Provide me the actual part number of the lens and I will tell you what it costs. I support the Computar Lens line. I just can't make out the entire part numbers. The lens may be worth way more than the camera.

The tracking with a PTZ will be a huge waste of time and money. If you have a 180 degree area I would recommend installing (2) high quality cameras an locking them in on the areas you are trying to best secure. You can get a couple high quality cameras for the same price of a PTZ camera.

I also think if something is working for you and the price is right then sounds like you did it right. The only thing I see is a major difference than a name brand DVR and knock off brand is the warranty. Many DVR manufacturers are offering 3 and 5 year warranties. But if this is not important to you....then go with what you got!
