Re: [EE] Outdoor PTZ security camera modules?

Hi Jason,
in the past months I bought and tested some cameras (50~200 USD).
My target was POE, optional PTZ, mandatory use without cloud or apps.
I gave up! (For now)
Some cameras have very good image quality and good construction but the 
firmware/software side is terrible.
Usually all the functions are available ONLY using their app and the 
compatibility with other software is poor.
Some requires a plugin and Internet Explorer to configure!!!
One camera has written in the product page: "Perfect choice for both beginners 
and DIY camera enthusiasts.".
But it was not reachable with a browser!!!
So, good luck :-)
