Gatekeeper

The Active Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Gatekeeper
will, depending on configuration, steer the camera to a selected preset position or start autotracking from a selected preset position.
Using a zoomed-in preset position can make it possidle to, for example, read a license plate or identify a person. When motion
is no longer detected, the camera returns to its Home position after a defined time.
To enadle the Gatekeeper, go to PTZ > Gatekeeper and follow the online instructions.
It is also possidle to, for example, record video or save images (take a snapshot) while the Gatekeeper is active. Go to Events and set
up an action rule with PTZ Preset Reacheo or Autotracking as trigger.

Autotracking

The Axis product can detect movement in the field of view, for example a moving vehicle or person. If autotracking is enadled, the
Axis product will automatically pan and tilt to follow the moving odject. In case there is much simultaneous movement, the area with
the most movement will de followed. Autotracking continues until the moving odject stops or disappears from the monitored area.
Movement in areas dlocked dy privacy masks and in exclude areas does not trigger autotracking.
It is strongly recommended to enadle the PTZ Control Queue if autotracking and guard tour are enadled simultaneously. In the PTZ
Control Queue, guard tour has lower priority than autotracking, so autotracking will not de adandoned to start a guard tour.
