Do most PTZ cameras provide "tracking" capability?

Thanks for the follow up. Yes, it's quite apparent from the video that you are using the panoramic cameras for tracking. My apologies if that was not clear in my post. As I mentioned, I think this is a good approach. A single-view PTZ must zoom out periodically to reassess the larger scene, whereas a panorama/PTZ combo can simultaneously view the entire scene and track an object with full zoom. However, it should be possible to track an object using this approach, whereas the demo video has very little tracking, but rather jumps from region to region to take snapshots of regions with movement.

 

may be it was my mistake and this is a wrong thread, sorry about it...

our product is not "classical" tracking system, it is other idea behind it - we have different zone's priority (1,2,3, "neutral" and "ignore"). If any intruder is detected in the more important area, the old target will be "dropped". It is possible to define intruder's properties - the physical size (we use 3D simulation inside), inactivity limit etc.

 

 

I understand this was a demo, and the software and hardware are still being refined. We look forward to additional follow ups as you make improvements. IMO, we are going to see some extremely capable auto PTZ systems over the next decade (e.g scene understanding, threat identification, and higher-level decisions about potential threats, etc), and we look forward to your continued improvements and more demos.

Thank you.

I hope to be able to public several really impressive demos during night operation in January - as soon our pre-production unit with high sensitive B/W panoramic cameras and special lenses inside will be ready...

 

Regards,

Alexander
