Video Analysis
3.1 Object Tracking and Zooming
Object Tracking provides you the real-time tracking and automatic magnification of a single moving
object by the combination of one PTZ camera and one stationary camera. If only one PTZ camera is
available, it can be applied for Object Zooming, letting you configure four critical views for real-time
zooming. The Object Tracking and Object Zooming functions can be combined together by completing
both settings.
3.1.1 Object Tracking
For the tracking function, you need one PTZ camera applied for tracking and one stationary camera
set for a fixed view. Install the PTZ camera and the stationary camera in close proximity of each other
so the focus and the camera view of both are similar. Only GV-IP Speed Dome and some third-party IP
cameras support this function. To see the supported PTZ cameras, see Certified PTZ Models for
Object Tracking in Appendix C.
Setting Up a PTZ Camera
Before configuring the Object Tracking function, first configure the PTZ camera.
1. Click the Configure button (No. 14, Figure 1-2), point to Accessories, select PTZ Device and
select PTZ Setup.
2. Select the model from the drop-down list.
3. Click the button. A setup dialog box appears.
• For GV-IP Speed Dome, select Enable Object Tracking. To configure the preset points, first
select Normal and configure presets from the PTZ control panel on the screen.
