    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Cable is solid copper and heavy duty for ground use, actually I don't like it as it's not flexible. It's probably 4 years old cat 6e and 70 ft long. Previous Ptz didn't have an issue though

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Well can't be Poe+ switch, it's brand new, so that leaves wire which I wanted to replace anyway some point.

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    I noticed I have one issue. Can't figure out if it's a software bug or power issue. In some cases when camera completes tracking subject it restarts and comes back online in couple of minutes. I have put it on a new 65w Poe+ switch that doesn't even have any other devices plugged in so I am not...

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    I mainly use everything default for image quality and it works great. There is overwhelming number of configurations but at least AT was easy to get working. I would say it works 95% of the time perfectly. I am now tempted to get second one but not sure where to place it. Due to large size it...

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    Got the 4mp cam with larger sensor then 2mp. Initial impressions it's huuuuuge but also awesome. Much better night image, so much so that IRs are not needed with some street light. I see some lens softness in corners at certain focal lengths but it's not bad. The important thing is auto...

    I do wish for Hik PTZ with AT but current price is a bit difficult to swallow.

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Yeah I didn't have long but it was enough to determine that I want a better night image for my coverage. I tried color and B&W neither was satisfactory for me. It's not a bad camera just didn't work for my night imaging needs.

    Why are you selling it? Seems like no better options to go with AT and large sensor

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    I had high hopes for this but didn't work for me. Auto tracking was actually decent but night image wasn't that good for 2MP. I think I will have to swallow the cost and go with 4MP with bigger sensor.

    SD5A425XA-HNR pixelated/noisy image when ptz in motion

    I received SD5A425XA-HNR while playing around with it I noticed that at night when camera is moved or auto tracking started image becomes noisy until the camera stops moving it goes back to cleaner image. Is there some setting that might be causing this?

    Isn't this cam 4 years old? Thought there would be something newer

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    I ordered SD49225XA-HNR. Also would be nice to find Hikvision option too

    Best cams with auto tracking?

    I have mostly fixed lens cams now 4k resolution from Hikvision (G2), HIkvision DS-2DE4A425IW-DE with smart tracking and a few generic auto tracking ones which do work, but I wish for better night time tracking. I ordered OEM Dahua with auto tracking to try out, but is there any other options...

    DS-2DF5286-AEL - missing smart functions?

    That is "smart tracking". If you can go to smart events you can enable for each smart event type too in the last tab

    Replacement for ds-2de4a425iw-de with human detection?

    I have done that too but again I wish they would have updated cams with human tracking only. I have much cheaper camera I bought from AliExpress to try out and it works perfectly good to track only humans wish Hikvision would release new version.

    Replacement for ds-2de4a425iw-de with human detection?

    I have it next to my wide angle colorvue cam so they work together. It's not bad but colorvue detection is better.

    Replacement for ds-2de4a425iw-de with human detection?

    Yeah it's a great camera. Actually I like it more then a colorvue 4k I bought a while ago. I just wish it didn't track everything or had option for human only tracking

    Replacement for ds-2de4a425iw-de with human detection?

    I have ds-2de4a425iw-de and it's my favorite cam. 60 fps with 25x zoom and auto tracking is just awesome. Unfortunately it's an older cam and lacks human/car detection and as a result lots of false tracking of birds, leaves etc... I made it workable somewhat but wondering is there a newer one...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I noticed the same issue more bright flood lights are worse for camera then lower wattage side lights. I did turn on BLC to help this a bit.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes mounted just like that under soffit. I put a 1x4 plank between roof supporting 2x6 (not sure the right name for it)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes you need some light no magic here. I haven't tried built in light though just relying on street light. While picture is color and amazing I still prefer my other G2 IR cams in the back because they can work in total darkness with IR.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    For this particular case 2.8mm works good. For me it's useless. I would either capture a bush or a garage door.

    Are domes that bad for outdoor?

    I used to like turrets but they are pretty large for Hikvision at least. Mini bullets look better and less stand out

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Variable 8k. Haven't tried with constant. Btw I also got this ColorVu camera with 4mm lens from Ali Express seller. Its pricey but performance is worth it.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I can tell you that I have Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2/16P version for 5 years now. It handles now 6 4k Hikvision G2 cams, 1 Dahua 4k and couple 5MP cams. All record with at max fps 8mbps some motion only others always record. No issues. Hikvision keeps releasing updates. I don't see any reason to...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Are you relying entirely on built in leds or there is street lighting as well? In my testing with good street lights I can do 1/100 easily and no ghosting or blur. Not even using built in leds.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Is there comparable with Hikvision for about same price/performance?
