What I love about the Armcrest is that, while being as sturdy as the Lorex, is also almost completely white. It might not seem very important but If you live in a very sunny place like me you would know that anything white will survive in the open a lot longer than something painted black (plastic parts will have a better time with UV light, rubber seals keeping out water will not crumble to dust after a couple of months, the electronics inside will not overheat, etc). In fact, very high end PTZ cameras are almost always completely white.

Hi Rob, long time follower here. Thank you for your great review. But... here comes: I think it is best you remove your Top Pick referral. I've bought and installed two of them under a roof (dry) after watching your review, as it seemed to me that the price to performance ratio is good 'bang for the buck'. Unfortunately, both of them turned out to not be waterproof and full of moist after a week of use. This moist against the inside of the lens protection could then not be removed. After opening the camera's to dry, I found out there was a paper bag moist absorber inside the rear part of the camera housing, that seemed to be put in there by the manufacturer to (temporarily) hide the moist problem. What is even worse, is this paper bag is fitted right against the backside cooling fins of the camera unit, that being a MAJOR FIRE HAZARD as these fins can get quite warm. Furthermore, it turned out that the rubber 'seal' is really not a true seal, as it does not snugly fit and stay in place in between the enclosure parts. So the amount of sealing they provide strongly depends on your ability to fit the parts as straight as possible together with no edges to securely fit in the rubber. Luckily, after filing a claim within the 15 day period, AliExpress refunded both upon (free) return of the camera's. I'll shy away for a while from buying any serious but low-priced tech from china, as 'too good to be true' turned out to be (still) the case...

That’s not great. I had mine up over a month in the Florida elements and they didn’t have an issue. Silica gel bags are in almost every camera that I’ve ever tested, I can’t speak to the placement of them, but they are definitely common practice and not a sign of something nefarious. I’ve got mine in the closet right now but I’ll go ahead and reinstall to do more long teen testing.

I bought a PTZ for the zoom as I can't get a regular camera close enough. It's also useful to manually "look around" once in a while. It might be difficult to get power and data to enough regular cameras to cover the same area so a PTZ really helps there. They are very bulky and kinda look like something you'd see in a vegas casino.

Very nice review and testing done in a professional way. Easy to understand but a bit fast talking for me to understand. But I am 76 years and I have at times I have issues comprehending things. I like my PTZ camera but I would like one with more clarity for reading license plates. I like being able to turn my camera if it has picked up a noise and turn it to see what it is or was. I also which it had a zoom feature because I love watching wildlife but also to see what is going on down my street. Some might think I am nosy but a neighbor had his house broken into and my cameras clarity just wasn’t good enough to capture the thugs ripping my neighbors house and car off. I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want color at night time myself being a retired police officer can attest that black and white can be useless at night for descriptions such as the color of a vehicle or someone’s colors of their clothing. So someone’s description when asked what color someone’s car or clothing was and the answer being ah to be honest my camera doesn’t record in color. I think your channel is one of the if not the best in my opinion on KZitem this was why I subscribed to it. Thank You and Cheers

First of all, this is the absolute best channel/source around on all of the topics covered; just superb job on every subject! Want to share my experience purchasing the Hikvision Compatible on Aliexpress. I received a sealed box with only a bracket and NO camera. I disputed and seller responded almost immediately saying weight of package registered with UPS was what it should be and actually produced a picture of box/package on a scale. I guess it's possible seller is totally legit and somehow the camera got removed in transit before getting to my home, but ultimately I paid $200+ for a camera and only received a bracket. I'm assuming many others have great experience with Ali but this was my first (and likely last). Now wishing I had paid a few more $ on Amazon..

The problem with auto tracking is that if two people came into the range of the property and then one attempt to entering the house at the side door and the other one goes to the backyard. The ptz camera won't be able to track two people going separate ways. That's why I think ptz security camera is an add on. You will still need to place cameras at 4 corners of the house (assuming that the house is a regular design) and they should be installed with a minimum 13 feet above ground.

They need to have a camera that has about 180 degree view up down left right. If it detects motion then record, and it can have a PTZ camera that can move to that location and follow the motion and record and follow the movement until that movement is out of frame. Now that would make a great Camera. The 180 degree camera can be lower Resolution like 2mp ect then the PTZ can be like 8mp or higher.

Well, the hub box is useless I was wondering if there is any way if any wireless NVR system or non-wireless NVR using the internet cables from cameras to NVR, cameras do have an internet port on it. May this work for the Insteon cameras? The cameras work like a PTZ IP camera when installed upside down using the flip mirror.

I have been using BlueIris for a while but I am really impressed how good the RLC-520A can record the events, it records 15s before the event, the event itself, and 15s after the event with no false trigering.

