SANNCE PT Digital Zoom Camera 1080P, Pan 350° Tilt 90° Outdoor Security Camera 2MP, 30 M Night Vision for Analog CCTV Surveillance System, Remote Access, IP65 Waterproof, Power Adapter Not Included

Works fine with my Sannce CCTV system. Replaced older dome style camera

Great picture quality

This was purchase to connect to my DVR purely for the PTZ function an as such was not fit for purpose. After following instructions on how to connect the camera, I found the picture quality a bit low quality. However the main reason for getting the camera PTZ did not work which was a disappointment and it had to be returned.

The media could not be loaded. After testing 2 of these and them both being faulty here’s everything I found.Starting off, it’s not a zoom camera for the copy & paste “Vine Reviewers” saying it has good (Zoom). ❌ it doesn’t. it is (Digital Zoom) as mentioned in the title, NOT Real (Optical Zoom). Optical Zoom uses the lens to physically magnify the image while keeping the resolution and sharpness of the picture high. While (Digital Zoom) enlarges the image electronically by cropping and enlarging the central part of the photograph which due to this the image quality is reduced in comparison with the original image. This is already a feature that you can do on 99.9% of Digital Video Recorders (DVR) or the apps they use and it’s not great, not unless it’s a expensive 4K camera where you can afford to lose some of the quality while gaining a closer shot. (Optical zoom vs Digital zoom picture to show).✅ The Video Encoding.This camera uses H264 format with a bitrate range of 32Kbps to 10,240Kbps (bitrate type: Constant or Variable) at 25 FPS (frames per second) at 1080x1920 (1080p) So it will work on Most DVRs. it’s a slim chance but if you find you have no picture/resources, you might have to login to your DVR on the web browser using your DVR IP address then enter your user and password then lower the resolution to 720p or the bitrate/FPS etc or make sure your DVR isn’t recording in H264+ or H265. (You also may be able to change all this in your record parameters directly from the DVR by selecting the Camera in there).✅ The Day Image Quality.The day image quality is a really good picture for its price, it’s not as sharp as they claim but you can identify a person with it from at-least 20ft away and a stationary number plate from 10 - 15ft. There is no choppiness and you can adjust the camera to make it look really smooth, as a indoor security camera or a shop camera or just a day camera, it would do the trick but that’s about it.(Day image to show).❌ The night-vision Quality.The 100ft Night-vision is BAD, you can see 100ft with the IR at night but I wouldn’t say you can capture “Sharp” images from 100ft away like they claim. It’s about as Sharp as a bowling ball, you’d be lucky if it’s sharp from 10ft away let alone 100ft. As a still image it looks okay but once you add motion it’s really poor. (Night-vision image to show).I tested 1 of these at night and thought it was because it’s faulty since some other features didn’t work and day colours was off. I got a replacement and it turned out that it’s just terrible.❌ The Minimum Quality “1080N” (DVR).Though the camera will function on a 1080N (DVR) like the seller mentioned.I wouldn’t recommend it since you will be operating the camera at 1mp (megapixel) rather than its full resolution of 2mp. You’d be better off using a (DVR) with a minimum quality of 1080p (2mp). (1080N vs 1080p picture to show).❌ The Pan/Tilt.It’s great that you don’t need 2 extra RS485 cables to run it because it’s direct through coaxial, which is hard to find on a lower price camera.The horizontal pan and a vertical tilt is smooth “when it works” after trying 2 of these, the first 1 wouldn’t tilt at all (video to show) and the replacement will tilt but won’t fully pan to the right, it goes all the way to the left and gets stuck if you go too far but only goes 70% to the right and the camera seems loose in the housing like it could fall out.Sadly it also wouldn’t allow me to set/use presets from my Hik… DVR. (Pan/tilt video to show).The PTZ Parameter Settings for this camera should be:Baud Rate 9600Data bit 8Stop bit 1Parity NoneFlow Ctrl NonePTZ Protocol UTC (Coaxitron)Address 0✅ The 3.6mm Lens.The 3.6mm lens gives you a good amount of coverage while being slightly more zoomed than the popular choice of a 2.8mm fixed lens which probably works better since you have the ability to pan/tilt so the lens gives you a slightly closer shot in areas you would have seen with a 2.8mm Lens since this has a smaller viewing angle.✅ The Cables Quality.The length is great, The power cable and Power supply are perfect. The BNC cable I was surprised about, I thought it would be poor but after testing it with a multimeter, it came back as a 75ohm cable with a reading of 81.4ohms, Which is recommended.❌ The Camera Build Quality.The build is cheap. The camera is a lot smaller than your typical PTZ which is nice, not much bigger than a regular dome camera but it feels like it could break really easy. The camera feels like it might drop out of the housing on the 2 I received like something is broken inside. it’s IP65, I personally would have preferred it to be IP66 or 67 and being plastic it would last longer made of metal.❌ The Bracket.The bracket isn’t the best. It’s just a clip on bracket, it’s easy to install and it does the job but it would have been a lot better if it had a pin or screw to make it abit more secure.✅ The remote accessDepending on which DVR you use, you can access the Camera on the DVRs app along side all of your other camera’s to keep a eye via your phone, adjust the ptz, picture and other things.❌AudioI wasn’t able to get it to work via AOC (Audio Over Coaxial) my only guess is that it’s not supported on this camera or there’s no audio. (Or maybe a problem on my end).⭐️ Tips:(1). If you find the camera has a problem with colours even after you reset the camera to default and black seems to look purple/blue, either the BNC cable needs changing or the Camera is faulty. (Happened to the first camera I tested).(2). If you goto the PTZ menu on your DVR, click the Iris button or the menu button or sometimes the centre blue button, you will gain access to the camera’s hidden OSD menu that is built into the camera for improving picture quality etc, everything from Exposure, Day & Night, Auto shutter speed, de-noise, the prevent exposure setting which is turned off by default and much more, you can also change your camera’s mode from XVI to either TVI, CVI or CVBS depending on what you want. Just use your arrows to navigate the menu, the same button to open the menu to select stuff and make sure to goto Save & Exit once you’re happy with your adjustments, if you’re just testing stuff and don’t want it to save it then you can also exit without saving.✅ Overall, its day image is 10x better than any Wi-Fi IP PTZ camera in its price range, having tested a lot of them and finding a lot of problems with them.The night vision is just like them though (poor) it really lets the camera down and the build would be okay if the Pan/Tilt wasn’t faulty on the 2 I’ve tried. I’m not trying another. Good luck.(I’m positive that this is the same camera as the Annke APT200 which is also a similar price on here.)I might test that to see if it’s any better.I Wouldn’t Recommend this security camera. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and that’s being nice.

The PT camera’s work perfect. Normally you need an 2-core cable to control the pan &tilt function (RS486) but with these you don’t. The signal for PT function is sent down the video lead with the video picture so you can use just four core cables. It also means that if you have a standard camera with no PT function you can install one of these. That said, one of the cables sent with my kit is actually faulty which is a bit of a shame. Would have given 5-stars but for that.

U should buy it the best think I ever got I will buy a new one again and I will have them round my hole house

Quick and easy installation setup was a little tricky as the app wouldn't work. Once installed the camera was OK not as described the picture is good quality upto about 15/20 metres. After 2 weeks the camera wouldn't operate rotation and pan stopped and now its locked in a position I don't want it in. Hopefully it's just a dodgy camera and not the batch.

Excellent night vision, great pan/tilt control.Overall happy with purchase.
