What is AXIS Autotracking?

AXIS Autotracking is a suite of applications developed by AXIS Communications that enable automatic detection, tracking, and management of moving objects using Axis network cameras. These applications enhance surveillance capabilities by automatically zooming in on and following moving objects, facilitating more effective monitoring and incident management. Different versions and types of auto-tracking applications are tailored to specific needs and camera types, including fixed cameras and PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras.

AXIS Digital Autotracking 2

AXIS Digital Autotracking 2 is specifically designed for fixed-megapixel cameras. This application detects, zooms in on, and follows moving objects like people and vehicles. It is beneficial in low-traffic areas like parking lots and perimeters and during non-working hours in various facilities. The application operates efficiently under different lighting conditions and can be configured to ignore disturbances such as swaying trees or small animals, thus reducing false alarms.

Key features of AXIS Digital Autotracking 2 include:

• Automatic object detection and tracking.
• Reduction in bandwidth and storage needs by focusing only on areas with motion.
• Compatibility with all AXIS P and Q line megapixel fixed cameras that support the AXIS Camera Application Platform.
• Integration with the camera’s internal event management system for various notifications and actions.

AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ

AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ is designed to automatically control the direction and zoom level of PTZ cameras. This application uses motion data from AXIS security radars to detect and track objects, optimizing camera views for better surveillance coverage. It is compatible with various Axis PTZ cameras and can be integrated into a video management system for enhanced functionality.

AXIS Perimeter Defender PTZ Autotracking

This application syncs a PTZ camera with a fixed camera running AXIS Perimeter Defender analytics. It enables the PTZ camera to automatically zoom in and track alarm objects detected by the fixed camera. This setup allows for detailed close-up views without compromising the overall surveillance coverage. The application is ideal for high-security perimeter protection and can be used in various settings, such as construction sites and parking lots.

Each version of AXIS Autotracking is tailored to specific types of cameras and surveillance needs, offering flexible and powerful tools for modern security systems. These applications help reduce the manual effort required to monitor large areas and enhance the surveillance system’s effectiveness by focusing on relevant incidents as they occur.
