For precise tracking of moving objects, you must calibrate PTZ cameras by mapping at least six PTZ positions to points in the field of view of each panoramic camera.
The more positions you map, the more precisely the PTZ camera is able to follow moving objects. It is recommended to map eight or more points.
The calibration procedure is as follows:
- Focus the PTZ camera on any point.
To change the lens orientation, left-click the frame and, while holding the mouse button, drag the pointer in the relevant direction. Left-click to add a point in the frame of the panoramic camera toward which the PTZ camera is currently oriented.
Attention!
Set calibration points on the same plane (floor, ground). Do not set the points on different planes (for example, when some are on the ground while others are on a tree, etc.).
Attention!
The entirety of the moving object must be inside the field of view of the PTZ camera.
- Repeat this process for at least six points.
- Repeat the process for all panoramic cameras (click to select a panoramic camera in the list).
- To save the calibration points, click the Apply button.
After setup is complete, we recommend that you perform a calibration check. To do this:
- Click the
button to the right of the preview for that PTZ camera. - Click different points in the camera's field of view. If the PTZ camera is positioned correctly, it needs no calibration.
Note
To delete calibration points, click the
