@rahhazar No this camera (5442) would not do that as that Sony camera in your video was in a different league and not necessarily a good one. Let me explain.
That video specifically features the Sony SNC-VM772R which was (now discontinued) a 20MP, 4K mini dome that used their ‘intelligent cropping’ to basically allow you to tap into up to 5 channel streams to provide either 1 x full 4K overview or 1x full HD with 4x VGA only cropped shots. That cam also offered selective encoding or otherwise known as ROI (Region of Interest) selection to ensure only the areas you care about are encoded in high quality. Their ‘evidence shot’ featured 2.5fps shots comprised of MJPEG caps. Was extremely expensive for a dime at around $2500 when first introduced and is part of the reason it didn’t sell well. This was a very niche product that these days a number of VMS or other NVR platforms can emulate features of by setting separate cam streams into individual channels etc.
In my opinion the VM772R it tried to be too much of many cams in 1 cam and therefore was a compromise of a product.
Personally if I wanted to mock up Sony’s solution to cover multiple areas within a large FOV like they always demoed with that cam, I would throw a Dahua Hunter (Pano+360 model) plus 1 fixed overview cam (if you wanted or really needed to add to the location) and build the final scene back in VMS. The Hunter gives you 8 areas of ROI selection (4 for Pano, 4 for PTZ). Would accomplish so much more (provides a full 360 for starters), real PTZ with better zoom and tracking, AI capabilities, while giving you the flexibility of choosing a specific 4K fixed cam to dial in exactly what you needed all with better resolution than the VGA crops and simulated tracking of the Sony. All for around the same price, $3k for Hunter solution with a fixed or vari 4K thrown in the mix. Just those alone would give you 1x Pano (featuring 8x2MP sensors), 1x PTZ (4MP) and a fixed or vari 4K (8MP). If you really wanted to go crazy then each of the cams I list also supports multi streams with the Hunter itself offering a selection of up to 6 streams all at up to 25/30fps. Much better solution and not the compromise that the Sony was.
Having said that, would I ever scope a 1 cam does everything solution ? Absolutely NOT. As people know from my posts I advocate for building a system with selection of cams by focal length, type (bullet can, turret. PTZ) specifically for your target zones, target types, FOV, lighting conditions and needs based on location and in the case of security related installs, threat assessment.
Longer post but HTH answers and give you some context on the Sony cam and ‘intelligent’ cropping. The only thing the Sony really had going for it was the size
On the topic of the 5442 however, great cam for what it is built to do.
Enjoy !
