Hardware
Well finished, the two servomotors are pleasantly quiet. Shipping packaging is very professional. Delivery: wall bracket with screws, external power supply, network cable, CD-ROM, Manual. The manual is easy to understand.
Picture & Sound
The picture quality is good, a slight wide angle distortion can be seen (fish-eye effect). Even in complete darkness enable the built-in infrared LEDs a clear (black-white) look into the room. The built-in microphone is sensitive enough. The built-in speaker does not sound good (for announcements enough), but you can connect an external speaker.
Alarms
The camera can also switch outputs (connector supplied) as a motion trigger alarms or turn on a lamp, for example. Furthermore, they can send photos via email or upload videos or photos to an FTP server. These functions I have not tested.
Software
Unfortunately, the bundled software does not work correctly under Windows 8.1, the camera can not be found. Under older versions of Windows, at least works the search program that displays the IP address of the camera. The Android software HooToo place the camera immediately and this works fine. Otherwise you can also use a browser to adjust the camera, here exceptionally it is recommended to Internet Explorer (including that of Win 8.1), due to the display plugins and recording capability. Firefox and Chrome need an installed VLC to display the camera image. These browsers can also display a delayed slightly more (about 1 sec.) As in IE (about 1/3 sec.). You will notice this when you press the Stellbutons.
I have the camera then also integrated into iSpy what home is the standard program for different IP cameras with us. With some fiddling, I have found the following settings:
Set as H.264 video source via the VLC plugin, URL: rtsp: //: @: 554/11, easiest via IP camera with Wizard.
To activate the camera (PTZ) I have found the following settings:

These settings must be entered in iSpy at the end of the camera definitions PTZ2.xml. The ID of the next free number change. I have these definitions also published in the Forum of iSpy, so there is a chance that the camera is in the next versions of the configuration list.
The easiest way to find the file in PTZ iSpy: click the bottom of the camera image settings, select in the camera PTZ dialog. Here you can select the camera model. Right click next to the camera field, click Edit. Then the editor opens with the PTZ file. Now insert the top section by cut-and-paste and the CAMERA ID change to the next free. Save and close the editor.
Then click reload. Now the camera can be selected as usual.
Conclusion
Despite the failure of the software supplied a clear recommendation, especially given the price. An indoor HD camera with this performance and usability of this can be found not so fast at this price.
