Review-SD4A425DB-HNY 1/2.8" CMOS 4MP 25x Starlight Auto-tracking MiniPTZ

I've discovered something strange about mine. It has a 360 degree horizontal field of view. Wasn't expecting ting this first time I saw it. I hope it's by design, if not it will surely self destruct when the wires to the turret break.

I think you mean rotation but, yes, designed that way.

Yea, rotation is what I meant.

Use AAC instead of PCM, and turn off the noise filter.

Couple setting questions after scanning all the pages.. getting my SD4A425DB all dialed in.. .

• Video Detection - What is the "PTZ movement triggers motion detection" option in Video Detection use for exactly?
• Events - Is there a way to control when day & night switch in this camera?
• Time Plan Settings - Is this where all the Events and schedules are utilized and what is the recommendations for Day & Night?

Also since this is replacing my SD42212T-HN is the only reason the 422 performs better at night due to the 2MP to 1/2.8" sensor vs. 4MP to 1/2.8" sensor?



There are the settings I had in the SD42212T-HN where night view was better...
