What is Auto Tracking?
Auto tracking is the camera's capability to detect a specific type of object, such as a person or a vehicle, and track it as the object moves within the view of the camera. The tracking process can be visualized for the operator by showing the bounding box around the tracked object. By tracking the object the camera can be sure that it is still the same object. This can be used, for example, to distinguish loitering or illegal stopping of a vehicle, etc.
What is PTZ Auto Tracking?
The fixed cameras can only track the objects while they are within the fixed view of the camera. When the person leaves the view of the camera then the tracking stops. In case of the modern PTZ cameras, the built-in AI not only tracks the person, but also commands the PTZ function to turn the camera whenever necessary in order to keep the tracked object within the view of the camera.
