I'm looking for a single IP camera solution for my second property.
20250522_083715.jpgI would like to cover the area in the picture attached.
I mostly will be using it as a remote view. I also like the PTZ feature for tracking purposes.
The building has a 1 foot overhang side and front. Couldn't find a multi lens PTZ with 270 degree fixed lenses.
I have about a $500 budget. Thanks in advance.
 
What is your goal - to be able to check in or to get info that the police can use?

One camera cannot be the be all/see all. The camera to IDENTIFY at 15 feet is a different camera than one to IDENTIFY at 70 feet.

PTZs with motion tracking are a compliment to an existing fixed camera system and not replacements for fixed cameras.

So with only PTZs and no additional fixed cameras - what happens when 2 or more people come up to your house - the PTZ is only catching and tracking one of them, not all of them.

PTZs are not perfect and can lose tracking. Then you miss the person.

What happens when the PTZ is looking left and a perp comes from the right?

That is why PTZs are not a replacement for fixed cameras - they are a compliment to an existing system.

If you rely on a PTZ only it will miss many instances, especially when it is off tracking something else.

You are much better off using fixed cams as spotter cams to point the PTZ to where the action is and then let the autotracking take over from there.

See this thread on how a PTZ compliments a fixed camera system.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I was looking at one of Andys PTZ3E10X-T180 cameras.
I couldn't find any demo video to show if one of the two fixed lens see motion the PTZ would move and track the motion.
This would be good enough for now until I get more funds.
Sorry for the newb questions.
 
I dont own one and they relatively new but in theory yes

  • Linkage Mode​

    The panoramic channel and detail channel can be linked to achieve smart tracking. When a human/vehicle triggers the IVS rule of the panoramic channel, the detail channel will proceed to track the detected object.
    • Linkage Tracking: The object can still be tracked even partially occluded.
    • Relay Tracking: linkage tracking + Auto tracking 3.0. The object can still be tracked continuously after walking out of the panoramic view.
