Looking for VERY specific PTZ
*Correction - realized it's the newer P5655-E model * The position does actually seem to stay spot-on with it, not much drift. After some tweaking, I'm at a level of auto-pointing accuracy (using ads-b data) where the track almost always stays in-frame even at 30x zoom. Night performance is not...- dirkusa

Looking for VERY specific PTZ
I just bought a used Axis P5635-E Mk ii on eBay to use for similar purpose (with GitHub - IQTLabs/SkyScan: Automatically photograph planes that fly by!). It's very smooth, auto focus is so-so, optical quality is good. Paid ~$270 shipped. Would like to find something better in your price range...- dirkusa

focus problem?
Interesting idea. I had it at 10240, but here's a comparison of 8192 and 14336 see if it makes a difference. These are a few seconds apart and the light is changing slightly, but I think the higher bitrate did definitely bring through more fine detail. . -
focus problem?
Can't seem to get the same contrast on the Hikvision, increasing the contrast just makes it look too oversharpened/crispy. I agree with you, I like the Dahua better overall. The software is better, too. Wonder if I got a rare bad one with that first Dahua, or if quality control on the optics is... -
focus problem?
Yeah, already going down that road, lol. Here is my "county fair" version of both, less crispy and bright, more natural colors (to my eye). -
focus problem?
Here's another comparison - the better of the two Dahuas against a Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LU (similar price, sensor, & lens). I tried to match brightness/contrast/sharpness to the Dahua as best as I could, and used the same stream settings. Seems like there is more detail in the center of the... -
focus problem?
Here they are with Manual shutter 0-4ms, gain 0-30. I can't detect much of a difference from before... -
focus problem?
Got the replacement Dahua, time for a scientific side by side comparison! Same model & firmware, same location, same time, same settings (using an imported config file). Implemented all the recommendations from you guys (except the shutter speed ones). -

focus problem?
One of these is a $39 Amcrest with default settings and one the $159 Dahua with default settings. Which is which? Which is a better image? -
focus problem?
I mostly want to detect & get pictures/videos of wildlife (coyotes/hawks/squirrels/chupacabra) and people walking past far away - so maybe not just the typical ID the perp use case. Ended up fiddling with the settings and get something I like much better (for Day, anyway): -10 sharpening +5... -
focus problem?
@wittaj thanks for the detailed recommendations. I did have the smoothness at 50 originally but thought that setting improved it some. @steve1225, thanks and yes, your distances are pretty accurate. Attached a new snapshot & video - don't have time to do more careful testing, but moved the... -
focus problem?
Ok, thanks for the suggestion! I updated my settings to: New snapshot attached, what do you think? It seems somewhat better, but still not great in my opinion. -
focus problem?
This is a snapshot from my new IPC-T54IR-AS-3.6mm-S3. Everything beyond about 2 to 3 meters looks blurry to me. Is this the expected image quality with the camera, or do I have a defective unit?
