    PTZ425DB-AT auto track help

    I cant seem to get auto tracking to work like I'm wanting. I have this camera mounted on a corner so it can see 270 degrees. I have home set as preset 1 and it will track anything that goes in that zone. I have the front of my yard as preset 2 and it will go to preset 2 with a spotter cam but...

    Would a T58IR work best here?

    I'm trying to get a camera to replace this one. I want one that can use the same view ( down just a bit) but have enough clarity to see the colors of the traffic lights. I get a ton of crashes here and that's the first thing the Cops ask, is if I can see the color of the lights. Would a T58IR...

    Hard drive recommendations

    It's been a while since I've bought hard drives. My last ones were a seagate enterprise and a wd purple. I think with all the AI on the camera now that it wouldn't matter so much on a specific surveillance drive as long as it can write fast enough and has a long endurance rating. I'm looking...
