Does the Dahua PTZ have auto tracking of motion or is that dependant on the dvr/software?
Yes, I have zoom priority set as well. I also have settings for motion detection, so when the camera is sitting idle the ir can be at a programmed intensity and then when there's motion they come up to another brighter programmed intensity. The software control for ir is one of this cameras strong points. Even though I have zoom priority set, manual iris control at any time is very useful to fine tune the intensity on anything you're tracking- turning it down, lower, or brighter on the fly. It's slick for sure and one of the reasons I chose this camera because the ir control is sweet. Zoom priority on the dahua is fine and completely normal for most all ptz's. I have no problem with it. It's just this insun camera has extra control that is handy.Shock, that's not really on my wish list. The IR's are smart IR's, and they also are zoom priority so they go stronger or weaker according to how much your zoomed in or out. Does your PTZ automatically
have that feature?
They have one model that is auto tracking I believe. You pay extra for that. There might be software that could get any of the ptz's to autotrack though.
