All,

I'm looking to get a good Outdoor PTZ camera with the Sony CCD that has medium speed (50/sec or faster) with at least a 20X or higher optical zoom for my backyard. There alot on the old Ebay (dont know if there any good or not) but I thought I would try here first. Heres the kicker, my budget is $350 and under.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
GT

Sorry! I could not resist!

:D I've actually contiplated that!!!

For that budget I don't think there is a system out there. Just a motorized lens to give you 20x is more than your budget not including the camera and pan tilt unit. You may be able to find a used ptz on the internet for about that price but I would be weary of the quality.

Maybe I could help you.
