Hoping some folks can help...
I'm wanting a camera for my downstairs back patio, it'd be a security camera;
But is equally important for recording exercise sessions & doing remote PT sessions.
As that space has been converted to a Home Gym.
Requirements are as follows...
(1)
Excellent Image Quality & a wide FOV (horizontal & vertical)
(2)
Decent audio capture abilities (field-array mic?)
(3)
Can P/T/Z as the subject moves, & not be confused if there's a 2nd subject standing nearby
Can encircle the subject to look at it from behind & the sides, not just the front or above
(4)
Hopefully not heaps more than $500USD, absolute limit of $1kUSD
(5)
Can be powered via A/C + Ethernet (not just PoE)
(6A)
Can transmit recordings via quality WiFi (not just Ethernet)
OR
(6B)
At the very least record to mSD/SD or some other local storage medium
If there's 1 or more model that satisfies points 1 to 4 but not 5, then I guess I can forget the latter.
If it/they also can't do 6A or B, then I guess I can forget them too...
But I really hope it/they can meet at least some of the points beyond 1 to 3!
If it's too hard to meet all of 3, then maybe just these elements:
Can P/T/Z as the subject moves... (on refection, it doesn't matter if it won't always focus on the subject, as the other person will be close to subject most of the time anyway!)
Can encircle the subject to look at it from behind & the sides, not just the front or above (maybe do-able with 2 or 3 well-positioned cams?)
If it helps...
Later I'll link to a video of the space, & I'll try to get some rough dimensions of the entire space?
Surely there's something out there that comes substantially close to what I want!
Thank-you.

These come fairly close, & the pricing isn't eye watering:
Reolink RLC-423S - 5MP PTZ PoE IP Security Camera
Reolink RLC-423WS - 5MP Pan Tilt Zoom WiFi Camera
But it seems only the PoE version can Pan/Tilt/Zoom in the direction of the subject?
Nope the matrix was wrong, the product page confirms that the WiFi version also does Pan/Tilt/Zoom!
I wish the PoE version did WiFi too, or they at least offered a SKU that does both (at least there's local recording)!
And I wish the PoE version also had A/C-in + Eth, not just PoE!
Their pre-sales is retarded so they may've misunderstood what I'm asking, but they seemed to confirm it does do A/C-in + Eth, not just PoE!
