Not always. There's ad purposes that can't be done using 2+ static cams.
See cam in the Amsterdam. What's cam model is used here? Any thoughts?
Dahua DH-SD22404T: current rotation times 94%?

They use Axis camera's, and they also use pauses.. Plus, you will not notice when they have to change the camera due to damage, and they are paid by the dutch government.
btw: Axis Q6128-E (Around 4000 euro)

Hello,
I can understand the frustration of Evgenioz. The SD6AL830V is a very expensive camera from the Ultra series. Why does the camera have a tour function if it destroys the camera in a very short time? There are motors today that can last for years, why does Dahua use motors that can't?
Autotraking is advertised by Dahua, but doesn't work properly. There is nothing in the Technical Documentation about these limitations.

It can last for years if you use it properly. You are correct a tour is a useless function and should be eliminated.
There is no camera on the market that can tour indefinitely without consequence.
Auto tracking will always be a gimmick regardless of brand unless multiple cameras are used with advanced software.

There's no limitations in Dahua ads and technical specs related to the tour functions. So any consumer can expect/hope that cam will work properly for 1.5-2 years at least (and than can be serviced for 10-30% of price).
BTW SD6AL830V costs about half (2000eur) of Axis Q6128-E. But Dahua is Chinese brand, and Axis is much expensive US-brand.
My cam use 5 secs pauses between 6 destination points and 20 sec pause between rotations. And lasts for just 150 days. I have hot spare for all of my cams, but swap the cams every 150 days is ridiculous.
PS: I expect about 3 years lifetime for all video-gear, and we always upgrade all the cams even them still work fine after this period.

Of course there is no limitation in the specs, it's common sense. No one else lists limitations but we know that they all have them. Buy another brand. I'm sure it will last for many years constantly moving around

I don't expect "last for many years", I need just 2 years (local warranty from Dahua)

Hello,
I am a control engineer for air conditioning technology and therefore somewhat surprised. We expect from the
servomotors have a service life of 10 years. I have servomotors from "Landis Gyr" which have been working without failure since 1990. These rules at least 8 months a year continuously 24 hours.
Greetings

Yes, because the motors used in air conditioners are the same as cams
