PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

I've hit a snag updating mine with the new FW as I'm shut out of the VPN, :rolleyes: hopefully I'll get that fixed this evening

I’m having technical issues again today but quick review it doesn’t seem to be tracking vehicles as much if at all.

More as I get things sorted with that router this week

With Andy's new FW I'm seeing good improvement.

Far fewer cars being tracked, not a single garbage can so far (crossing fingers)
And human tracking is improved.

Is it as good as my SD6 series? No. But again it's 1/2 the price. I'd call it acceptable now (with just 2 days testing so reserve the right to comeback if I see anything really messed up)

*Had to go to 60 on Tracking ratio


Good human tracking even with obstacles. Clear improvement

Still picks up some vehicles, not as many. Room for improvement

Most impressive human capture
-Low light
-Dark subject, low contrast
-This is at far reach about 400ft
-This specific scene previously was very bad for this camera. It used to pick up trash can, miss human, trigger but not find human, pick up car.

It really WANTS to track that trash can but so far hasn't.

Let this thread serve as a reminder to any NOOB PTZ owners that they are not plug-n-play cameras!

Even the long time autotracking PTZ users spend lots of time setting up a new PTZ.
