Ok, I'll be "upgrading" some of my 5442's to dual sensors @EMPIRETECANDY
@Podagrower,
I read somewhere that they aren't making the 2MP PTZs anymore. So, to get the same low light performance with a 4MP version, you need one with a 1/1.8" sensor...And that's a pricey proposition (a quick search on the dahua site, I found one that looks to cost $1400). So, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a 2MP PTZ now. Because if he runs out and I can't get one on sale, I'll be paying the same price on sale for one that has poorer low light capability, like this guy with a 1/2.8" sensor:

Don't get me wrong, that camera is a fine one with more zoom than this guy:

But even on sale the 4MP one is more expensive than the 2MP one brand new. So, you are gambling if you are in the market for the low light performance of the 2MP one above.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, because I'm new to all this.
Hmmm, the autotracking still need to do the settings, not plug in and play. Here has a guide.I have the SD49225XA-HNR feeding into an Dahua 16 channel NVR. It's a very nice camera but the NVR does not recognize it as an auto-track camera. I have a number of hours on this system but don't see anyway to enable tracking when it's attached to my Dahua NVR. Maybe this feature is available thru a pc-based DVR software?
Anyone?

Thanks for the write up @wittaj . And thanks for the link @EMPIRETECANDY .
This is great timing because my 49225 came in yesterday. I ran a wire for it and am going to set it up today (BI computer came in and I need to transfer a HD to that PC from the nvr first.)
That camera is massive. I have a couple indoor cheapo ptz cameras and was blown away by how big this thing is in comparison. But I guess it has to be to be able to zoom so far and take in enough light.
Thanks, that's good to know. I've pinned IE to the taskbar:Yeah the 49225 is no kiddie consumer toy LOL.
The big thing about my write up above that is different for BI is make sure you set this camera up in Explorer - not Edge, not Chrome with the IE tab, but plain ole explorer baked into Win10. If you use any other web browser, the track time will revert to 15 seconds regardless of what you put in. Plus you may not see all the options available to you.
There is also a bug with BI and this camera. In the camera GUI make MD and SMD one little block and put it on a schedule with no time on it and make the sensitivity the least sensitive. For some reason BI will turn MD and SMD on and that was messing with a lot of people thinking the camera wasn't acting correctly. Just use IVS.
Thanks, that's good to know. I've pinned IE to the taskbar:

Any other reasons to be using IE to configure other cameras?

if a cam does 1mm - 50mm that's a 50x zoom
if a cam does 5mm - 50mm that's a 10x zoom
around 26ft.On the IPC-HUM8441-L1, how long is the wire from the lens to the main box?
Hey guys
Will get some refurbished list too this time, But with a small list.
