The Hook Up | 2022 Update BEST 4K PoE Security Camera: $1100 vs $110 Motorized Zoom Cameras. @TheHookUp | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Varifocal (Zoom) cameras are the best way to get the most out of your security cameras by capturing exactly the area you need to without wasted resolution. For this video I attempt to show the difference in quality between 2022 4k budget camera brands (Reolink, Annke, Amcrest, Lorex, Empire Tech) and premium ones (UniFi, Uniview, Bosch, Avigilon, Axis).
