its far better than the mini-ptz it replaced, I think its actually smaller.. its a ton faster, I love the alarm inputs.. even without IR its giving me alot better images both day and night (I desperately needed WDR in this location) and I never find my self in want of more zoom, where I was running the 4x zoom on the Mini @ MAX almost always.
Autotracking goes stupid every once and a while, but luckilly the alarm IO takes precedence and someone opening a door, ringing the
doorbell or stepping on my pressure mat will force it to the wide preset regardless where it was looking before.. without this I'd probably disable autotracking.. Right now the biggest issue w/autotracking is it wont always land back on the preset, it dont loose it.. it just gets to like 98% there and stops, if you press it again it'll move the last bit and go right back where it should be.. but because its not landing on the preset, its not activating the IVS rules for that preset, and thus when it tries to go back to normal after an activity it can get stuck and wont do any more smart tracking until something moves it again.. I'm hoping a PTZ Firmware fixes this problem, it knows its not at the right spot by evidence that the IVS rules wont activate.
Its not flagging anything on my NVR when IVS is triggered, it does for the alarm IO but not IVS.. so thats making it a PITA to go through and see how well or poorly the tuning is on tracking and scrubbing activity for something that happened at night I have to do on other cameras.
When I get a firmware that fixes those issues; this camera will be pretty much perfect for what I wanted out of it.
