I wish to purchase a Hikvision IP Auto Tracking camera

[Chas]

I have had a bad experience with my Dahua IP Auto tracking camera (Great to follow people but not cars) & wish to try a Hikvision Auto Tracking camera hopefully under a thousand dollars Au, Can anybody suggest a model that will give me good Auto Tracking cars.

I notice in my search some manufacturers claim their camera "Auto Track" others say "Auto Scan", is SCAN & TRACK the same.?
Thanks for any help

It's the same bullshit. In 5-years it will probably be a functional technology. Now?

I agree, but I have 8 x fixed SDI cameras & looking for just one Auto Tracking camera, hopefully the Hikvision can do car chasing slightly better than my Dahua, you may be right about your 5 years but I will be heading towards 90Yo & I am not sure if I will be around then, (just slightly better will do).

Sorry @Chas...I don't know enough about auto-tracking to provide you with any useful information other than what I previously wrote. Does your use case absolutely require auto-tracking? Perhaps you might get by with multiple fixed cameras instead?

I really require a reliable Auto Tracking IP Camera I have had a Dahua & another Chinese Auto Tracking IP Camera, I am hoping to find someone out there that has owned both "Hikvision Auto Tracking IP camera Dahua IP Auto Tracking camera, & hope may be able to inform me if the Hikvision was better for tracking moving cars".

I also mentioned before some manufacturers claim their camera "Auto Track" others say "Auto Scan", is SCAN & TRACK the same? can any body answer if the same or different.? I don't want to spend a thousand dollars on a Auto Scan & find out that Auto Scan means something different to Auto Tracking? As I have owned 2 Auto Tracking cameras & carry out Auto Tracking as I know it, I am nervous & asking is Auto Scan mean a different function?

Thanks for any help

Trust me you dont need auto tracking. Its a gimmick. What you need is multiple fixed cameras that can monitor the entire area 24/7

I agree & is the reason I have 8 x SDI fixed cameras around my property, I have a situation that Auto-tracking may help & searching for the best of the worse..
