— Press the Option button on the remote control and select Stop Camera
Tracking.
— If the HDX system is paired with a Polycom Touch Control, touch
Cameras on the Home screen or the Call screen and select Stop
Camera Tracking.
Camera tracking can also start or stop based on the following actions:
• Camera tracking starts automatically when you make a call.
• Camera tracking stops after you hang up a call.
• Camera tracking temporarily stops when you mute the RealPresence
Group system in a call. It resumes when you unmute the system.
Tracking performance can be affected by room lighting. If the room is too bright for
camera tracking to work properly, you can improve the tracking performance by
adjusting the Backlight Compensation setting on the Cameras screen. To find this
setting in the local interface, go to System > Admin Settings > Cameras >
Camera Settings. In the web interface, you can go to Admin Settings > Cameras
> Camera Settings.

moves to each person who speaks. The default speed is Normal.
If voice tracking does not work as expected, make sure the
microphones are functioning properly. For ways to test microphone
functionality, refer to the Camera Audio Meter setting in the table
under Video Cameras
