I'm looking to add a new camera to my fleet;
3 * DS-2CD2132-I (dome)
1 * DS-2CD2132F-IS (dome - flash/sound)
1 * DS-2CD2432F-IW (internal cube - flash/W?)
1 * DS-2DE4A220IW-DE (Mini PTZ with smart tracking)
I have narrowed down what I want quite specifically. I love the Mini PTZ with smart tracking, but I need the new cam to have shorter than 4.8mm lens. Also, IR is not required as ambient lighting is sufficient for 24/7 day mode operation.
- Less than 4.8mm lens (90° Viewing angle minimum)
- Some optical zoom capability
- Auto/smart-tracking (as per DS-2DE4A220IW-DE)
- 0.05 lux colour for 24/7 day-mode operation
- IR optional
Looking at the product listing on Hikvision's website, a few cameras seem to fit the bill;
DS-2DE4A204IW-DE - The main contender as I see it. Best night performance. Unknown auto-tracking support.
DS-2DE3204W-DE - 105° angle but not Darkfighter as above. Non-IR.
DS-2DE3304W-DE - Although I love this cameras specs, including 105° viewing angle, it is proven to not have auto-tracking capability.
So the burning question for me is, does all of the 4A line have auto-tracking?
