    Wireless IP Cam with PTZ replacement recommendations

    Thank you for the explanation. I understand what you mean and I can see why it could be an issue. Unfortunately, I currently do not have the money to run lines cleanly, so it is currently the only set up that I am able to do at minimal cost. With my current amcrest ip4m-1051 cameras, I have not...

    Wireless IP Cam with PTZ replacement recommendations

    why is a wifi ptz not a good combination? I am talking about indoor home cameras, so I'm not using this for industrial or enterprise usage. Is it possible that my use case would make the cons of such a thing a moot point in this case?

    i usually have my cameras static but from time to time, I'd like to be able to move it. there are some rooms where I would check directly below the camera on an off chance I'm looking for something but generally all my cameras are static. On that technicality, I guess I COULD live with a non...

    Amcrest IP4M-1051 series discontinued. Alternative suggestions?

    good to know. I was still quite surprised when they insisted that the 1051 is discontinued completely. Even with a shortage, I would have thought that they would still consider keeping the camera on their line up but just make an announcement that the shortage is causing issues with acquiring...
