Review on Experience Unmatched Surveillance With IMPORX Auto Tracking PTZ IP Camera - 20X Optical Zoom, 3MP 2560X1440, Waterproof, 500Ft Night Vision, Motion Detection, And More! by Ben Dixon

UPDATE: 2 years and 6 months in it is still operational. Functions the same and no change in image quality. No new weird noises or anything.Pros:Price, build quality, image quality, includes auto tracking where other speed domes of similar price don't, like helicopter search light bright IR night vision.Cons:Large ( like a big white gallon jug), documentation, software, auto tracking function.Would be nice if it were half the size though this seems to be the going size for cameras of this spec. I may end up painting it to better blend in where it's mounted. The documentation is scarce and scattered in presentation. I got their phone viewing app to work but not sure on the PTZ function of it. It darts all over the place so it's hard to point it where you want to look with it. The computer software is an older version of Hikvision iVMS-4200 so I ended up removing it and loading the newest version from Hikvision which works fine with it. I was annoyed with documentation at that point so I just figured out on my own how to have the recordings saved on a computer separate from the one running the user interface. I also got iVMS-4500 on my phone which will play back the recordings saved on the iVMS-4200 storage server. The auto tracking works fairly well at detecting a walking human at about 50' and a vehicle out to 200'. What I don't like with the auto tracking is it doesn't lock onto a target, it'll switch to whatever in view interests it most at any given time. If it's tracking a person walking past a tree it'll switch to tracking the branches swaying in the wind. Or if a car drives by the person it'll start following the car instead. The other thing I don't like about the auto tracking is if it starts out at 1x zoom and detects a person at 75' away it starts tracking them and in slow increments zooms in. Basically they're gone before it gets past 4x of zoom which doesn't give much detail. Would be nice if it would more quickly zoom to fill the object of interest into view initially and then zoom in and out as needed while following the object. The IR is pretty impressive on this, there wasn't anything I looked at through it at night and wished for more output. I fully zoomed into a neighbor house about 450 feet away and there was enough IR to fully illuminate the front of their house and I could even see their refrigerator covered in magnets through the window. Hopefully it lasts a few years, the IR stays bright and improvements are made to the auto tracking function.
