Recommendations for a wired,PTZ camera with auto tracking???

[PeteDD]

I am looking to replace my SV3C camera (see my separate post on them shipping cameras with known issues). Please recommend PTZ cameras with auto tracking that you have had good, real, experience with.
I will use Blue Iris with AI for humanoid triggering, but really like have auto-tracking.
Thanks!

Yikes on those prices ... but I bet they are great.

I guess we should ask what is your budget? There is a $400ish option as well

Well, It seemed that there were a lot of sub-$100 cameras that met the spec on paper but I am learning my lesson. Since I have four PTZ cameras (the four corners of my house), I was hoping to get the job done for under $500 but that might be unrealistic it seems.

You can get each camera done for under $500.

This hobby of ours disguised as perimeter security isn't cheap.

If a person have limited budget on buying cameras, it's understandable to get cheaper ones. We all want the best of the best, but sometimes we have other consideration and compromise on the requirements. But usually you get what you pay for.
