Amcrest deals keep rolling in today. I bought this at ~$232 a few months ago, this may be the lowest price to date. Total is $197.18 including shipping (no tax for me).
Note: This camera requires POE+, not just plain old POE. Check your POE switch/NVR prior to purchasing.

It's an older version but still a very good Dahua cam.

Pretty sure we'll see it. If not, then oh well... I have too many cams as it is now. Though I would like to have this one if I can pick it up cheap. Don't really have any need or a real great place for it (as you know, they're kinda huge) but I've never let that stop me before. ; )
This is a very nice deal for a quality PTZ. 2MP starlight iirc.
Will it work with the costco qsee dahua OEM nvr - should, only thing you would need to check is if you need to provide more power to the PTZ ( i.e. some PTZ cameras need PoE+ ) .. still can be solved by providing power separately. ( some PTZ sold by vendors include a AC power adapter .. check what is in the package )
update: title states PoE+ - so most NVRs are PoE, so you'll need to power this separately - still a very nice deal imho. Would make a nice camera to keep an eye on a longer driveway / street mailbox / car parked on the street.

Thanks Mike for the prices!
I could see it being useful to someone watching a cam live and zooming live. But I don't really do that.

Do check some of the members reviews of videos on Dahua OEM starlight PTZ cameras at ipcamtalk. Also check youtube for examples.
So a good example of using a starlight PTZ is that you need to park on the street and that location changes each time - and with a PTZ you can change it to watch your car.
Others like to use it for watching wild life.. especially nice for those living more in the "woods"
If you like to tinker you can even configure some to zoom into areas when an alarm sensor is tripped ( like mail box opening, or gate opening ) and then return to another spot after some time...
If you're well covered with fixed cameras then you should be fine w/o a PTZ.

I have similar PTZs front and rear. Mostly used in fixed position/length but one changes length to focus more closely on cars at night and if triggered by an alert from another cam it will swing around to capture that from another angle. The other I use mostly entirely fixed but use it to scan the back yard at times, watch wildlife at a pond that I have, look for the cat, etc. Not really necessary in either case but very useful I'd say. Not really any functional downside to having the PTZ. Cost, size and power requirements are the hit.
If it is a Dahua OEM NVR it should work well once you sync the user/password + possible port and IP info.
( the Saturn product line that LaView sells is Dahua OEM - so it should work well with that kit )
rather get Ring camera

As this camera uses open standards you can use 3rd party apps with it.
For example this will work with Blue Iris.
