Some advanced IP PTZ cameras can support auto-tracking function, therefore they usually are called “Smart” PTZ cameras. Auto-tracking means the camera can automatically track the moving objects, meanwhile auto zoom in/out and incorporating the auto-focus to get the clear image. As you may guess, the auto-tracking function works great when it monitors low-traffic areas, the applications including parking lots and museums, as well as the non-working time surveillance of schools, stores, construction sites.
How auto tracking works?
Typically, the PTZ camera includes a auto-tracking module which has embedded with special software based on image frame analysis algorithm. Users also can use the mouse to select and lock the object to auto-track, this can avoid tracking inaccurately when there are multiple moving objects appear. Watch the following video to know how the auto-tracking function works.
Advantages of auto-tracking PTZ camera
- Auto-track moving objects, smart and efficient
- Monitoring and recording the most important objects
- Optical zoom to maintain clear image
- Sensitivity adjustable, multiple tracking modes
- Incorporating with motion detection
- Immune to flying birds, moving tree branches etc small objects
- Eliminate the need for multiple cameras
Auto-Tracking PTZ Camera Applications
Auto-tracking PTZ camera can be used in many different commercial video surveillance applications that require to cover large area, these applications including forest, road, train, airport, seaport, plaza, park, street, stadium etc; auto-tracking function can be applied to monitor perimeter of airport, military base or community.
