Advise on Megapixel POE Camera for Qnap VS-2012

Recommended Posts

Looking for advice on an IP Megapixel POE camera for a Qnap VS-2012 system. We are looking to add about 3 cameras to this system which currently already hosts 5 cameras. The cameras will be mounted inside a barn facing a field to monitor horses. We are currently using Vivotek Megapixel IP cameras but are not very happy with them and will not recommend or use them in the future, we are continuing to use these cameras since we can't afford to replace them as they were not cheap. Their POE is unreliable and their service is horrible, they expect you to ship a failed camera under warranty to California and then they will ship it overseas for repair, absurd!

 

We are looking for a reasonable priced entry/mid level Megapixel IP camera from a manufacture that stands behind the product and offers good service/support if that even exists. Our system supports many camera models:

We are ok with color cameras that switch to b&w mode at night. Their main function will be to monitor during the day. We may go with two wide angle fixed cameras and perhaps one that has some sort of manual or automated PTZ. Appreciate any advise from those in the field that are familiar with the product they are recommending. Thank you.

Looking for bullet. Thanks for reply. Where are these cameras made and what is their typical warranty, how do they handle warranty issues? What model would you recommend for a decent lets say 2 Megapixel POE camera?
