Sineoji recently subtly released its new PT603V with 1.3 MegaPixel HD Wireless Pan & Tilt Wireless IP Camera coupled with an extremely wide angle lens of 130 to 148 degrees wide. It also records at a resolution of up to 1280x960

The camera comes in white and feature the same goodies as the previous model which I have from them, the
PT495V 720P HD IP camera. With its Instant swift action to view your footage from either your phone or computer as well as a 4x Motion Detection with Alarm Monitoring Recording to record directly into its enormous support of 128GB microSD card and/or to your FTP server.
Camera lens is installed with approximately 13 infrared LEDs that allows the camera to view as far as 10 meters in no light condition. The Sineoji, I have to admit, till date is still one of the easiest camera to be configured and installed.
Setup process is relatively straightforward thanks to the smart Sineoji mobile app that allows effortless camera management. - Excellent for people who know nuts about IT and wants to perform the installation by yourself.
On Desktop, the camera is noticeably more responsive when you use Internet Explorer. The Sineoji PT603V provides extremely sharp video image and is complemented by a wide spectrum of features.
Once again, I’d like to thanks Dean for allowing me to lay my hands on one of the un-released camera.

Camera Comparison (left: PT495V, right: PT603V)
Pros:
- 4 x Motion Detection
- ONVIF supported
- Preset settings stored and accurately goes back to the preset settings.
- Setup is extremely straight forward (android app - one key)
- Supports 128GB microsd card
- Ultra wide angle lens - probably the widest (130-148 degrees)
- Wireless setup all the way out from the box
- Work as it intended to be, in fact even more!
- 3 years of on-site warranty support & installation
Cons:
- 1.3MP is good, but can be better as competitor is only on 2MP right now
- Capped maximum video record time (10mins from the previous 15mins on the previous model)
- Revamping of interface on desktop is required - controls are still missing despite supported
- Lack of microUSB for power input
- Mediocre design (their PT595V looks damn good though)
- Unable to use it as a wireless extender
