Few questions:

1. Will this camera be able to track big raccoons, squirrels, or neighbors on the other side of the fence trying to cut down your trees? Say 20-ft away ?
2. Also, will the auto-tracking work at night time with IR on?
3. Is it easy to quickly turn off auto-tracking from phone app? or must go back into webGUI?

Thanks

Some have better success than others.. situation makes a big difference.. all I can do is show you some of my captures.. car headlights wreck havoc with tracking at night.. it tracks well at night otherwise.
I think you'd have to disable thru cameras web interface

Could you show me some footage? I'm thinking about getting one for my parent-in-law. They like to capture huge pesky creatures that roam through their yard and wreak havoc on their fruit trees.

For auto-tracking are you allowed to set sensitivity to how much large of the object is required before it will lock-on to that subject? Is there intensity and threshold setting? Could you post screenshot of autotracking setting from GUI?

Do you know if the auto tracking works when using synology surveillance station?
Auto tracking is built into the camera itself so you set the rules up in camera and then anything like the Synology which receives the video stream just records whatever the camera is tracking.

Excellent video.
I'm trying, but failing to do, what you did in that video.
When I hit Draw Rule, that message to draw, does not appear and I can't draw anything.
Do you know, what could be the problem?

It does not want to draw, but when I hit save, it prompts me to draw, but nothing shows up on the image. Most likely I'm doing something wrong.

This is off topic, but maybe you could help me with this as well.
At the bottom, of the multi window screen shows in red, that D: 180GB !! I have set the Limit size: 200GB and Limit clip age: 1 day.
Then Move to folder: Stored
I have a 6TB HDD.
