I have the DS-2DE4A425IW-DE and have ZERO tracking issues. I also think it performs amazingly well at night too. In my opinion it's a great PTZ for its price. The only IR issue I had was when it was mounted close under my white soffit. I added the mount to it and have no IR glare at all. I highly suggest it for anyone that wants a Hikvision PTZ.
Another example. No obstacles in the foreground. The Hikvision did it perfectly of course and it DID have the mailbox in front of the car.
I have many fixed cameras and that is a complete hack. It will get a camera pointed in a specific direction, but it won't get the kind of tracking I need that I already get with my two Hikvision cameras.
I'm boxing this one up tomorrow to send it back and will get the DS-2DE4A425IW-DE.
I think the Hikvision's firmware is more polished than Dahua's, there is no doubt about that 
I look forward to your review of the Hikvision model

Can anyone who has the Dahua tracking well post their firmware? I'm wondering if I have bad build at the time of manufacturing. Maybe I need to upgrade?
My current firmware is:
Device Type DH-SD59225U-HNI
System Version V2.800.0000000.5.R.E4.2512.3S.NR, Build Date: 2019-08-27
WEB Version V3.2.1.780791
PTZ Version V2.301.0000000.22.RHNT_190923_33333

PTZ Version V2.301.0000000.22.RHNT_190923_33333
Switched over to using global tracking but it made no difference. Might even be worse. 40+ examples just like this:

The Sunba Illuminati has been getting good reviews on its tracking. I was just watching a review video when I realized all the menus are actually Hikvision menus rebranded to Sunba!!!!!
The video shows a quick walk through of all the menus and they are identical to my Hikvision cameras.

That 25% quote from me was only an hour or so after I got it installed. It's really more like 10%.
The Sunba will be here Friday. I'll mount it in the same place the Dahua is now and compare it to the genuine Hikvision. The Hikvisions I have currently I bought two years ago this month but they were already two year old models when I bought them so they've got 4 year old tech in them. Hopefully the Sunba's have faster newer processors.

Which might not actually be a good thing if they broke something with the last update.
I will. I realize I'm in a possibly unique position of having two mounting spots so close together that I can make direct comparisons between two cameras on the same subjects.

I know, that Andy posted a 2019 firmware a while back, that had some bug(s) and he pulled it off. Maybe you have that version installed?!
It was posted, at the vendor section under Empiretech. See if you have the same firmware, or not.
I would try installing the once from Dahua. They are 2018 cam fw, and 2017 ptz fw. With these, you will need the Chrome plugin.
I personally haven't played much with these features much yet. Busy with other stuff.
