How do Image, Stream, and Stream profile settings relate to each other?
The Image tab contains camera settings that affect all video streams from the product. If you change something in this tab, it
immediately affects all video streams and recordings.
The Stream tab contains settings for video streams. You get these settings if you request a video stream from the product and don't
specify for example resolution, or frame rate. When you change the settings in the Stream tab, it doesn't affect ongoing streams, but
it will take effect when you start a new stream.
The Stream profiles settings override the settings from the Stream tab. If you request a stream with a specific stream profile, the
stream contains the settings of that profile. If you request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profile
that doesn't exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the Stream tab.

Applications

With applications, you can get more out of your Axis device. AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is an open platform that
makes it possible for third parties to develop analytics and other applications for Axis devices. Applications can be preinstalled on the
device, available for download for free, or for a license fee.
To find the user manuals for Axis applications, go to help.axis.com.
Note
• Several applications can run at the same time but some applications might not be compatible with each other. Certain
combinations of applications might require too much processing power or memory resources when run in parallel. Verify
that the applications work together before deployment.
Autotracking
With autotracking, the camera automatically zooms in on and tracks moving objects, for example a vehicle or a person. You can
manually select an object to track, or set up trigger areas and let the camera detect moving objects. The application is best suited for
open areas with no obscuring objects and where movement is unusual. When the camera doesn't track an object, it returns to its
connected preset position.
Important
• Autotracking is designed for areas with a limited amount of movement.
• Autotracking does not track objects behind privacy masks.
• If both autotracking and guard tour are enabled, guard tour takes priority over autotracking. This means autotracking
stops if a guard tour starts.
