Annke CPT500 security cam review: Built for business, but useful at home

PCWorld

If you prioritize performance over aesthetics, the Annke CPT500 delivers strong video quality, smart tracking, and flexible installation options that make it a solid choice for both commercial and home security setups. By the look of it, the Annke CPT500 3K Mini PT Speed Dome PoE Security Camera is primarily intended for commercial applications, such as monitoring parking lots, warehouses, and other large spaces. Annke uses the word "dome" in this camera's name, but the CPT500 doesn't really look like the typical enterprise-style camera that has the camera housed inside a glass or plastic dome for protection from vandals. That being said, its small size would be ideal for homeowners who need to monitor wide spaces or locations where you'd want to track a person or vehicle moving around in it; say, a driveway, walkway, or porch, for instance. If you're willing to embrace the Annke CPT500's industrial aesthetic, you'll get a range of features that make it an equally compelling option for residential use.
