@EMPIRETECANDY this looks smoother and better tracking than the big AI tracking ptz i purchased a while ago from you. Is there an update coming for the big AI tracking ptz you sell?
I'll definitely grab one of these mini ptz soon.

Yes, we will put the 4mp SD5A425GA-HNR (Next week will arrive in US), the 4K SD5A825GA-HNR will be ready to sell later Feb i think, booked some, will do some review on this 4K one.
Just an update on this camera from my point of view.
This camera has done wonderfully in the midwest winter. Handled -50f, winds, rain, sleet, snow, etc... all like a champ.
This ptz also tracks MUCH better than my 49225. The mini has newer algorithms, and I'm not sure what else, but the tracking is incredible.
The only two down sides for me, is the 1/2.8 4mp lens at night. The 2mp lens on the 49225 shows a better picture at night with little to no lighting. However, being that I have my mini over my driveway, the picture at night is still great.
The other is the dome can develop spots from sideways rain/snow/sleet. Hence, position this baby either in a area protected from the elements, or at least able to easily get to for cleaning.
The smaller fixture is also a definite bonus for me. While it's easy to see, if you're looking for cameras, the majority of people just aren't going to see the camera.
Overall, a great ptz, for the right conditions. As I mentioned in a earlier post, I'll most likely purchase another one this spring for porch coverage.

If it is not too much trouble, could you post a picture of the install over your garage? Like maybe a shot from the street?
Sure thing. Won't be until tomorrow though, going through crappy weather today.
Ok, got a break in the weather. 2 Pictures. One from the driveway, one from the street.
This is only a temporary installation. I wasn't entirely sure this is the final spot I wanted it, and it was too cold to do a final installation. Ignore the wire working, etc.. lol

WOOO, 5 cameras on the garage ， it's bit small size compare to other PTZ models.
Yes.. lol. 2 are the 5241 doing LPR duty, 2 are the 4k color doing great color 24/7.
1 of the 5241 will be replaced shortly with the 437 ANPR.
You got room for a few more cams there LOL. Gotta keep up with us Jones's LOL
I already get the stink eye from the boss lady. She doesn't know I'm getting the 437 ANPR, and I'm not entirely sure she has noticed the mini-ptz.
So in that regard. the mini-ptz is boss lady approved! lol

Thanks! I got bit by the mini-ptz bug and am trying to figure out just how to deploy one. One option is just as you have done. But I am concerned about a 4MP on the 1/2.8" sensor at night. If I can't keep it in color, then I really can't justify that puppie.
If you get another chance, post a night time capture?
I would like to think you have enough light....me not so much LOL.

Im thinking about one of these. I dont have the space here at the swamp like I had at my other home, and the thing is downright tiny
