*Items q through !0below explain each of the items available on the auto tracking setting menu.

LARGE : Zooms the target to a size that is approximately three-fourths (vertically) the size of the monitor screen.

Notes:

•Sizes shown above are approximate and for reference only. The actual size depends on operating environment conditions and tracking conditions.

•A larger target size setting will result in reduced tracking performance.

(1)Configuring the Installation Height Setting (CAM-

ERA HEIGHT)

1.Move the cursor to CAMERA HEIGHT and then tilt the joystick left or right to specify a camera height setting.

You can set the camera height in the range of 2.50M to 30.0M. The factory default setting is 2.50M.

The installation height of the camera should be the height between the tracking target and the camera (H1: 2.50M ~ 30.0M). It is not H2.

Important: Make sure that you input the installation height of the camera correctly. An incorrect camera height value will result in extremely poor detection and tracking performance.

(SENSITIVITY)

1.Move the cursor to SENSITIVITY and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a sensitivity setting. You can set sensitivity to one of three levels: LOW, MID, or HIGH.

The factory default setting is MID.

Note: A low sensitivity setting can avoid erroneous detection of tree movement and other natural movement, but it also reduces tracking performance. Higher sensitivity, on the other hand, improves tracking performance but also increases the chance of detection error. Configure settings in accordance with the environment where the camera is located.

(4)Configuring the Tracking Activation Mode Setting (TRACKING MODE)

1.Move the cursor to TRACKING MODE and then tilt the joystick left or right to select how much weight should be given to a target's characteristic features (shape or color etc.) during tracking.

TRACKING MODE can be set to LOW, MID, or HIGH.

LOW : Weight given to movement.

⇑⇓

HIGH : Weight given to characteristics. The factory default setting is MID.

Note: When LOW is selected, tracking may switch to another target that is exhibiting a large degree of movement. When HIGH is selected, tracking of a particular target continues, but tracking performance is reduced when the conditions of the on-screen target change. Configure this setting in accordance with the environment where the camera is located.
