Please help me select a PTZ auto tracking camera

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have an unattended site I would like to monitor with a PTZ autotracking camera.

It’s a few acres with only one entry point.

I have power on site and a power pole I was going to mount the camera too.

I was also not going to use a NVR just throw a 128GB sd card it in (cut costs), I was also going to stream it via a 4g modem (4g signal is good) is there many better options for around the same price other than these 2?

I also am not sure what modem will work and I assume I will have to pay for DDNS service as most 3G/4g are dynamic ip adress.!

Thanks guys any help on this project would be good. Budget around $3000 for parts including modem sd card camera wiring and camera mount.

Cheers

Hi. Australia the land of expensive.

 

The dahua is a good camera but useless just like the hikvision if being used as the only camera. Auto track never works.... the videos make it look good but there not

 

What type of site are you protecting .... how big ..... is it open space ?

 

SD card recording on a ptz is pointless and will let you down ..... on a fixed camera it’s ok for short footage backup but ptz moves all the time day and night

 

3&4g for what you are going to pay in Australia will be expensive you might want to look at a carrier that offers security sims and only pay a subscription like regular broadband

 

I would look at using more cameras than auto track .... it will protect more ..... and also have a recorder on site so as you can have much more video storage.

 

I know cctv options are limited in Australia and is expensive but what part are you in Australia
