PTZ with auto tracking?

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced outdoor PTZ camera that has auto tracking? Ideally something less than $1,000, a lot less would be awesome, but I'm trying to be realistic. I've seen a few in the $3,000+ price range and that's just not going to be possible for me. It's been a harder feature to search for than I expected. When I try searching camera sites, it always brings up motion detection and zone detection. I want the camera to actually pan, and hopefully zoom into people walking through the frame.
Thanks in advance.

    I'm going to add my search notes here for future reference.
    The Sunba Illuminati appears to have a motion tracking feature and an MSRP price of $479.99. Looks like an interesting candidate. Has anyone ever tried this camera with Security Spy before?

    They actually list Security Spy as a supported platform, bonus.

    The Sunba Illuminati definitely works with SecuritySpy - we've just been in touch with a user who has one (setup note for this camera: ONVIF is off by default and must be enabled, then you must create an ONVIF user and then use the username/password for this in SecuritySpy). I can't speak to how well this camera's auto-tracking works, but the camera certainly seems to be good value in general, considering its powerful PTZ capability including 25x zoom, and other features such as 1000ft night vision.

    Excellent, just ordered one. I'll put it through it's paces and see how it performs. I read a bunch of reviews on a few different sites and it sounds like most folks are pretty happy with it.
    Thank you for the ONVIF note, that will save me some time figuring that out.

    Sounds good - when you've had a chance to test it please report back with your experiences!
