I am looking at the SD5A425GA-HNR PTZ camera and want to connect it to my Synology DS1821 with Surveillance Station. Has anyone done this? I plan on powering it with a good brand name switch that has POE+ power capability. Is this $750 PTZ camera a good match for an installation like this?

TIA,
Sid
 
Yes I have one install with this configuration and it works fine.

The only issue is with newer firmware, SMD: vehicle does not appear as an option for dahua cameras so you will have to use IVs for motion detection.
