Looking for recommendations for a PTZ Camera preferably with Auto-Tracking

Hey guys, This is my first post here on IP Cam Talk. This place seems like the go-to place for security cameras. For the past few years I have been using the Ubiquity G3 cameras at my home and have been OK happy with them. The picture quality is very so-so and in my experience the NVR software can be a real PITA. I built my own NVR on a hyper-v server and it hosts the Unifi Video instance and can host any additional cameras / software. I cam across the auto-tracking feature on a random YouTube video I was watching and I was hooked! PTZ + Auto-tracking seemed like such a cool combo. I am now looking into adding a PTZ cam to my house (1 to start out with and maybe replace the Ubiquity cameras with PTZ's as time goes on). I am not familiar with the best brands and quality so this is where I can use your help. Heres a list of preferred specs: PTZ with auto-tracking zoom more than 4x (I have seen 20x zoom pretty commonly but im not married to 20x at all, just something more than 4) Ceiling Mount. This camera will be mounted to the eve of my roof so id prefer it be a dome style camera as opposed to a pole mount. I dont have a particular price in mind. I dont want to spend money unnecessarily but I do want a good quality camera. Im a buy nice or buy twice kind of guy. MUCH prefer it to have POE Please let me know if you need any more info! Thanks in advance! JM
