PTZ cam with 25x zoom for driveway

[mvanders]

I want to start by saying thanks to the group. I had a question earlier about a camera for a driveway and the overwhelming recommendation was for a IPC-B54IR-Z4E S3 . This was the perfect choice and has worked well. Additionally i am looking for a PTZ camera with tracking but in a smaller formfactor. I currently have a Ubiquiti unifi GTZ 6 which in ok at best, but has a great form factor. I am looking for recommendations for an IR PTZ cam that can to up to a 25x zoom but with the smallest footprint possible. This is a residence so not looking for a camera that belongs in a prison but more so something that is smaller an lend in. May be a unicorn but the group had great suggestions before, and hope you have some suggestions for this.
Thanks for your help.

Something like the mini-ptz is perhaps the closest you're going to get. It doesn't have an ideal lens, etc.. but it works well, especially if you have enough light.

This.

But as mentioned, at night you will need some good ambient light. IR is weak and it’s a 1/2.8 sensor so don’t expect great nighttime performance

If you have plenty of streetlights and you and neighbors keep driveway coach lights on it can be ok

Thanks. Need a good lens with strong ir the view is highly backlit. Guess I need a basketball size cam.
