Configuring PTZ Auto Framing Initial Settings
This topic describes how to configure PTZ auto framing initial settings.
-
Press the [PTZ AFR Settings] tab.
The [Initial Setup] screen of the PTZ AFR setup screen appears.
-
Check the description on the screen and press the [Start] button.
Hint
- The [Start] button is displayed only when configuring settings for the first time.
Configuration of the PTZ auto framing settings starts.
-
Adjust the desired PTZ auto framing composition on the [Framing] screen.
A: Human body size slider
B: Composition adjustment panel
C: Composition frame
Adjust the size and position of the person within the image.
Hint
- Double-clicking an icon on the left side of the human body size slider will set the composition frame to the size (zoom ratio) and position of the person for that icon.
Note
- If the white composition frame overlaps the gray zone, it will be easy to lose people moving in the opposite direction.
- If you compose your shot so that the person is large, it will be easy to lose people if they move quickly. In this case, make the person smaller and position them so that there is enough room to move around.
-
When finished configuring, press the [Next] button.
The next setup screen appears.
-
Set the tracking mode on the [Tracking Operation] screen.
Sets the tracking start mode.
- [Auto]: In this mode, tracking a person automatically starts when a person enters the specified detection area in the field of view configured for the start position (auto tracking start mode). When this setting is selected, configuration on the [Start Position] screen and [Detection Settings] is required.

A: Camera image panel
B: Framing control panel
Set the start position.
- Set the start position using the framing control panel to pan, tilt and zoom the camera image while monitoring the camera image in the camera image panel. You can adjust the pan/tilt and zoom transition speed using the sliders.
- By default, the [Move to the set start position] button is disabled. It is enabled after the initial configuration is completed. Press it to move to the currently configured start position.
- Press the [Pan-Tilt Reset] button to reset the pan/tilt. Press the button when the POWER lamp and NETWORK lamp are blinking simultaneously on the front panel of the unit or when [Execute Pan-Tilt Reset.] is displayed in the framing control panel.
