Use a rectangle to specify the detection area (P. 219).
Note
The detection area is set to display within a rectangular area by default. It cannot be set to the edge of the video display area.
Set the size ratio of moving objects for the entire screen.
When the setting values or slider is changed, or the detection area is changed, an in dicator frame representing 
the object size is displayed for one s econd in the center of the video display area allowing you to check the size 
ratio while specifying the setting.
After the subject is in “det ected” mode, the camera tracks  it for the specified time.
When selected, the camera zooms in on the mo ving object and automatically tracks it.
3Configure the detection area in the video display area.
4Configure the size the moving object needed to trigger detection in [Object  Size (%)] in the [Tracking Conditions] 
tab.
5To configure the time to continue auto tracking, select [ Set the tracking duration] and set the time in [Tracking

For details on settings, please refer to “Configure Operations for Triggered Detection ([Event] Tab)” (P. 227).
The settings are saved to the camera.
If you keep control privileges, an ON event is trigge red as “detected” mode and the camera does not 
automatically track even when a subject is dete cted that meets tracking start conditions.
For the camera to automatically track moving obj ects, it is necessary to release control privileges.
Detection Status for Auto Tracking
All moving objects detected are shown with contour lines.
If a moving object is smaller than [Object Size (%)], its contour lines are white.
If the moving object is larger than [O bject Size (%)], its contour lines take  on the same color as the detection area, 
indicating that “d etected” mode has been triggered.
In “detected” mode,  auto tracking starts and a polygon  frame appears on the target object.
The camera will pan, tilt or zoom during  auto tracking so the target object always appears at the center of the screen.
When [Enable auto zoom during tracking] is selected,  the camera zooms in on the target and auto tracks.
7In the [Event] tab, configure the operations to be performed when “detected” mode is triggered.
8Click [Save settings].
9In the message box displayed, click [Yes].

Auto tracking will start to track the first detected moving object. While auto tracking, other moving objects will not be 
detected even if they satisf y [Tracking Start Conditions].
Auto Tracking Termination
Auto tracking will be terminated in the following cases.
 Camera control privileges for auto tracking were revoked due to the following conditions.
– The Admin Viewer obtained camera control privileges.
– The camera moved to a preset position due to the triggering  of a volume detection event or an external input device. 
– The camera panned or tilted due to  the creation of a panorama image.
– You obtained camera control pr ivileges using viewer operations for auto tracking.
 The configured auto [Tracking Duration] time has elapsed.
 Tracking cannot continue because sight of the moving object  was lost (examples: movement of target object was lost, 
target object is lost in shadow of anot her object, target object falls below the  sizes possible for tracking, target object 
moves outside the possible tracking area).
 The [Intelligent Function Tool] has restarted.
When auto tracking is terminated, a tracking OFF event is triggered and the camera returns to the initial camera position 
(when [Specify the initial camera position] has been selected). If camera control privileges were revoked, the camera will 
move after camera control privileges are released.
Tracking start conditions are enabled after th e camera moves back to the initial position.
Disable Auto Tracking
You can disable Auto Tracking by restarting the Intelligent Func tion Setting Tool and selecting [Video Detection] (P. 214) in 
the Intelligent Function selection screen.
Important
 When setting the Auto Tracking Function, it is recommended that you test the auto detection, to confirm that object will conti nue 
to be detected.
 Large objects closest to the center of the screen  will be tracked with priority during tracking.
 During Auto Tracking, the object itself is not being recognize d. Thus when two objects pass each other, or there are multiple 
moving objects, proper tracking  of the object may not be possible.
 The camera will not track the subject if camera control privileg es are enabled on the Intelligent Function Setting Tool. To allow 
automatic tracking with the cam era, you must release the camera control priv ileges on the Intelligent Function Setting Tool.
 While auto tracking, preset tours will not start.
 Auto tracking beyond view re strictions is not possible.
 The privacy mask areas are also part  of the auto tracking detection area.
