Well, we are installing cameras to bird nests, so everything happens in trees. Most of the installations are at least 15 meters from the ground and ~2 meters away from the trunk (in a camera box), thus angle/image is very hard to adjust manually. We wouldn't like to disturb nesting birds with any kind of extra distractions like PTZ self-test or sounds I guess I need to order this camera and decide if it matters.why PTZ if it needs to stay motionless?
Thanks nayr and ilrider78, I used the same guy that ilrider used to purchase the camera. I ordered on Thursday 5/19 and received it on Monday 5/23 via DHL. I hooked it up to my switch and played with the PTZ controls to make sure it works. It moves good and has a great picture. In the few minutes of playing with it i noticed it lose connection for a few seconds. It does get warm so I'll need to be mindful of where I mount this camera.I purchased a Dahua 4X Speed Dome because of this thread. I appreciate Nayr for his review, which made the decision of buying this camera an easy one.

It is currently indoors. I've tested it and I am very pleased with its performance and features. Image quality is very nice both day and night. I can post some samples once I get this thing mounted outside.
Is it only the Sub Stream that is effected by the NTSC/PAL format difference or the Main Stream as well? I'm quite new to this.They should all be english, pal/ntsc does only apply to analouge cameras.. ive got a cluster fuck of cameras that are PAL.. but IIRC this camera has option for NTSC and PAL, the only difference is a lil better resolution of sub streams in exchange for 25fps max instead of 30fps max.
comes with nothing but the camera..
