Gatekeeper

The Active Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Gatekeeper will, depending on configuration, steer the camera to a selected preset position or start autotracking from a selected preset position. Using a zoomed-in preset position can make it possible to, for example, read a license plate or identify a person. When motion

is no longer detected, the camera returns to its Home position after a defined time.

To enable the Gatekeeper, go to PTZ > Gatekeeper and follow the online instructions.

It is also possible to, for example, record video or save images (take a snapshot) while the Gatekeeper is active. Go to Events and set up an action rule with PTZ Preset Reached or Autotracking as trigger.
