PTZ input on exterior vertical wall SD22204UE-GN vs. SD1A404XB-GNR

[tomas21]

Looking to add another ptz on our house mounted most likely on a wall vertical. Based on the feedback coming from experience any recommendations of the SD22204UE-GN vs. SD1A404XB-GNR. There is little to no lighting in the area besides a street light 200 ft away. Looking for something somewhat low profile and can allow for ptz.

Wondering if not having built-in audio is a reason to not get the SD22204UE-GN

Can the SD22204UE-GN be installed vertical or not really given its orientation and ptz range ?

I would not, the PTZ would be useless for the most part in this orientation.

Thanks. So is the beat practice to install ptz horizontal and around ~8ft vs ~18ft at the top peak under an eve.

It depends, What is it you hope to accomplish with this cam? What do you want to see?