I struggled with that Vikviz (Hikvision compatible) for a month before returning. Out of the box the UI is made for and only works correctly with Internet Explorer... which essentially went away June of 2022. I used an extension to Chrome to get the UI working correctly. Instructions, you'll not get any with that particular camera. You are on your own to hunt down how to enable object tracking, how to set the home position or any of the presets. Playing postcard chess with support on the mainland consumes days and there is also some language barrier that makes their responses less than clear. But they will reply. The unit I received did have ONVIF support. For $200 it's not a bad camera and the optical zoom is quite good. But if you REALLY need a good PTZ, spend the extra $$ and get a genuine Hikvision. It will cost you double & it's worth every cent.

I also want to get a video doorbell that uses my oregional chime and the same app for the cameras.. all for under $200 per camera. What is your recommendation.

Is this option better 4x ptz cameras, or buy hikvision cheapest set 4x 2mpix 20m IR.

I have a unique requirement for a security camera. I want to deploy them inside environmental chambers to monitor equipment under test (EUT). My standard profiles have temperatures that range from -40°C to +70°C which would seem to indicate an outdoor camera. But, because of the close quarters inside the chambers (from a few cubic meters to a small room) I need to be able to focus on close items, not down driveways which would seem to indicate either a porch/doorbell camera or an indoor camera (which wouldn't have the temperature rating). I also don't want a huge beast of a camera like many of the outdoor cameras... I want PTZ so I can look over different areas of interest of the EUT from the front to the back and side to side without having to open the chamber door and manually reposition the camera. It is fairly dark in the chambers (they have windows, but many of the windows have frosted over so during the day it is only a soft light source. And, at night when the lab lights are off, there really isn't any light in the chambers except what the EUT might be giving off. So, I'd like good IR night vision that isn't blown out with a close subject, and it would be nice to have decent night color. Because the chambers are made from stainless steel, they make very good faraday cages so I would need ethernet (can't use WiFi) and would like to keep cable management simple with PoE or PoE+. Setting up connection to cloud services is highly frowned upon by our corporate IT, so I'd need to be able to connect to the cameras directly with a Web interface and for future I'd like to be able to connect all of them (5 cameras) to a single DVR that I can then connect to with a Web interface so I only have to remember one IP address for all the cameras instead of 5 separate IP numbers. Does anyone know of a camera that might fit my rather unique requirements? Any hints on search terms or question wording to camera vendors that I can use? Currently we are using el-cheapo D-Link indoor PTZ cameras and destroying them roughly every 6 months...

Did you want infrared with that? Is money a factor here? Did you ever find a camera(s) that work?

@@Shroommduke IR is a possibility, as long as the IR emitters don't blow the exposure out with a close subject. I haven't found a solution yet, other tasks have dominated my time.

I have the RLC-423 mounted high on a service line pole and have never had the light blow out issue. I assume since from my cameras vantage point it does not contend with shadows. Otherwise it has been a great camera for the price, and the night vision is solid.

I have problems with these vikvix ptz cameras that I bought because the ptz function does not work and does not auto track with which NVR do you test it in the video

One thing that wasn't covered is if any of these cameras, via their WebApp (built in I would hope) has the ability to send video (record) to a network path on our internal home networks? I have a server where I've set up folders for each camera that we have. I have several of those cameras recording full video 24/7. Not motion detection, but constant video with sound. I'm able to do this because each camera we have has the ability for me to set up network access to a direct path from the internet browser used. None of our cams have Cloud access, WHICH I REFUSE TO USE! So, do any of these cams have that ability, without having to use any cloud service?

Were you able to use the PTZ settings in Blue Iris to control the Hikvision Compatible camera. I just purchased one from your Amazon link and I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the PTZ to work. It was also strange on the setup. My DHCP server said it gave it an IP address but could not access it. Had to use the AjDecTools to truly enable DHCP. Thanks for all the reviews.

Hi there, I got a similar problem. Purchased the Hikvision compatible from the affiliated link. The camera sticker says that the ip address is 192.168.1.110, so far so good, I set up my ethernet connection on the same subnet and the camera responds and shows the login screen. The setup guide in the camera box says username admin, password (blank) but that login is reported as incorrect, then I tried admin admin, no luck. Tried different browsers, same thing. I can't access the camera settings to make it work with my Blue Iris. Were you able to figure the PTZ? What password did you use initially? Thank you!

please include the integration with some IoT system... you haven't check them for IoT compatibility... like they have a Mqtt for integration with NodeRed. I'm not going to spend a lot of money on something that I can't communicate with

He did say he was using them with Blue Iris. You can do your MQTT from there. I don't think I would want to have to manage an MQTT setup across multiple cameras from the cameras web page.

Thanks for the video. Would you please do a video on PTZ cameras that work best at night to capture say license plates on cars. That is the best way to help detect thieves vehicles to provide to law enforcement. I personally looking as thieves got my catalytic converter off my truck which was parked on the street in front of my home in a well lit area. My neighbors cameras and mine only picked up a black sedan with blurry license plates. Very frustrating. But that would be good to include on future vids.
