I wanted to get developers’ opinion regarding durability and product longevity for fixed view cameras vs auto pan/tilt cameras as the latter uses motors. However, the feature sounds quite helpful.

The less moving parts, the more durable a device is. That being said, I wouldn’t be worried about it. These devices are pretty reliable nowadays

Fair. I am thinking about Solocam E42. Want to connect it to apple HKSV. I have two options. Either buy 2 solocams E42 at corners or go for 4 fixed view cams with 1 at front, 1 at back and 2 on the side.
I have a G3 inside (pan/tilt) and fixed G5 Pro outside, and for me they do different jobs. Outside I prefer fixed, since it’s always watching the same spot. A pan/tilt camera looking left can miss what happens on the right. Inside, pan/tilt is handy for one big room.
For four sides, I’d go with fixed cameras. Two pan/tilt in the corners will always have a blind side when they turn.
