SD1A404XB-GNR have more stocks on the way, will have the sales price if can buy just buy it, will ship out at early June.
The SD4A425 one no problem. What you see on amazon is different than what we see at their back platform

Any recommended BI PTZ settings to make the control more fluid like the SD49225XA? I've set the PTZ profile to Dahua new V4 and it works, but controls feel delayed and aren't precise like the SD49225XA. Tapping PTZ movement makes the smallest adjustment for the mini, while pressing and holding a pan makes it overshoot my objective.
For my SD49225XA, I left it on ONVIF PTZ profile and tried that without success on this mini ptz.

Adjust the PTZ "speed" in either BI or in the Cams GUI.

Just had to brag, dark rainy night running 1/250 just so the camera has enough light to focus, HLR at 75, had to dial Gain, Brightness, Gamma back to keep from white out.. getting there! Impressive little package this PTZ

Just check there is only 9pcs left, so Wednesday sold 9pcs at the memorial Day sales.

IMHO it will need the "right" size sensor.

Beat me to it.
If they made it in 8MP and put a 1/1.8 sensor in it it won’t be any better than the 4MP with the 1/2.8 it has.
For running color at night
4MP cameras need a 1/1.8 sensor
8MP cameras need a 1/1.2 sensor
They’re putting 1/2.8 sensors in most 4MP cameras apparently for cost but likely more importantly to be able to upsell to one’s with the right sensor (5442 series for example)

Just look how bad the 8MP TIOC is at night. Practically unusable without a lot of ambient light even in IR mode.
I would pay more for this cam if it was 4MP on the 1/1.8" sensor.
I really want to buy this cam. I need to try one out to see if it will be OK in color at night in the proper places. I would grab one right now, but I will not be in town for several weeks. Timing has sucked for me on these sales.
If this cam works for me, I would pick up 2-4 more. But...

Got my SD4A425DB-HNY from the Memorial Day sale and installed it today. Picture is excellent, the cam's size is not too obtrusive and I'm looking forward to getting things dialed in for autotracking and trying some LPR!
I'm already running into a hiccup though, and I think it's browser-related. When I start drawing IVS lines, I get about two clicks in and then my browser console starts throwing javascript errors. This is with the new web interface, not the older one like on my 5442's.
I don't have a PC in the house so I don't have access to Internet Explorer. Is there a preferred Mac-based browser that is known to work with these cams? I'm a web developer by trade so it's a little frustrating to run into web-based problems like this in 2023 and to have to use an obsoleted browser to configure them... Firefox, Chrome, and Edge (Mac) all have the same issue.
