POe PTZ Camera that has good audio capture

[spinn3rf]

Hello, everyone.

I'm looking to replace a very old camera that is currently installed on my driveway.

Ideally with a POE PTZ camera with reasonable resolution.

But the really important quality is how it captures audio.

I've looked into quite a few cameras but after looking and listening to test footage, the audio is terrible in pretty much every single one of them and I'd like to avoid having to install an external microphone.
I need to monitor for anti-social behaviour which comes, mainly, in the form of noise.

Any suggestions?
Any help is much appreciatted, thank you.

The PTZs with good resolution do not come with onboard audio because all you hear is the PTZ moving around.

Now they do include an input cable to add an external microphone.

Maybe you go with a fixed cam with good onboard audio and then the PTZ?
