I'm not sure how I missed this, but I really like this PTZ. On paper, it seems like it should be a really good camera. What are your thoughts on this, guys?

People that follow me know that I have shown that 2MP is more than enough and that focal length is more important than MP at a set distance, so I think this would be an absolute monster contender at night.

I think for a PTZ that can see further away, 2MP on a sensor designed for 8MP would be incredible at night.

The question is how much and when are you getting one LOL.

Yeah but say if it auto tracks do we need 4mp resolution even say at day time?
