Object tracking allows you to visually track the movement of objects in a camera FOV or in a video recording in an archive.

Note
titleAttention!

Object tracking is available if a camera has at least one source of metadata (see Metadata database).

Object tracking has the following functions:

  1. recognizes the presence of a moving object and dynamically marks it with a transparent rectangle on the video image;
  2. displays the track of the object's movement.

Motion is detected based on the gradient of the inner-frame time difference of the video image.

To enable object tracking, select Show tracking in the context menu of the Surveillance window.
