    Panoramic PTZ

    that's why I wanted the dual like this so I get the 180 and the spotter in one, Just debating between this one and the 25x one. Last question is when I add it to BlueIris Can I add it as 2 cameras the top 180 cam as 1 and the ptz as another?

    Panoramic PTZ

    Ideally I'll mount this on my porch under awning, how does autotracking work if 2 people are walking on sidewalk (30ft) away in opposite directions?

    PTZ4E25X-T180 Review

    Is there a model like this with a better sensor? I really like the 1 camera option but would like 1/8 or better if possible. If not can this model be setup with just a SD Card with alerts coming to phone?

    Upgrade Help

    Is there a dual cam that has IR? I saw the color one on empire but don't want to use bright lights. Would like a large 180 overview with IR if possible.

    Upgrade Help

    Is there a reason PTZ1A2M-25X isn't on the recommended list here (Study this)? and if anyone has this one what are the measurements for the mounting holes? I have a spot I need one but the PTZ1A2M looks way to big for that spot.

    Help me understand the difference between Face Detection and Face Recognition

    Is there much difference between the 5232EI and NVR8CH-AI? If I read correctly does or only support FD from 2 cameras? Are faces cropped or zoomed and cropped? I have a couple IPC-T54IR-ZE but will probably get 2 more.
