Has anyone reviewed the Hikvision PTZ's DS-2DE7A220MCG-EB and DS-2DE7A412MCG-EB?

Hey Folks,

I'm still looking for a replacement of my old reolink RLC-423 and was searching the forums for mention of the new hikvision ptzs. Both appear to have 1/1.8 sensors with one variant being 2MP and the other 4.

2 MP 20 × Network Speed Dome

Hikvision DS-2DE7A220MCG-EB 2 MP 20 × Network Speed Dome adopts 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS chip. With the 20 × optical zoom lens, the camera offers more details over expansive areas. This series of cameras can be widely used for wide ranges of high-definition, such as the rivers, roads...

4 MP 12 × Network Speed Dome

Hikvision DS-2DE7A412MCG-EB 4 MP 12 × Network Speed Dome adopts 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS chip. With the 12 × optical zoom lens, the camera offers more details over expansive areas. This series of cameras can be widely used for wide ranges of high-definition, such as the rivers, roads...

Would be curious as to how they compare to the EmpireTech SD5A425GA-HNR:

In addition, has anyone had any experience installing these under soffit? Attached is a picture of my current cam location and these cams add an additional 3 inches of width and 6 of height. So, are quite larger.

Thanks!

Just got to be careful of IR or light reflecting back into the lens from under the soffit, your probably already aware of that though if replacing an existing PTZ. The cameras in question look great - DVS has a youtube video on these. Choose the 2MP 20X if covering long distance, 4MP 12X will be better for shorter ranges.
