Which camera is better

David Andrews said:

Looking at 2 annke (hikvision) cameras. Which camera would you say is a better product. Camera will be mounted on the house over the drive. Both cameras are priced pretty much the same. They both do auto tracking which I want.

Thanks

Post the detailed specs, including specs on the sensors ..

I see them priced at $599 and $1299 respectively. The $1299. CZ825x is similar to the
EmpireTech PTZ5A4M-25X 1/1.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight IR 5.4mm–135mm Vari-Focal PTZ Camera
which sells for $750.49

I have no experience with the dual lens cameras.
Which Hikvision PTZ do you have now or had in the past?

note Text as well as images often is very useful when asking questions on recommendations

4MP vs 4K on the main sensors, check the sensor size.
