Nice report. Looks like a good value.

One question: The Hik cannot zoom in as far as the others, but it also looks like it can't zoom out as far either, yes/no?

Please add metric systems to your reports - important for us living more than 5000' from Hawaii

Note: Imperialists like myself use the ' to denote feet. :)

It's 5066 miles from Maine to Hawaii, and they figured it out.

In Bosch camera there is a profile call HD bandwith optimized, not default. This improve/reduce the bandwith cunsumption. Thx

Just got one of these for a client - nice so far. Our environment is pretty harsh - salt & sun - we'll see how this fares.

The cam looks good for the price. One downside is that the Lens / IR LED area cannot be truly vandal proof. I did not see any IK ratings on the Hikvision / Bosch datasheet. But if that is not a requirement for critical infrastructure, the cam is solid for the price.
