Tracking Mode: PTZ Auto Tracking Priority or Manual PTZ Control Priority can be optional.
PTZ Tracking Priority: if this mode is selected, in smart tracking mode, you cannot control PTZ by clicking the buttons on the PTZ
control panel in the live view interface.
Manual PTZ Control Priority: if this mode is selected, in smart tracking mode, you can control PTZ by clicking the buttons on the PTZ
control panel in the live view interface and then the camera will immediately stop the tracking action. After you finish controlling
PTZ for 5 seconds, the PTZ camera will return to the start tracking position and wait for the object to appear.
Home Position after…: If it is enabled and the time is set, when the target stops or hides behind an obstacle, or the target tracking is
complete and there is no target appearing in the detection area during the set time, the PTZ camera will return to the tracking start
position. Of course, during this time, if there are targets moving, the PTZ will continue tracking. If it is not enabled, when the target
stops or there is no target appearing in the detection area for 5 seconds, the PTZ camera will return to the start tracking position.
For example: in the crossroad, if a car is waiting for the red light for 30 seconds, and the time is set as 20 seconds, then the tracking
will stop following; but if the time is set as 40 seconds, after the red light start to change into green light, then the car re-start to
move, and the PTZ will keep on tracking this car.
