Review: A Great Camera - This is a great camera. I installed it under a second floor roof overhang where it gets a 270 degree view. It's at my weekend ranch house so I thought I would use it to look out for trespassers while I'm stuck in the city. It's great for the intended purpose. I have it set to send me an email and an image if it detects a vehicle. Turns out its great for watching wildlife as well. I set it up to do a patrol that does a wide view that pans slowly cross it's entire field of view so I can see what the weather is doing. It then pans down and goes in a little tighter and does another slow pan. Next it zooms in tight and pans to a a few key spots and lingers on each for a while. Running and watching the patrol has become part of my morning routine. The possibilities are unlimited, mostly. I keep it set at it's "Balanced" video setting. It's a little grainy but the video feed is smooth on my limited bandwidth. You can do a HI-RES playback if something happens that you want to seen in sharper detail. The largest SD card will hold almost a weeks worth of recordings. The uploaded image is a screen shot from a video clip of a couple of Axis Deer fighting over the water trough. A little dry this year. They are about 70 yards from the camera and this image is cropped pretty tight but is relatively clear. In addition to the 5x optical zoom it is possible to zoom in tighter when playing back recorded clips. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have more optical zoom and that when manually panning it moves pretty quick and sometimes overshoots the intended target. I have a couple of inexpensive cameras that cover the porches and areas I can't see with this one. I'm very happy with this one, I may get another one for the opposite corner of the house.
Review: Awesome POE PTZ Camera - I added this PTZ POE camera to an existing Reolink system to the front of my house.I wanted person tracking and to be able to have a 360 viewing capability's It exceeded my expectations on performance, picture quality, Zoom, color night video, ease of installation! The phone application was easy to download and use it gives you total control and complete programming of the camera system. Only one down side is the camera only mounts one way only. I would recommend this camera be mounted on a corner of the structure do to its 360 capabilities. If your on the fence just buy it I am sure you will be impressed as I am And highly recommend this camera!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Power Draw
*by B***R on January 16, 2023*

I have purchased a couple dozen of these cameras over the past several years and find them to be overall very satisfactory, especially because they bring pretty good value (what you get for what you pay for them). I use the cameras with home servers that I have built for various of my properties. I run Blue Iris 5 software on the servers. Blue Iris is an outstanding product in my opinion. With this setup I can see the cameras from anywhere in the world and also control them (use an iPhone). The only problem I have had with these cameras is that they have an unusual propensity to go into a restart and recalibration sequence spontaneously and not recover from it. I believe this is related to the amount of power they draw and the PoE switches that I use to drive them. They are stated to draw 28 Watts, (PoE+), but I am suspicious that they draw a bit more than that. I have "burned out" two PoE switches that have 8 outputs rated at 30W per output. The telltale sign is that one or more cameras will start beeping and spinning, stop and then repeat the process endlessly. This is the process that the cameras go through on initialization out of the box. I suspect that the PoE power drops below the threshold required to sustain operations and that drives the camera into the initialization mode. I have been able to fix this most times by replacing the PoE switch. Ultimately, I bought $400 switches that supply PoE++ on every line and the problem went away (one exception - one camera after doing this routine for several weeks never would recover). I have not had a recurrence since buying this super-duty switch. If you are using one or several cameras you should have a good experience I suspect.
