what it says it will do. My biggest disappointment came when I bought a LEFTEX mini controller for it and it did not work and it did not come with any instructions. I will eventually find the right controller and let you know which on works. After all was done I checked the camera resolution and found it to be 944 by 480 . What gives here because this is not what I ordered.

Crisp, waterproof, and solid build. Big camera, looks top-quality. Clear instructions, but needs a pro for setup.

Great picture..Easy to set up...

My 1080p DVR says it’s a 960 camera, not 1080p but it works well. TIP: the ptz signal wires require a short connection to the dvr, or thick gauge wire (12ga?). That was even with the power adapter plugged on a nearby receptacle.
