D-Link Securicam DCS-5300G @ TrustedReviews

Design isn’t one of this camera’s fortes as the ribbed, barrel shaped lens housing squatting between two plastic prongs wouldn’t look out of place in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. However, it can tilt through 90 degrees and pan across 270 degrees giving it a much better range than Panasonic’s diminutive BL-C10. Rotation isn’t smooth though as the motor moves the lens barrel and holder in small steps resulting in a series of jerks rather than a glide. A Fast Ethernet port is located at the rear and flanked by video and audio RCA sockets for connecting the camera to a TV. There’s also a four-pin connector block for adding external devices such as relays, door bells, door sensors and so on.
