Feel free to reach out to me with your current 5442 settings and I can comment back. Although the lighting from your screen grab looks ok that depends on what your exposure settings look like to get that image vs 'real' light. Also remember you are using a fixed lens cam there (in screenshot at least) and PTZ's will use a vari so you will see an f stop range of 1.6 to 4.0 on the 5A425 vs constant 1.6 on the fixed 5442. Also as @wittaj mentioned you would absolutely want to install the PTZ higher, I advise in the 12' to 20' range all depending on your location, required FOV, security needs etc. HTHhaving never owned a PTZ before...I am contemplating this SD5A425 or the SD49225XA.
I know lighting is important between 4mp vs 2mp for 3am shots.
How would either of the two PTZ camera's handle images from the pic below? I have not looked too deeply into PTZ installations yet, what is the recommended height of a PTZ? I have some of my 5442's at the 6' height to catch faces.
I am pretty sure if the SD5A425 4MP camera follows my 4mp 5442's, full color mode in this lighting environment would be possible.

I want to install SD5A425XA-HNR in X spot. 5 meters hight, 3-4 meters from from low fence and public side walk/street.Best to post a picture of what you intend to use it for .
Is there any other PTZ with AI and auto track which are less recognizable as PTZ (looks different, more like typical IPC, not like typical PTZ).IMHO you would see the optics ( Front Lens ) from that height but with that particular camera having and all black face it would make it harder to see.

Can You put some pictures how exactly this PTZ looks outside from 5 meters?I agree - you would definitely see it, but the design of the actual PTZ part would make it harder for people to see it following them. But people are also oblivious and most do not notice mine.
