Interface Descriptions .
SimplTrack Software .
Main Interface .
The main interface offers the ability to interact with the basic features of the camera not
directly relating to auto-tracking in addition to providing a live preview.
Clicking the magnifying glass in the Camera List section will show the available auto tracking
cameras on a network. Simply double click on an available camera to connect.
Under Lens Control, standard controls are available for Zoom (Tele / Wide), Focus (Near / Far),
Iris (Open / Close), and Iris Reset.
The Presets section will Set, Call, and Clear Presets 0-255. Note that Preset 1 is used as a
reference for framing your tracking subject and Preset 0 is typically used for framing your stage /
podium.
The White Balance drop down menu allows Automatic or One-Push for white balance settings;
more options are available via the On-Screen-Display (OSD).
The PTZ Controls section serves two functions: first, to provide Pan and Tilt controls when not in
an auto-tracking mode, the other is to control the OSD using the Menu button.
Ver. 1.5 – 11.08.17
Page13
Tracking Control starts or stops the auto-tracking mode.
Advanced Parameters allows you to setup the auto-tracking mode parameters.
Configure Network .
The Camera List section will display available auto tracking cameras on your network. Simply
double click on an available camera to connect.
For streaming to an RTMP Server, such as YouTube Live, enter the RTMP URL / Key into the
available textbox and click the save icon.
The RTSP Port field will alter the port associated with RTSP streaming; this can be verified by
looking at the text shown below the RTSP Port field, showcasing the ports currently used by the
camera and software.
The Network Type determines if the camera will use DHCP (default) to connect to a network or
allows the assignment of a Static IP, in the event DHCP will not work for a network.
Ver. 1.5 – 11.08.17
Page14
Configure System .
The System interface updates the name associated with the camera, password, RTSP output
settings, and reboot the camera remotely.
The Camera name shows in the Camera List when you are searching for your SimplTrack on the
network.
Update PWD updates the password associated with the web interface of the camera as long as
the existing password is available (Default password is “admin”).
The RTSP section adjusts the frames per second, resolution, and bitrate of the main and sub
RTSP feeds.
Note: To pull the main RTSP stream please use the following URL
rtsp://<camera ip>:<rtsp port>/main.h264
(example: rtsp://192.168.111.85:3750/main.h264)
Note: To pull the sub RTSP stream please use the following URL
rtsp://<camera ip>:<rtsp port>/sub.h264
(example: rtsp://192.168.111.85:3750/sub.h264)
The Reboot button will reboot the camera from the software.
Ver. 1.5 – 11.08.17
Page15
Configure Local SD Card Recording .
The SD Card interface allows the parameters regarding how and when the camera records
content to its internal 64GB of storage.
This interface can start or stop the internal recordings by clicking the Enable Recording
checkbox and clicking Save.
The camera can be set to record once booted up or manually told to record via this interface,
additionally setting whether the system will continually overwrite content or stop once full.
The cameras recording settings regarding frame rate, resolution, and bitrate can bet set via this
interface.
This interface will also allow you to clear all data currently stored on the internal SD Card using
the Empty Card button.
Please note: The internal SD Card is for backups only. It’s not recommended to use as main video
storage device.
Ver. 1.5 – 11.08.17
Page16
Configure Advanced Parameters .
When entering the Advanced Parameters settings interface, the live preview will switch to a
split-screen showing the images from both the reference camera and the tracking camera. This
is where all features relating to auto-tracking can be setup.
Under the Basic Settings section, the SDI Output resolution and frame rate can be set in
addition to protocol settings for the RS-232 connection.
Clicking Set in the Tracking Zone section will allow you to draw a green rectangle to define a
priority tracking area. Within the Tracking Zone you can set Blocking Zones, these are areas that
the camera will ignore motion within, such as a doorway with people walking by or an LCD
screen with active video content displayed. Note that the Blocking Zones must be used within
the Tracking Zone.
Tracking Setting will define what actions the camera is allowed to perform. Auto-Tilt can be
used if the subject will be walking towards and away from the camera to maintain the best
possible tilt angle as referenced from Preset 1. Free Track will allow the camera to follow any
moving object even if it is not within the priority tracking zone. Permanent Track allows the
presenter to venture beyond the defined priority tracking zone and still have auto-tracking
capabilities. It is advisable to disable auto-tilt with the last two options to avoid unexpected and
extreme tilt angles. Auto Zoom, when enabled, will allow the camera to maintain the framing as
referenced from Preset 1, and limited by the Zoom Limit, as the subject moves towards or away
from the camera.
