How loud is this camera when using the PTZ? I have seen a few videos where it is loud.
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks!

How Loud Is The AXIS M5014 PTZ?

I have one of those that I use in class. Mine makes a loudish clicking sound when it powers up and rotates through it's positions (at the end of each direction it 'grinds' before moving in the next direction).
As far as operational use, I would best describe the level of sound as being similar to having a cell phone on vibrate sitting on a desk top when it rings.
It's not terribly loud, but it is certainly noticeable.

Feb 20, 2014Not sure this is a key point for you, but the M5014 doesn't have a continuous orbit. It pans, but there are hard stops with no slip ring. If you hit a stop but still need to jog over a few degrees, you actually need to reverse rotation, and let it grind away in the opposite direction.
Noise isn't bad, but it isn't really designed to be quiet, since it's not really the sort of PTZ you would use to track movement.
