This 3MP 4x zoom PTZ camera is excellent for zooming around the area and getting a 360° view of any area. It can be set to patrol an area, you can set points and then sequence each point with the idea of viewing/scanning the entire property. This camera can be controlled from the DVR directly, it is impressive when you show your friends how you can move around and zoom in to different areas around your property, however when you are notified from your alarm system that there is an intrusion, you will be very thankful you have the ability to zoom around and see what is really going on. Highly recommend this camera as an addition to your existing kit.
