Manual Pan / Tilt Turret Amcrest camera models

[amcrestdude]

Howdy,

Can you manual pan and tilt on these Amcrest camera models?

- IP5M-T1179EW-28MM
- IP8M-T2499EW-28MM

If not which models can you manually pan and tilt?

Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum

So the T1179EW has Manual: Pan: 0°–360°Tilt: 0°–78°Rotation: 0°–360°
And the T2499EW I am sure is going to offer something of about the same.. I am not sure because I can't find any other info on it...

I have the T2499EW and it can be manually oriented any which way within the dome enclosure.

Thank you @Revo2Maxx and @duc916 .

Seems like both would work for me. Any ideas as to how they perform at night?

I'm also considering the IP4M-1055E and wonder how the IP5M-T1179EW-28MM and IP8M-T2499EW-28MM would do in the dark.

Thank you again.

The infrared image quality is on par with other models/brands. That said, the extra pixels you get @ 2160p don't buy you much at night. It's the daytime image that really outshines 1080p by far.

Thank you for the information.

You can manually pan and tilt the IP8M-T2499 during installation, if that is what you are asking. It is a fixed-position camera once installed. I recommend the 4.0mm lens over the 2.8mm lens for most applications.

Thank you @patric ... Same for the IP5M-T1179EW as I understand.

If I may ask .. why the 4.0mm model vs 2.8mm? I always like wide coverage as one can see more area especially when placing the camera to observe the front of the house. The previous camera was a bullet model that did 128 degree Horizontal.
