Whelp, I'm a freshy Dahua owner trying to figure thisi all out. from what I can tell you seem to be the expert.
PTZ1A225-HNR-XA -- Am I understanding this correctly... The only way you can do auto track is when it' in tour mode and you have configured an IVS rule to trigger autotracking? Am I not supposed to have the live AI tab? It's really hard as a new person to this to begin to understand this. . I have some serious experience with IT and could trade networking\storage\server assistance in exchange for a brain dump or good pointer finger towards a well written page. I've spent the last week sort of cruising these forums and I still feel very confused. I've ended up having to flash my camera twice from a chip clip.. I am glad that they are so easily fixable.
My email is [email protected]. I would say that I could contribute 10 genuine posts to the forum instead of begging my first one... but it would be disingenuous. I would end up just closing my eyes picking a random link and just wordvomiting onto a couple posts. I don't know if I will really be sticking around much. I am planning on replacing the CCD in my system with a MUCH nicer one.. I really only bought it for the chassis, I can promise that in the next ~3 months when I have the money together for an 8mp I will create a post showing step my step pictures of creating a Frankenstein wall-e camera on here. if you could provide some pointers .ect
Thanks,

No the PTZ does not need to be in tour mode. In fact you don't want to because they are only rated for so many cycles and you could hit that in two years on constant patrol.
Yes you need IVS. Here is the quick and dirty:
You need to set up a preset.
Then you need to set-up the Smart Plan with Deep IVS for the presets you want to track.
Then select the object filters you want.
Then go to Deep IVS Rules Config page and you should see Track Time under alarm and Tracking Target size slider.
When setting up IVS rules, I strongly recommend you use intrusion box with appears and crosses instead of tripwire. And less is more. One IVS rule.
Leave min size as 0,0
Make sure that Motion Detection and Smart Motion Detection are turned off.
I repeat, make sure Motion Detection and Smart Motion Detection are turned off LOL.
And then follow this thread on how to setup spotter cams if you have enough cameras and the system to do so, which is superior to the PTZ being on patrol:
Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris
We get this question from time to time, so I thought with the recent addition to BI, it made sense to have a thread we can point to. Previously in BI, if you had more than one spotter cam, you could not make one a priority, so if spotter cam #1 triggered the PTZ and it starts tracking and...
