Bullet camera (product suggestion)

Any chance Arlo would make a bullet camera? (that is, narrow field of view; maybe 10-40 degrees?)

I have your Arlo Ultra, and I can't justify placing any more cams with 180-degee field of view as low level of detail makes any additional cameras useless.

I could probably place 5 cams on my property with narrow field of view. For some reason nobody makes narrow field of view wire-free/solar cameras (all are PoE): an empty market segment and an opportunity for you. Same with PTZ: all solar PTZ are digital zoom (basically useless).

Here is a market study for you, on one customer (me):

- I don't care what the price would be (I chose Arlo, after all) as long as it is reliable.

- If you are working on a PTZ with OPTICAL zoom (5x or more), I can take it as a substitute, although most likely the additional price of zoom lens will not be justified.

Thanks.

I've wished and whined for this for a long time with no luck. The FOV just keeps getting wider and wider. At least one ID-type camera would be useful, even if it's a niche camera.
