Hi,
I'm looking at purchasing a PTZ camera (such as the DH-SD49225T-HN or DH-SD59230U-HNI, but I'm flexible) with the ability to track to a location(s) based on existing sensors around my property.
I'm not sure if this is possible and whether the above (or other cameras) support such a thing, so would appreciate some advice.
What I have is several sensors (4) around the perimeter of the property which communicate wirelessly with a base station (in the house) that has NO/NC relay outputs. What I was hoping to achieve is that when one of these sensors trigger and the respective relay is closed, I could communicate this to the camera somehow to tell it to track to a configured location. Auto-tracking from this point would be nice but not essential.
The camera would be installed outside with POE only.
I'm not averse to engineering a solution (e.g. using a Raspberry Pi or similar) if required. I currently have the alarm base station outputs connected to a Raspberry Pi for the purpose of recording events and sending notifications to my phone.
Appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks!
