Pairing a FLIR Security Geotracking Device with a FLIR Security PTZ Camera
If the PTZ mode is Single Track, the PTZ camera is currently engaging a geotrack. Selecting another PTZ
mode disengages the PTZ camera from the geotrack.
· Lock the PTZ camera onto a currently engaged track, regardless of the
existing mode. Make sure the PTZ mode is not None or Single Track. Then,
under Track, click Lock. As long as the geotracking device detects the
object and provides the geotracking information, the PTZ camera follows the
track. When the geotracking device no longer detects the object, the PTZ
camera automatically changes Track to Unlock.
· Specify a Dwell Time, between 0-100 seconds. In Track Scan geotracking
mode, the PTZ camera stays on each geotrack for the specified dwell time.
· Enable Field of View Adjustment. The distance from the geotracking device to
a tracked object determines the PTZ camera’s zoom. Specify the PTZ
camera’s field of view (FoV), between 1-100 meters.
· Enable Only Alarm Tracks. The PTZ camera only tracks objects detected by
the geotracking device in an alarm region.
· Specify the Idle State Mode, the behavior of the PTZ camera when it is in a
geotracking mode and there is no track to engage for the specified Timeout:
o None—PTZ camera stays at the current position.
o Home Position—PTZ camera moves to its home position.
o Preset—PTZ camera moves to the specified preset.
The PTZ camera immediately applies and saves these settings. You do not have to click Save.
