New pan/tilt cameras

The Ultra series tops the range
At the top end is the third-generation Ultra. It records in 4K HDR with a 180-degree field of view, pairing sharp detail with wide coverage. The camera is built to handle heat, cold, rain, and snow, and it includes two-way audio with noise reduction for clearer conversations. It lists for $199.99.
