@ljw2k to clarify, my understanding and testing right now leads me to the conclusion that if you have a 49225 that supports Auto Tracking today, that WON’T disappear (believe yours has AT today) so no worries on that part, only new purchases run the risk and as I mentioned I want to try flashing a new unit back to see if that helps (albeit as mentioned above, I am doubtful as I believe this new change is build date/HW focused).
If you want to stay with Dahua cams then the 59xx models I listed above would be the new 2MP & 4MP equivalents in the Pro range and do feature Auto Tracking, Deep IVS & the new SMD Plus as part of their Pro AI alignment.
On any returns or issues with a purchase definitely recommend reaching out to Andy directly with a DM as he gets mentioned in so many threads it can sometimes be hard to keep track. I do know he is keeping his eye on the ball regarding this change as well and working hard (as always) to get as much info as he can.
I will also continue to update on testing I do on this model regarding any findings.

Very disappointing @ Dahua
@Andy As the camera I purchased as a Ai camera does not now or in the future allow AT is no good to me sorry,even more worrying the hardware failure of the PTZ Mechanism I have had since Day1. I would like you to send me a return label to return the camera back.
If you are saying the AT features and AI will only be on the more expensive models then I will have to look into purchasing one of these instead or changing brands completly.
