For Auto Tracking, set the detection area for moving objects while checking the video on the computer screen. The camera 
is controlled so that the detected moving object appears near the center of the video display area. You can also set which 
operations (such as e-mail notification, recording video, or playing audio from  the speaker connected to the camera) are 
carried out when detection occurs.
Setting Auto Tracking
Use the following steps  to set Auto Tracking.
For details on how to adjust presets, please refer to “Registering a Preset” (P. 131).
If you select [Specify the initial camera position], the came ra angle will be moved to the selected preset position. 
The camera angle will also be moved to the selected preset position after Auto Tracking ends.
Note
You can select presets that meet the following conditions. – Presets configured within the view restrictions.
– Presets with pan, tilt and zoom setting values ( not blank) configured in [Preset Registration] (P. 132).

Use a rectangle to specify the detection area (P. 180).
Note
The detection area is set to display within a rectangular area by default. It cannot be set to the edge of the video display area.
Set the size ratio of moving objects for the entire screen.
When the setting values or slider is changed, or the detection area is changed, an indicator representing the 
object size is displayed for one second in the center of the video display area allowing you to check the size ratio 
while specifying the setting.
When the moving object is det ected, the camera automatically tr acks it for the specified time.
When selected, the camera zooms in on the mo ving object and automatically tracks it.
3Configure the detection area in the video display area.
4Configure the size the moving object needed to trigger detection in [Object Size (%)] in the [Tracking Conditions] 
tab.

The settings are saved to the camera.
If you keep control privileges, the  camera does not automatically track.
For the camera to automatically track moving obj ects, it is necessary to release control privileges.
Detection Status for Auto Tracking
All moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
If a moving object is smaller than [Object Size (%)], its contour lines are white.
If the moving object is larger than [Object Size (%)], its contour lines take on the same color as the detection area, 
indicating that “d etected” mode has been triggered.
In “detected” mode, auto tracking  starts and a polygon frame appears on the target object.
The camera will pan, tilt or zoom during auto tracking so the target object always appears at the center of the screen.
When [Enable auto zoom during tracking] is selected,  the camera zooms in on the target and auto tracks.
7In the [Event] tab, configure the operations to be performed when “detected” mode is triggered.
8Click [Apply].

Auto tracking prioritizes tracking the first detected moving object. While auto  tracking, other moving objects will not 
be detected even if they sati sfy [Tracking Start Conditions].
Note
The detection status of auto tracking can also be checked in t he [Event and Input/Output] menu of the Camera Viewer (P. 85).
Auto Tracking Termination
Auto tracking will be terminated in the following cases.
 The Camera Viewer, etc. obtained camera control privileges or the video is displayed on the Setting Page.
 The camera moved to a preset position due to the triggering  of a volume detection event or an external input device. 
 Capture of a panorama image has started.
 You executed [Maintenance] > [General] > [Tool] > [Refresh Drive System].
 The configured auto [Tracking Duration] time has elapsed.
 Tracking cannot continue because sight of the moving object  was lost (examples: movement of target object was lost, 
target object is lost in shadow of anot her object, target object falls below the  sizes possible for tracking, target object 
moves outside the possible tracking area).
 The [Intelligent Function] has restarted.
When auto tracking is terminated, a tracking  OFF event is triggered and the camera returns to the initial camera position 
(when [Specify the initial camera position] has been selected). If camera control privileges were revoked, the camera will 
move after camera control privileges are released.
Auto tracking detection resumes after the camera moves back to the original position.
Disabling Auto Tracking
You can disable Auto Tracking by selecting [Video Detection] (P. 173) in [Operation Mode] for the Intelligent Function.
Important
 When setting the Auto Tracking Function, it is recommended that you test the auto detection, to confirm that object will conti nue 
to be tracked.
 Moving objects are not individually recog nized during auto tracking. Thus when two objects pass each other, or there are 
multiple moving objects,  proper tracking of the object may not be possible.
 If there are multiple moving objects, la rge objects closest to the center of the screen are prioritized and will continue to be 
tracked.
 The privacy mask areas are also part  of the auto tracking detection area.
 The camera will not track the subject while video is being di splayed on the Setting Page, or while camera control privileges a re 
obtained using the camera viewer, etc. To allow automatic  tracking with the camera, you must release the camera control 
privileges.
 While auto tracking, preset tours will not start.
 Auto tracking beyond view re strictions is not possible.
