billycar 0 Posted September 8, 2020 Please discuss this type camera. I want PTZ that possibly tracks people, as a troublesome neighbor needs to be "watched". An SD card capability seems good, and a POE connection is best for my needs. 30fps needed? New to the scene ...

tomcctv 190 Posted September 8, 2020 Hi. Your link does not show a tracking ptz however it does have motion detection which is useless on a ptz just like a ptz with a microphone motion detection will only work if your ptz stays static then it will do motion but if you put presets into the ptz ....... every time the camera moves you will get a useless alarm ptz audio ........ built in microphone on a standard fixed camera is good on a ptz all your going to hear is two motors as ptz moves also making audio useless unless it stays static ...... so you may as well just buy 2 ptz cameras with the right size lens anything that uses the HIsee app is junk just like the app ..... and it does not work on new iPhones 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billycar 0 Posted September 8, 2020 I know there's a lot out there ... Can you help narrow it down? - feel like I want ptz tracking of people on/off - SD card capable - POE - sound recording / not broadcasting - Outdoors waterproofed weather resistant - 8MP maybe 20x capable zoom, since I enjoy clarity of photographs - NVR capable at a future date - nighttime clarity Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted September 8, 2020 Hi. 8mp and tracking is going to be a big budget. Something like the dahua auto track ptz SD cards in a 8mp ptz is pointless as you would fill it every day you are best going back direct to a nvr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billycar 0 Posted September 8, 2020 The Dahuas are expensive ... So perhaps backing down to 4mp? I read 5mp changes ratio of sensor size. May not be a good idea for view range? Also be good to have it vandal tough ... I've been shot at twice (probably an airgun type) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
