Very pleased with this PTZ's auto-tracking abilities and need some tips on how to improve settings for night time video. Here is recording with Default settings with screenshots of Image & Exposure settings.

At the end of the day its a 4MP camera on a too small sensor (1/2.8") but really not bad at all for "Auto" settings.

I was surprised there was very little blur on Auto, you must have good ambient light.

Try 1/160 or better 1/120 manual exposure at night, may get a bit crisper image. Back off DNR to 35-40

Why is the video only in 1080P?

What is your bitrate?
