I purchased this camera on ebay for about that price, but it had to get shipped in from overseas. so this may be a better deal.

I ordered a couple.... I hope they work reasonably well. I'll let you know once I try them out.

The LED illumination on the 2nd gen PT cameras is so bright that it lights up the entire garage when its dark.

I can though lock up the camera by sending it a move and change brightness command at the same time. I had some issues running the camera with Zoneminder until I tweaked the ZM buffers down a bit.

I also tested using a wide angle lens on the 1st gen Foscam PT camera. It worked but the reflections from the LEDs caused some issues. I had to make a small "shell" like cardboard tube like structure to go around the lens such that it was even with the LED lights.

Foscam technical support is great. But they wouldn't take back their first gen camera after I couldn't get it to work right after a "few" firmware upgrades per their instuction. It was only a few weeks old and shipped directly from one of their recommended suppliers in China.