Ver. 1.5 – 11.08.17
Page17
Configure Advanced Parameters (Continued) .
Tracking Parameters will determine how the tracking system should behave in regards to
speeds, limits, and what to do when the subject is lost. Tracking Sensitivity defines how much
motion (Low for a little and High for a lot) is needed to trigger the auto tracking feature. Pan
Speed and Tilt Speed will control the speed at which the auto tracking is allowed to pan and tilt
respectively. Zoom Limit allows you to define how much the camera is allowed to intelligently
zoom to maintain framing as referenced from Preset 1 when Auto-Zoom is enabled. The Lost
Timeout allows you to set a time frame for when to respond to the subject being lost ranging
from 1 second to 7 seconds.
The Object Lost Action tells the camera to go to Preset 0, Preset 1 or to Stay when the Lost
Timeout has been triggered.
Startup Action allows the camera to default to auto-tracking when turned on or to wait for a
user to click the Start button under Tracking Control to turn on the tracking feature.
When all settings are finalized do not forget to click the Save button! Clicking OK will exit the
Advanced Parameters section and return the live preview to the tracking camera feed only.
Note that when working with multiple SimplTrack systems you can ensure you are working on
live settings for each camera by clicking the Inquire button to query the connected camera for
its current settings.

Tips and Tricks .
The “Stage”: Imagine your subject moving around within the available presentation space and take note
of the extremes, left or right and up or down, your presenter may happen to present from. The area you
have just noted is what we will call our stage and is what you want to ensure is captured by the reference
camera. Within this stage we normally want to set the priority tracking area to slightly above the
presenter’s head for the top boundary and just above the audience’s heads for the bottom boundary.
Shot Composition: For a nice tight shot around the subject, the camera must be within 55’ of the subject.
Beyond that, composition will be sacrificed for distance.
Motion: The faster the subject moves, the larger the shot composition should be. Depending on the
subject, and desired impact, this is something that can require a bit of trial and error to find that perfect
composition to high motion ratio.
Keep it Simple: When diving into the Advanced Parameters section of the software, think about what
you’re trying to capture. Only enable the features you need to properly track within your “stage.” As an
example, if you have a presenter at the front of the room only moving left or right do not enable AutoZoom or Auto-Tilt, as you’re just inviting undesired tracking results.
Plan Ahead: Before any event, large or small, test your entire setup as far in as possible. Waiting until the
last minute is never a good idea.
Care of the Unit .
Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower (commercially available).

Troubleshooting .
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
No movement or
image after power on
Power supply failure
Check power supply
Power adapter damaged
Replace power adapter
Power cable connection is loose
Check & reconnect
No self-testing after
powered on, or with
motor noise
Not enough power
Check & reconnect power cable
connection
Mechanical failure
Send for authorized repair
After power on, selftest successfully, but
not controllable
Wrong address / protocol / baud rate
Check & set again
Wrong connection or open circuit of RS485/RS422 or RS-232 cable
Check & reconnect
Video loss when
pans / tilts / zooms
Not enough power
Check & reconnect power cable
Video cable not properly connected
Replace with a tested cable
Auto tracking has
locked on the wrong
subject / object with
no motion
Lack of adequate lighting on the subject
Increase proper lighting on subject
/ stage. If the problem persists
attempt to move the camera
closer to the stage.
Too complex of a scene with slightly
improper lighting
The tracking camera
seems to be off from
the reference camera
settings
The camera has been moved
Manually move camera back into
place or rebuild tracking zones
A manual tracking / reference camera
recalibration is required
Enter the Advanced Parameters
settings and click the Pos Correct
button. Once the tracking camera
stops moving, align the crosshairs
of the tracking camera to match
the crosshairs of the reference
camera.
The camera is tracking
slightly below or
above the subject
A manual height recalibration is required
Enter the Advanced Parameters
settings and click the Debug
button. Have your subject stand in
place within facing the tracking
camera. Once a rectangle is
around the face, use the Up and
Down buttons to adjust tracking
height.
Having trouble finding
/ connecting to
camera on the
network
No DHCP Server available
Connect to camera and set a static
IP in the Configuration interface
Multiple Network Connections
Disable any secondary and or
tertiary network connections on
your Windows PC
