Accessing Auto Tracking Settings​

Step 1: Open the Web Interface​

Start by opening the camera's web interface in your browser. Type the camera's IP address into the address bar and navigate to it. You'll be presented with a login screen — enter your credentials to proceed to the main dashboard.

If you need help locating your camera's IP address, refer to your camera's network setup documentation:

Step 2: Navigate to the Control Tab​

Once logged in, you'll see the main dashboard with a video preview at the top. Directly below the video preview are three tabs: Speed, Image, and Control. Click on the Control tab.

Step 3: Select the Automation Tab​

Within the Control tab, you'll find three sub-tabs: Automation, Mode, and Ports. Select the Automation tab to access the auto tracking settings.

Step 4: Configure Your Settings​

Automation Mode​

At the very top of the Automation tab, you'll see an Automation toggle for switching between Off, Auto Framing, and Auto Tracking.

Time Delay​

Below the automation mode toggle, you can enable or disable Time Delay and set a specific delay time before tracking turns on.

Tracking Start Location​

Set where the camera should be positioned when auto tracking begins.

Tracking Stop Location​

Define where the camera should move when tracking stops.

Target Loss Timeout​

Set how long the camera waits before giving up on a lost target, and which preset it moves to when that happens.

For what each of these options actually does, see the Reference Guide linked above.

Step 5: Apply Your Changes​

After adjusting any of these settings, click Apply for the changes to take effect.
