@aabs yes as mentioned in this thread idle motion does work. If you still see this issue then try a factory default on the cam and worst case the NVR but just the cam reset should do it for you. @jmcu was using 3/10 FW as well. Will also reply to your DM if you need anything else

HTH
Factory Reset did not work. Camera remains parked in preset 2 when triggered by spotter cam.
judging by @jmcu comments it looks like its been a legacy issue hence the work around he has identified but thats certainly not a fix :blankstare:

@aabs if you are using Timed Tasks (Tour for example) this will bring the cam back inline with the tour after a spotter has pulled to preset so that assists too.

I believe so, as indictated by jmcu a while back but what is being done to rectify the idle bug?
 
I’m going to check this on a couple of different model units I have access to, see if I can replicate in different scenarios. If it works for me then will share, if doesn’t work then will look to see if a bug was ever filed.

Either way as I mentioned there are workarounds if you are seeing this issue to bring your cam back to Tour or defined Preset (depending on your setup) using timed tasks for now. If you’ve not used timed tasks definitely check out using them as they can be very powerful and a great addition to any config.

Personally I utilize these in most triangulated or quad based coverage environments that I use PTZ activation in

@kabar

Where did you purchase from ? If you have a non native Auto Tracking version then you would generally go to your dealer/distributor to request the custom firmware that Dahua made available to them.

I Don't have auto tracking on sd49225xa. Can you help me? :(

I bought 2 from a distributor. one has auto tracking and the other does not. I contacted the distributor and it is not possible to help me :( I don't know what to do.No one can help: (((
 
Now be careful while handling that could easily fall off a ladder if loose balance
when I got the box, I was worried the mount wasn't included--- it was in there. I have to consider exact placement yet...
 
Mine should be at my house any minute now. I'm at work, hrrr. The 59225 is a bit bigger and heavier camera, right?
 
Here is mine as well.
Thank you Andy. Very fast shipment to LA.

Question--- the menu system has "human" and "automobile" detection and tracking. If a car pulls in the driveway and parks, will the camera detect and switch target / tracking to the human getting out of the car instead of the motionless car?

@Wildcat_1 -- your pic shows your mount combo on the exterior siding.

It looks like it is flush mounted-- should it technically be "shimmed" to be plumbed true vertically? Does it matter?

I am wondering about using something like this or a home-made variation to counter the angle of the siding...

It's a PTZ, it will not matter.

Here is one with a low profile soffit mount

Great looking install man--- you have a vertical orientation built-in with that mounting solution.
I can not use my soffit for this-- My soffit is flimsy aluminum with nothing above it and no easy way to secure anything, so I have to mount to the siding. I am wondering about the impact of that backwards tilt.
 
Any PTZ camera should be mounted plumb and true. It will NOT switch objects as you wanted until it returns to preset and tracks the moving object again.
