and that was still a pretty ideal environment for such things, but exactly.. it can only track one thing at a time so its like having a guard dog thats too busy looking out the window at the squirrels to notice that someone is taking the sofa out the front door.

Haha, I'd still love to have a ptz or two, to play with in the neighborhood lol.

Identify the choke points, cover them properly for ID pictures (who), then add overview cams for situational awareness (what). Otherwise with a PTZ you'll be blind to the what while its little robot brain is locked on and zoomed into something that may or may not be important. That's fine in addition to proper and complete coverage with fixed cams but amateurish to rely on luck for the ID and miss the entire scene whenever there's even a bit of unimportant movement in the frame.

I Like the idea to be able to do such things for back garden where normally no one is, and that follow one single intruder next to overview camera.

In my example i have no choke point in the back garden, and the fence lenght on 3 sides is like 40 meters of 2 meter high fence. It would only be luck to have one or 2 cameras installed and hope someone steps in front of it.
So main idea is to split detection in parts (left, middle and right) and steer PTZ to it and if it than autotracks an object inside the garden an intruder will have to go to an door where a fixed camera is for more face detail.

So that 180 degree dahua seems a candidate,,lets hope nayr reviews it sometime.
Every fixed camera means a conduit, ethernet cable and mount otherwise, so like 100€ per position, going from 3 x the turret from this thread to one 180 degrees unit save 2x (160 + 100) = 320€ and than 160€ from the 3d camera makes 480€. That is close to the mentioned price of that 180 degree camera.

In that case one 2.8mm could probably cover an overview and then a few more zoomed in cameras along the back of the house in front of doors and windows.
 
Two questions

  1. The vendor shows only PAL version available, any issues with using that in the states or is it changeable in the software?
  2. The price now shows $170.99 so no need to PM correct?

Pal is an analog thing and just gives you up to 50fps, no issues with digital stuff

I see this camera has a Smart Detection supported (Facial/Tripwire/Intrusion/Audio) , but does that imply it will also provide notifications as well? email or other?

You can get email notifications; push notifications require a Dahua NVR.. I do not believe BlueIris can pickup on these events.
 
Good to hear. Getting ready to purchase it this week.
 
Great camera and review.

Does anyone know if the zoom and focus will be adjustable in Synology's Surveillance Station if setup via Onvif protocol?

its not a PTZ; I doubt zoom/focus are controllable via onvif.. SmartPSS wont even zoom/focus it w/the ptz controls.

testing a potential install location today, just a few feet off the ground.. was worried about the sun but its no problem apparently:

Wauw, Great picture. I really like this camera!
Thinking about buying one too. :)

I have a IPC-HDW4421C-A to monitor the front of my home, but this one is perfect no matter the weather condition.

I also don't think the zoom function can be controlled via surveillance station. I think I have to find it out myself. :p
