Now that's a security camera

While it is a nice camera, you can get two or three PTZ cameras for a similar price, and they can auto-track. Don't get me wrong; it's a very nice setup. I have one, and I believe another member, besides myself, has also acquired one. However, you can achieve good enough with many fixed cameras or multiple PTZ cameras when dialed in properly.

Can Likely buy multiple PTZ like these for the price..


or

 
I want to say those have been around for 6-8 years. Impressive what they can do with so little light

What's your usecase for it? What setup challenge pushed you to acquire such a full frame camera vs any of those good PTZs?

For me, the reason was really that I wanted to get one. Also, I got it a while back, and some of those PTZ cameras with larger sensors were not even available when I purchased the Sony.

I have the Sony paired with a large sensor PTZ, so while the PTZ tracks, the Sony serves as a fixed camera.

Additionally, I am probably going to add another larger sensor PTZ soon to enhance tracking, especially at night. I want to have them crisscrossing directions with 2-3 cameras so that vehicles approaching from the left or right are captured in great detail.

That is quite the camera list looking at your setup.

Someone here once mentioned that cameras multiply like rabbits, and I must say, that is so true! :lmao:
 
That camera has been mentioned before here on IPCT.
