About autotracking

Autotracking detects movement in the camera's field of view, for example a moving vehicle or person, and follows the moving object
until it stops or disappears from the monitored area. In case there is much simultaneous movement, the product selects the area with
the most amount of motion. When there are no moving objects in the field of view, the camera returns to the home position.
Important
• The autotracking feature is designed for areas where there is a limited amount of movement.
• If both autotracking and guard tour are enabled, we recommend using the PTZ control queue. In the control queue,
guard tour has lower priority than autotracking, preventing the product from stopping autotracking to maintain or start
a guard tour.
• Autotracking does not follow object behind privacy masks or objects in exclude areas. You can also set up maximum limits
so that the autotracking only triggers within a certain range in the live view.
Configuration
Start/Stop Autotracking - Click Start to enable autotracking. To disable autotracking, click Stop.
Settings - The Movement trigger sensitivity level can be set to Low, Medium or High. Medium is usually a good choice, depending on
the size of the moving objects and the image contrast, a low or high sensitivity might be more suitable.
Exclude Areas
Exclude areas are areas where movement is to be ignored.
Note
Movement in an area blocked by a privacy mask is always ignored.
1. Click Add area to create an exclude area
2. Resize and move the area (the blue rectangle) to the desired position.
3. Enter a descriptive name and click Save.
To remove an area, click the name of the area and click Remove. To enable or disable an area, click the name of the area and
click Enable/Disable.
Max Limits
The pan and tilt limits restrict the area where autotracking is allowed. The area beyond the set limits will be ignored. This may prove
useful, for example, to avoid tracking birds in the sky. Between the pan start and end limits, autotracking is allowed going clockwise.
The illustrations show the difference between setting a range from 135° to 45° (1) and a range from 45° to 135° (2).
1. Select Enable tilt limit and Enable pan limit respectively to enable the tilt and pan limits.
2. Enter the Tilt angle and Pan limit values, or click the links and move the blue horizontal and vertical bars in the preview
window until satisfied.
3. Click Save.
