Rated 2 out of 5�by Delux Great concept, poor execution on part of Swann
I bought a PTZ Pro752. I have a DVR8-4500 which does not have the RS485 port eventhough it's a pretty expensive model, which I found odd. Any case, I still bought the camera in order to connect it because the camera itself comes with a remote for programming. After installing it and hooking it up, the OSD instructions were vague and I was unable to place the PTZ on "patrol or rove". I called Swann customer care who was unable to figure out how to program the PTZ camera. Also, I found the day resolution good, but night resolution was poor. I then returned the camera to best buy since Swann support was unable to assist me. I was supposed to get a call back from a "tier III" technician. Why cant a regular rep set it up?

Rated 4 out of 5�by Garthy Good for the money
Great image quality in the daylight a little grainy at night, works well in low light but needs some ambient light at night. Luckily I have a nearby street light that provides just enough.
Great zoom level and easy to change it's position to cover my vehicle depending where I am able to park. Easiest way is from my iphone but just as easy with the OSD.
Overall good for the money.

Rated 4 out of 5�by hobohome A cut above the rest - a few minor issues.
Nice product, fairly simple to setup and worked first time no issues.
The camera has locked up a couple of times when I was using the OSD camera setup - cycled power to resolve.
A major issue (for me) is that the dome obscures the top part of the image when the camera is tilted right up.
The camera sees very well in low light - but it has no IR light source, so it can not see in the dark. To add total darkness capability, simply install a low cost auto-IR flood light.
Positives...
- Nice build quality - seems solid.
- Great zoom - 22x is fantastic.
- Nice feature set
- Impressive low light performance.
Negatives...
- No proportional PAN/TILT (full speed is way too fast when zoomed in)
- Images quality is not great (soft) at higher zoom levels.
- Top of image is obscured by dome when the camera is tilted right up.

Rated 1 out of 5�by nigelthepelican This Camera is useless for night time
It says it can see in low light but it doesn't. I took this to mean it has IR but when I called support they told me that it does work at night time provided that you "light the area" - what a waste of time. I've had nothing but problems with Swann products.... they are of poor quality and do not do what they are sold to do.
