Object Tracking and Zooming

Object Tracking provides you the real-time tracking and automatic magnification of a single moving

object by the combination of one PTZ camera and one stationary camera. If only one PTZ camera is

available, it can be applied for Object Zooming, letting you configure four critical views for real-time

zooming. The Object Tracking and Object Zooming functions can be combined together by completing

both settings.

Object Tracking

For the tracking function, you need one PTZ camera applied for tracking and one stationary camera

set for a fixed view. Install the PTZ camera and the stationary camera in the best possible closing

position, so the focus of both could be similar. For the supported PTZ cameras, see Certified PTZ

Models for Object Tracking in Appendix C.

1. Click the Configure button (No. 14, Figure 1-2), point to General Setting, and then select
