Any recommendations for POE external pan/tilt cameras?

MrEd

I looked at the list on this site (thanks Ben!) but I struggled to find the cameras on Amazon.co.uk. There seem to be some like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amovision-Megapixel-2-8-12mm-Vision-Outdoor-White/dp/B00HUOV8KK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ph_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1YHSXCJJ4G21R2C4A504

but it's suspiciously cheap (<90 GBP)

Thanks (and Happy Christmas all!)

Hi MrEd,

The camera you link to is cheap because it is a fixed camera - it does not have mechanical Pan/Tilt. It has good specifications for the price so may work well otherwise, but for an outdoor camera with mechanical Pan/Tilt, expect to pay significantly more. For example, the Canon VB-M600D is a very nice camera that should meet your requirements - it currently retails for around GBP 600 which is reasonable compared to similar models by other manufacturers.

Hope this helps.

I would hope by this time next year, that Hikvision or Dahua will have one at the $400 street price point... I have just the place picked out already for this ;-)

MrEd

Thanks all - sounds a bit out of my price range for the moment. Fingers crossed Dahua come up with something! ;-)

You could also look at the Foscam line. I haven't been super-impressed with their lower-end ones but they have some higher-res versions that friends say work pretty well but I have yet to try.

Couple one of these PTZ cameras with a POE splitter like the TPLink TP-POE10R which is about $14 and you have a poor man's POE PTZ.
