PTZ camera recommendation

Post by josepy »

What recommendations would all of you make for a "modestly" priced PTZ camera which functions with ZoneMinder?

Thanks in advance

Are you looking for an IP webcam style PTZ or a one CCTV one? I use a COP speed dome which will use many different protocols such as Pelco P and D. I also use Dennard 2050's and 2060's but these require the dennard protocol which I dont think ZM supports.
