Looks pretty good. Are you going to get one?

Features look very good for the price. ONVIF version is pretty old but that probably doesn't matter much. I'd worry more about the lack of IE 9 support but that wouldn't have to be a deal-breaker. Could you post some sample pics in the megapixel forum if you get one?

Where are you located? If you're in the states it'll cost you big time to ship anything back for repair or replacement- if inesun won't cover the shipping. I have an inesun ptz and I hope I never have to test them on that. If you're in the states you could consider what looks to be a nice selection of cameras from gadspot. I haven't looked there in a while because I've been done with my install for some time. But I just took a peek and the selection looks good-

nope, i'm in Europe, Ireland actually,

 

one thing i've wondered about dome cameras is when your setting it up, like aiming it. ok with a bullet you probably loosen a screw and aim it, where you like.. .im not talk about focusing now, just aiming it. up/down, back and forth. . .

 

how does it work with a dome,

 

if i had it on the under side of an eve would it take positioning it correctly first time. . like screwing it to the underside. . . and i resume it doesnt move up and down much. .

 

 

or, inside that round ball of glass, can u take the glass off, and basically move the camera all about?

Every dome is different in how you adjust it but most are 3 axis, meaning you can move the lens up and down, side to side and rotate the lens. Adjustments vary but larger domes like that usually have 180 up/down, 360 side to side and 360 rotate. Many cameras come with the ability to do this locked down with set screws, so look for those if the lens doesn't move freely. Also, be careful with the rubber donut that separates the lens from the dome, it has to be perfectly in place.

 

Clearly, to reach the lens you have remove the dome. The camera probably comes with an allen wrench to remove the screws that hold the top section of the camera in place.

 

If mounting under an eave, make sure there isn't a fascia board near the camera that may cause the IR LEDs to bounce back and create glare.
