KInda like how if someone doesn't change a timing belt and it snaps and blows out the car engine from the belt recoil at high speeds LOL.
I assume it is the same sort of thing - a piece of the mechanical movement operation snaps and then could make the camera completely inoperable.
To be clear, you still have manual movement operation (until said mechanical piece breaks and destroys the insides) it is that the camera prevents autotracking as a self-preservation mechanism.
And no a factory reset does not restore usability, just like how unplugging your car battery doesn't reset your auto mileage LOL.
Someone here claims to have cracked the internal code and reset theirs, but won't share it LOL.
But to be clear, most of us will replace a camera due to better technology or the camera actually fails like due to a lightning strike or someone didn't properly waterproof and the connection got water and fried it than before we see this limit.
But like anything we buy it will break at some point.
And at the end of the day we are not their intended client or customer base, so they are going to design their stuff around the needs of their intended base and apparently their base isn't buying sub $1,000 PTZs and spinning them like a top 24/7 LOL. If you want that ability move up to the $10k+ models LOL.
Of all the thousands sold, we have only seen like 2 or 3 hit that limit because they were running it in 24/7 scanning mode. The rest of us they are still going strong or the PTZ has already been replaced with a newer model LOL.
