PTZ camera and motion detection in the non-home location.
So I've been playing around with the Sunba P636 v2 and seem to finally have things working. Issues were mostly on the Sunba side and some weird firmware updating issues. That said.
I have a setup, where the Sunba's home position is looking down our driveway, and can't see the entire front of our property zoomed all the way out. I have another camera that is fixed and can see everything, but it's far away. It does detect motion just fine. The idea was to get a PTZ with some auto tracking to get finer detail, zoom in, etc.
Is there a way for the following. Let's say motion is detected in the leftmost view of the fixed camera. Is there a way to trigger the PTZ camera via SS to go to a preset destination and begin to capture footage once that motion is triggered? Essentially, if Motion on Camera 1 is detected, then PTZ camera go to this preset and record?

Yes. Look at the "Actions" that can be triggered. You could create an action associated with the fixed camera that is a script. The script can command the PTZ camera to go to a pre-set destination, and then trigger a motion detection event. Then the script could sleep for 60 seconds and then the script could tell it to go back to the "home" position if it doesn't do that automatically.

You can crib my script buried in this thread (https://bensoftware.com/forum/discussion/4089/low-res-stream-triggering-hi-res-actions-resource-saver#latest) and re-write it to do what you want with some common sense, probably.
