I see no reason why not. If fact in the end I wound up using that mount on my big DS-SD8A820WA-HNF 4K PTZ camera.

If you can wait a couple of weeks maybe we will have some video to post. On paper I know which one I would buy going by the results of my IPC-B5442E-Z4E cameras .
Here is a night time picture.

I can have it delivered next working day here in UK
Both have similar specs and a 1/2.8" STARVIS™ CMOS sensor if anything the 59232XA looks better on paper even though the 5A425XA looks nice I am leaning towards the SD59232XA because of the better specs and much higher bitrate.

The SD5A425A-HNR is a 4 MP camera with the 1/1.8" sensor. The Lux specifications are better than the other two which have the 1/2.8" sensor.
We will see them soon later this month. Shipping speed is really slow these days.

I did not realise the sensors was different, well spotted my bad, the SD5A425A-HNR has Starlight + I see which will be very good in low light to good light.. it's around £700 here in the UK - GULP

I've been waiting for this one too - really happy with the same size sensor in the HK turret I put up recently.
My 59225 is quite noisy (much more than the 1A225) so hoping these new ones will be quieter. Half of me is thinking the 4 series will probably do what I need but the quality of these bigger sensors is great.

The 4 series is very quiet, but when its cold, the noise is a little more noticeable. Wonder if the belts need lube overtime. I doubt it, nothing in the manual states otherwise

I thought I would send my supplier here in the UK an Email asking for a price on this camera and received the below back.
Not sure if it is worth the extra over the SD49A225 especially if you have good street lighting.
Description:Quotation
SD5A425XA-HNR
Subtotal: 556.75 GBP
Total VAT Amount: 111.35
GBP Total Amount: 668.10 GBP
3 year Warranty

The extra megapixels will give better detail. Plus the larger sensor will admit more light in when the sun goes down.

On paper it looks very promising and looking forward to your first night video's. When are you expecting delivery?

I am hoping sometime next week. Maybe the end of the next week. The camera is still in China and has not made it's way to Hong Kong where it will depart for the USA.

That's a lot earlier than me ordering from my supplier here in UK as it is a special order 6-8 weeks 
Ordering directly from China has its perks

Andy had previously ordered 3 or 4 of these cameras. I had puts dibs on one of them. When they came in I made the payment through PayPal. The problem these days is the slow shipping out of China. It is taking 2-3 times as long as in the past. Andy may have sold them all, but I do not know that for sure. The only way to know is to ask him.

I'm in no rush whatsoever mate and will wait until you receive your camera as it's a camera I've been very interested in this particular Camera since the beginning of the year and have a feeling it will become KING of the PTZ.
