I really like the stated capabilities of the camera, BUT they don't all work together.
My use case is to cover my backyard which requires about 180 degrees of coverage. Sounds like Patrol and Auto-Tracking would do the job, in addition to the on-camera animal/person/vehicle detection and spot-lights that turn and off with detection.
BUT:
1) With Patrol, every camera movement is detected as motion, although animal/person/vehicle work normally.
2) With Patrol, auto-tracking stops. Therefore when animal/person/vehicle motion are detected, they are not tracked when they move off screen.
3) Preset points and Patrol controls both error out on the Android app, although they are accessible from the Windows software and direct HTTP access.

If your use case is different, it's a great camera. I love the image resolution, the camera can pan 360 degrees without needing to "unwind." every feature is exposed to the Home Assistant integration, there are many alert and recording options, and Wi-fi connectivity is great.

I needed to purchase a separate stainless steel corner mounting plate to see 270 degrees around the corner of a house. The default monitor location's area blocked out by the 'Non-Detection Zone' is carried along as the camera moves - that is annoying, as that area isn't valid once the camera moves from its default monitoring location.
