ignore motion within such as a doorway with people walking by or an LCD screen
with active video content displayed note that the blocking zones must be used
within the tracking zone tracking setting will define what actions the
camera is allowed to perform Auto tilt can be used if the subject will be
walking towards and away from the camera to maintain the best possible tilt angle
as reference from preset 1 free track will allow the camera to follow any
moving object even if it is not within the priority tracking zone permanent
track allows the presenter to venture beyond the defined priority tracking
zone and still have Auto tracking capabilities is advisable to disable
auto toilt with the last two options to avoid unexpected and extreme tilt
angles Auto zoom when enabled will allow the camera to maintain the framing as
referenced for preset 1 and limited by the zoom limit as the subject moves
towards or away from the camera tracking parameters will determine how the
tracking system should behave in regards to speeds
and what to do when the subject is lost tracking sensitivity defines how much
motion is needed to trigger the auto tracking feature pan and tilt speed
will control the speed at which the auto tracking is allowed to pan and tilt
respectively zoom limit allows you to define how much the camera is allowed to
intelligently zoom to maintain framing as reference from preset one when auto
zoom is enabled the last timeout allows you to set a time frame for when to
respond to the subject being lost ranging from one second to seven seconds
the object loss action tells the camera to go to preset zero preset 1 or to stay
when that lost timeout has been triggered start up action allows the
camera to default to auto tracking when turn on or to wait for a user to click
the start button under tracking control to turn on the tracking feature when all
