Top 4 Important Purchasing Tips for Rotating Security Cameras

Here is a quick breakdown of the most important points of consideration when deciding if you need rotating security cameras.

#1. Plan Accordingly for Your Budget

Wide angle viewing as well as full rotation makes these cameras more versatile than their fixed lens counterparts.

You may expect rotating cameras to be much pricier than other models.

This is not necessarily true. Here’s an average price reference list:

Camera Type

Average Price

WiFi Rotating Security Cameras

$40 – $150

Outdoor PTZ Camera

$750-$1,200

Rotating Camera with LED Light

Up to $300

Rotating Security Camera System

$200 – $1,500

Fixed Lens Security Camera

$70 – $400

Fixed Lens Security Camera System

$400 – $2000

As the table above shows, our rotating security cameras are in keeping with the average price of similar units across the board.

In fact, with our units you are gaining superior quality coverage with low to median pricing.

If you need indoor rotating coverage only, your costs will be much lower as outdoor PTZ options are on the higher end of the price range.

Also consider any hidden fees. Luckily with LaView, we never require subscriptions. The PTZ model records directly onto an NVR, while the ONE PT has onboard micro SD storage as an option with a Cloud subscription as an optional means of storage.

#2 Check Reviews for Rotating Functions

Pan and tilt rotation are extra layers of functionality for cameras. For that reason, it is important to know that you have a fast, smooth and reliable camera.

Doing research before is a good idea which includes reading reviews on the company’s site, watching related product review videos as well as reading reviews on other tech media outlets.

Reliable Tech News Outlets:

  • CNET
  • PCMag
  • TechRadar
  • Digital Trands
  • TechHive

As an example of a good source for tech reviews, check out our recent feature on Home Automation X below. The video features our ONE Link Wireless Battery Camera System. Not exactly a rotating security camera, but a great option for versatile, totally wire-free surveillance!

#3. Ensure Your Rotating Component Isn’t Too Noisy

Beyond wanting fast as well as smooth rotation, you also want a product that isn’t disruptive to your household. We appreciate how difficult it can be to get the little ones to bed. That’s why the ONE PT provides particularly quiet rotation for your convenience.

Other cheaper models on the market don’t do you the same service with their loud buzzing and intrusive mechanical sounds.

This may be a key piece of information to look for in your review research.

#4 Be Careful When Trying to Create Your Own DIY Rotating Security Cameras

Nowadays it seems like everything can be a DIY project. Though this is true, we suggest exercising serious caution when if you try to create your own DIY rotating security cameras.

This would entail converting a fixed camera into a rotating one by adding a rotating mount.

This is definitely possible, but before you get into researching that, look at our quick things to remember along the way.

  • Building rotating security cameras on your own requires professional skills and deep knowledge.
  • Rotating stand brackets may not be compatible with specific camera types. Check this ahead of time!
  • You may end up spending a lot more money building your own DIY solution compared to buying one of our optimized and fairly-priced models.
