Off: Tracking mode is disabled. Manual Frame: User one-click SmartFrame button and camera will adjust view angle to fit all

participants in screen for once. Auto Frame: Camera automatically adjusts view angle to frame all participants in screen every

time when it detects peoples faces or bodies. While in Auto Framing mode, an icon message (as

the icon display, please go to PTZApp 2, find On Screen Menu function and select Off.

This action will be activated while people in the room sit or

stand still for 1~5 seconds, depending on framing speed

you select*. Once all the participants are in frame, the

camera will keep the image stable by not completing any

action until subjects move in or out of the screen. When

people touch the sides of the screen or enter the

120degree lens field of view, it will trigger the camera and automatically track, detect and frame all

the participants again. *The default framing speed is Middle speed. High speed is more suitable for one person tracking.

[Note] CAM130 frames people in masks or any facial

profile up to 5 meters away!

Preset Framing: Set up preset points in advance. (Only for Preset points 1~9. Preset 0 is for

home position). This is designed for requiring a specific zooming area with preferred image

proportion. Camera tracks and frames all the participants in the screen if none of them touch any

21

preset area. When any of them touch a preset area, the camera will immediately shoot the preset

zones instead of focusing and zooming into presenter. To keep the screen stable, whenever there

is a person in the area, the camera wont move any more until no one shows up. However, the

camera can detect the direction where the last person goes. If the person goes to the next preset

area with overlap section, the camera will directly move to the next preset area. Thus, to ensure

smooth transition, please set up zones with overlapping presets. If the preset zones do not overlap and when the last person leave the preset area, camera will

zoom out to wide to find people and frame them again.

If more than 2 presets areas are touched by 2 persons, camera will go to preset 1. The priority is

preset 1>preset2> preset 3.>preset 9
