How to set up smart tracking on a Hikvision PTZ using VCA

In this week’s video Dave Davies shows you how to set up smart tracking using the VCA analytics built into the PTZ. In this demonstration we are using a Hikvision Darkfighter X PTZ.

This video is perfect! Thank you so much, was struggeling with tracking, but now my camera is working just as i want it to! Thanks for spending your time educating others!

Hi, yes, the 2DE4A model has basic smart tracking whereas the DF models have been updated to Smart track engine V2.0, which has target classification and you can adjust the confidence settings to keep it tracking certain objects

Brilliant video worked a treat...Thanks

Great videos and thorough explanations. All my gear is Hikvision so when setting up events which piece of equipment takes precedence? For example if I set up a Intrusion Detection event on the camera do I also have to duplicate those parameters in the NVR and IVMS-4200 or does one of them over-rule the other? My config: Cameras>NVR (for recording)>PC (IVMS-4200). Thanks

Hi Dave. Thank you very much for all you videos, they are really helpful. I have a situation and I would like to know if you can give some advise. I need to buy a PTZ camera with auto tracking and/or small tracking but exactly what I need is that the camera had the ability to perform a patrol but at the same time during the patrol movement be able to detect targets and track them (doing the zoom also, stopping the movement tracking the target and later back to continue to the patrol movement). I can see that the PTZ cameras (like in this video) are able to do the job when it is parked in a position, but, those features work also during patrol movement?. All the Hikvision PTZ cameras with auto tracking / smart tracking can be used in the described scenario?
I really appreciate your advise.
Thank you very much

Hi Dave.. ive set up lots of Hikvision equipment thanks to your videos. i have a question for you. on the speed dome with tracking, can you set up different zoom functions per area of detection. Area 1 needs to be zoomed further in and 2, 3 and 4 less. Also will the tracking work from a patrol with different rest positions having different areas of detection. Thanks

How do I know what ptz is compatible with my nvr

[josequeiros]

Hello, can you tell me how to activate the camera, to receive email alerts and at the same time activate auto tracking on my NVR.
Thanks if you can help me

[MrMr]

I don’t get the PTZ icon on the NVR, do you have to set this up as an ip camera stand alone

Hi, what is the cheapest version/lowest models with smart tracking? And next cheapest/lowest with classification and smart? (I would like to filter by this feature on Hik site but can't :( )

Hi, I have a hikevison PTZ poe plus camera and two static cameras running of a hikevison poe switch as the power and data source... I have cat 6 cable installed and its good quality cable . The ptz is around 20 metres away, the static around 30 and the other also 30

Every couple of days the cameras go offline and reboot a few hours later??? Any ideas? Am I expecting too much from the 4 port swith that it actually knocks off all 3 cameras ?
