Allow Manual Override (User Control)
When manual override is enabled, the auto-tracking algorithm will release control of the PTZ and stop
controlling the PTZ camera if a user sends a manual PTZ command. The auto-tracking algorithm will
reset when no user PTZ commands have been sent for the specified period.
When manual override is disabled, all user PTZ commands will be ignored if auto-tracking is in progress.
Auto-tracking Initiation
PTZ auto tracking can be initiated in three different ways:
• Start tracking when any object is detected: The auto-tracking will start automatically and track
the first object detected by the VCAsys tracking engine (normally from the VCA home preset
position). The "Start auto tracking when any selected rule triggered" checkbox should be
unchecked to enable this mode.
• Start tracking when an existing VCA rule is triggered: The auto-tracking will start
automatically when any one of the VCA rules in the "selected rules" list is triggered. This provides
a powerful way to filter out the objects of interest that are selected for autotracking and exclude
any other objects. The "Start auto tracking when any selected rule triggered" checkbox should be
checked to enable this mode and the rules that should initiate autotracking should be present in
the "selected rules" list on the right-hand side.
• Start tracking when initiated manually by the user (Manual Lay-on): It is also possible for the
user to manually initiate PTZ autotracking. This feature is useful if the operator spots something
of interest and would like the PTZ autotracking to take over the job of tracking the subject
automatically.
Manual lay-on can be achieved in two ways:
• By selecting a target that is already being tracked by the VCA engine. In this case the target will
be highlighted with a bounding box on the user display. Simply double click the target while
holding the shift key and PTZ autotracking will be initiated on the selected target.
• By drawing a box around any portion of the image. Simply hold the shift key and click to drag out
the target area. PTZ autotracking will be initiated on the area indicated.
