CONCLUSION

   PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) IP cameras always have and will be my favorite ones since they allow you to cover a much wider/larger area than normal stationary models without compromising in quality and features. Certainly interior IP camera models in general don't feature the best possible quality materials because quite honestly they don't really need the best build quality (although i agree it would be a nice feature to have). The TV-IP672WI is one such model and although the hard plastic glossy exterior could never withstand harsh weather conditions it's more than enough for indoor use. The range of the night vision mode may not be the best we've ever encountered with a similar model over the years but the advertised 7.5m should be sufficient for indoor use although in our tests the 6 IR LEDs managed to slightly illuminate a distance of well over 20m. Using the wireless N mode was very easy and made it possible for us to control the TV-IP672WI from a distance of 16m with 3 concrete walls in between. My only objection is with the default image quality of the unit which was way too dark and although we did manage to bring it to good levels by adjusting the image settings (had no problem with the resolution) some people may not bother to do that (yes it happens) so i hope TRENDnet releases a firmware update to correct that. Finally the omni-directional microphone worked very well (better than most IP cameras we've tested in the past) while the SecurView Pro software suite is really filled with valuable features one wouldn't expect to find for free.

   TRENDnet has always followed an aggressive price policy with their products and so you can currently find the TV-IP672WI Megapixel Wireless Day/Night PTZ IP camera for USD231.83 inside the USA (Amazon) and at around 190Euros inside the EU. The price may not seem low to some of you out there and you can always opt for a stationary model to save a few bucks/euros but once you've used a good PTZ IP camera i really don't think you can ever go back to using a stationary model, trust me on that. Well not much left to say so if you're out looking for a good cost-effective indoor IP camera and you could use the wider range covered by an pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) model then you should seriously consider getting our Gold award winner, the TV-IP672WI.
