Today a courier dropped-off a PTZ dome camera and a PTZ controller. Looking at the controller, I can see something is not right.

The question is: Can you see what is wrong?

<center></center>

Besides the minor 'defect' it works perfectly (so does the dome).

Number '3' is missing?

Must be a 'bad number' in the country where it was developed? [?]

No wait, maybe they have run out of 333's because there product is so 1337 ...]

What intriges me, what does the button 'FUN' do?

The letters N (on FUN) and A (on ACK) should not me there, and as RDNZL mentioned already. One 4 too much!

The FUN button is short for 'FUNction'. Pressing it and you enter the setup menu of the controller.

@Wifi: Yeah, they really FUNACKed up the keyboard [:D]

Was it cheap ? :)Ok, let's be serious: do you really use that joystick ? i think it could be better an autotracking solution

The joystick is for his wife

The PTZ dome camera will be managed by a DVR that has PTZ control possibilities.

The stand-alone PTZ controller comes in handy when programming the dome. The dome has an OSD menu that is accessible through the controller.

Hello, I'm interested in the goodies.

price is very good for all that features! it's from china , let's hope it will have a long life. i have a ptz cam (internal) from china 120 euros. today i have bought a fish ballon (yes where fishes swim...) to use as an outdoor closing . it will be attached to the top of a balcony with some screws to ensure a waterproof setup (all around the hole, some neoprene layers).

Can anyone tell me, is a 1/3" better then a 1/4" camera?

A 1/3 inch CCD, provided it has the same amount of pixels as a 1/4 inch CCD, should provide a better picture as it has a smaller surface, so it needs less light to display a picture.

However, I do not see the difference between 1/4 and 1/3.

@drmacchi: I paid E 450 for it (dome + controller + corner mounting bracket). Shipping was included in the price. I estimate the camera to last at least between 1 to 2 years. Should it break down I just replace the broken parts with new ones.

UPDATE about the fish ballon as (cheap) enclosure: there's a cross reaction between the ir lights and polycarbonate (the ballon itself) ! REFLECTION......... night vision is failed... i need some glass and another enclosure... DAMN!
