Auto Tracking
Normal Scenario for Auto Tracking
Object detecting state
The camera starts to search a moving object. It may not
starts the detecting under the some conditions. See ‘About
Auto Tracking’.
Object tracking state
If the camera detects the object, it starts to track the object.
When it uses PTZ in tracking, it’ll zoom in the object if
it is small. If some OSD such as USER TITLE, ZOOM MAG,
FUNCTION, DOME ID, and COMPASS are enabled, they are
hidden from this state.
Recovery state
When the camera is configured to PTZ mode and lost the
object, it will zoom out to re-tracking the object.
Lost state
If the camera fails to re-tracking the object, it can stay its
position or return to the initial position where the tracking
was started. The hidden OSD is shown from this state.
While PRESET TOUR / GROUP TOUR / AUTO
PAN
• When the camera is stopped at one preset position, it
follows the normal scenario for the preset dwell time.
• If a moving object is detected, the camera tracks the
object until the lost state.
• If a moving object is not detected for the dwell time,
it goes to the next preset position. While it is moving
to the next position, the Auto Tracking is stopped
temporary.
• Because of the OSD, Auto Tracking might operate
incorrectly while PRESET TOUR/GROUP TOUR/AUTO
PAN.
About Auto Tracking

camera (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) or turns on OSD Menu. It is

PRESET TOUR, GROUP TOUR, PATTERN TOUR, and AUTO
PAN.

configured to 2.5M, ZOOM function will be inactivated
to operate Auto Tracking correctly.
