rupert720 0 Posted April 11, 2012 I stumbled upon Loftek sentinel-D1 IP camera on Amazon. It comes with PTZ funtions at the price of 125.99 dollars. And other pamameters almost can satisfy me. How do you like it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Looks like a toy, but it will surely be better than a fake camera. 320x240 at 30fps or 640x480 at 15fps. I would not recommend it for anything else than live view, I would not expect to get any decent footage recorded. http://www.loftek.us/Product_view.asp?Categoryid=42&id=208 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey MindTwist, I got the videos on YouTube. Just search Loftek sentinel-D1. It seems that those are uploaded by Loftek. This is the one of those videos.

This is the one of those videos. Well, I do know that camera from that video (I recognised the interface), but being sold with the brand Apexis instead of Loftek. It must be some chinese OEM camera that anyone can put their brand on. Loftek sentinel-D1 is also being sold as Apexis APM-J901-Z-WS, no idea if they are the original manufacturers but they could be, they are from Shenzhen. http://www.apexis.cc/Products/63.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is hard to say. Apexis is brand, Loftek as well. http://loftek.us/Product_view.asp?Categoryid=42&id=208 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you like it? Oh, Gosh. It is a little attractive at this price for a PTZ dome camera. The price of Loftek sentinel-D1 is changing. It is $165.99. Perhaps it is a popular security dome camera on Amazon. This a huge change on price. Expecting it to cut its price one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camera-newbie 0 Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah, but that doesn't make the camera decent per the specs -- it's still a toy and not much beyond that. For a good name-brand/supported IP PTZ camera you're looking at somewhere between 10x and 15x that price.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxIcon 0 Posted May 4, 2012 One thing users find with the low-budget IP cameras is that they can have a hard time maintaining the frame rate without having network resets, and many are incapable of reaching their spec frame rate at all. If that's important to you, it's worth checking out reviews to see if it's a problem with this model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
