Is There A Newer Version Of The IPC-A46

[Baubas]

Looking for the best table top cam for indoor use with auto tracking that works with Blue Iris. I know the IPC-A46 fits all this but it seems to be a little long in the tooth (3+ years old). Is there a better option?

I suggest you consider the Dahua-built Amcrest IP2M-841W-V3 .

The version 3 provides AI/auto tracking of moving objects. It is ONVIF compatible, provides RTSP, is 1080p, IR, 2-way audio plus mike in/speaker out, has pan/tilt/digital zoom, record to micro SD card, wired or wireless and has alarm in/out, great with Blue Iris, VLC, etc. Comes with wall/ceiling mount, 1/4"-20 tripod mount female insert on bottom.

I've installed 4 of the similar non-V3 versions and 3 of it's lower-res (720p) cousins in the last 3 years and all have functioned with no hiccups.

I have also set one up with Tinycam Pro on a Sony smart TV (Android).

EDIT 4/1/21: V3 does NOT provide relay I/O nor jacks for an external mic and speaker.
