It resumes when you unmute the system. If camera tracking is disabled, pressing Mute on the

must manually move the camera using the remote control or a touch device.

the Input used by the EagleEye Director.

Enable Camera Tracking for EagleEye Director
If EagleEye Director tracking is enabled, the camera follows the person or people who are speaking.
While one camera tracks the person who is speaking, the other camera captures the room view. The
EagleEye Director shows the room view while the camera moves from one speaker to another. When the
tracking camera locates a person who is speaking, the EagleEye Director camera switches to a close-up
of that person. This tracking action, also called automatic camera positioning, can be manually started.
Do one of the following:
• In the local interface, go to Settings > Administration > Camera Tracking > Settings.
◦ For the Tracking Mode setting, select Voice. This is the default tracking mode. In this mode,
the camera automatically tracks the current speaker in the room using a voice tracking
algorithm.When you select the Voice Tracking Mode, you can also choose the Tracking
Speed. This speed determines how quickly the camera 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.
