That's just the outer sheath protecting the inner important cables and if it works as it should I wouldn't worry about that to be honest.
Pardon my OCD, but are these crease lines on the cable normal? View attachment 54600
Awesome, thank you for confirming that. I've seen similar creases (but obviously a lot smaller in extent) on the smaller turrets. I'm going to have to get used to this PTZ size. Its a lot bigger than what I was expecting; glad that I didn't order the 5"-inch model, lol
Hahah if you think that’s big you should see the Hunters and Ultras they give your arms a workout.
Take your time, bench test, mount and install correctly and make sure to configure properly. Then enjoy !
Those models would have exceeded my budget by four-fold, haha
Has anyone tried the new 32x?
it is the same size.
That is indeed impressive. Looks like a lot of setup work, though. (Perhaps not so bad once you've done it once or twice.) And y'know what: If the camera had originally been sold w/o AT, and I hadn't seen the problems I've seen reported here: I might be seriously entertaining acquiring one. (In fact I briefly considered asking for one for my birthday.)Unfortunately this was a surprise to us all including Andy. Just remember as I’ve shared above, @GuitarKin too that using IVS triggers and presets or even PTZ activation allows you to accomplish similar (albeit no ‘tracking’) and impressive results ...
I know Reolink isn't much respected around here, but I gotta tell y'all: My Reolink C1 Pro, for which I paid all of $85 a little over two years ago, has endured all kinds of light abuse--incl. being jostled; being interrupted during POST; installed, un-installed, packed away, and reinstalled at least four times, etc. It's PTZ has never given me a moment's trouble. The video quality on my five 2mp Dahua cams (four varifocals and a fixed) is much better, but they cost 1-1/2 to 2 times as much, so I'd certainly hope they'd have something over the Reolink.Yes as I mentioned a few posts ago, definitely a PTZ can be jostled, mis-aligned etc when on power, cutting power mid movement, moving to final position, in transit, when mounting etc and ... I recommend people be cautious of and plan for when testing and installing a PTZ.
I'm not writing this camera off for that, per se. I'm writing it off for Dahua doing the worst kind of bait-and-switch - selling something with a feature, then removing that feature after the fact, and for what sounds to me, from what I'm reading here, like build quality I feel unacceptable for a $360+ cam.Well as I mentioned above, I wouldn’t right any PTZ off just for Auto Tracking because using the IVS triggers, MD, PTZ activation etc you can end up with a more rock solid capture setup anyway.
Saw the Loryta. Wasn't sure about it or who it is sent from. Very curious to see how it works out.
Is that still the case after all these months that passed?I went with the 25x because from what I've read, it seems that at higher zoom level, there is an issue with autofocus not properly working resulting in a blurred out image

When did the 32x come out? I thought the 32x was brand new. Is this the model you are referencing?
It was also mentioned with above model? I could not find it anywhere on forum except here but no mention of issues.It seems to be an issue that is also prevalent on the ultra-zoom 5.3mm-64mm 2mp Bullet cameras as per those discussions; there have been multiple attempts to resolve this via firmware updates
I haven't heard anything relating to autofocus on the 25x PTZ
Looks like it was in reference to the SD49225T older model; not sure if it is necessarily applicable to this AI modelIt was also mentioned with above model? I could not find it anywhere on forum except here but no mention of issues.

It’s almost double the price it seemsI will try out SD59232XA-HNR and ask Andy if there are any issues and report back.
