Built-in Auto-Tracking Feature
The AW-UE40, AW-UE50 and AW-UE80 now also have the option for built-in auto-tracking, with the ability to track one-person at a time, within frame, without an external PC or server. This auto-tracking feature has quick response times and accurate human body recognition – perfect for corporations, colleges/universities, and other facilities that rely on presentation spaces. Panasonic Connect also offers external, software-based auto-tracking, like the AW-SF100, ideal for presentations with multiple people and cameras.
PRO PTZ Camera Auto Tracking
The use of high-performance motion detection and high-accuracy facial recognition enables high-precision auto tracking of the subject with minimal tracking errors, regardless of the direction the person is facing, even in situations where a lecturer is writing on a blackboard with his/her back to the camera. In addition, since this function does detection/tracking with streaming video from the camera, it is not necessary to have the video capture board typically needed for capture on a PC. This reduces the processing load for video capture, thereby eliminating the need for a high-performance PC.
Utilizing a template matching and motion detection technology in conjunction with high quality streaming video over IP, the AW-SF100 auto-tracking software allows for automated tracking of the person/object without the need for any external devices or transmitters. The tracking technology is fine-tuned to keep tracking a person even when he/she turns away from the camera. Though one PTZ camera works at one time on one software, up to 10 PTZ cameras can be registered to one software, which helps you to switch between the cameras with just a few clicks.
Easy to Use Software
The auto-tracking settings can be easily adjusted with an intuitive GUI which only highlights the necessary icons to minimize the setup labor and assist you in smooth operation. Tracking adjustment tools, such as masking, limiters, tracking disable zone and sensitivity level adjustment are also available.
4K Crop Tracking
Utilizing the auto tracking software with the AW-UE150 PRO PTZ camera enables tracking of up to 3 people by utilizing the 4K crop feature.
Auto Zoom
If you enable the “Auto” button at the bottom of the zoom slider on the GUI, the automatic zoom adjustment function will work to keep the size of the subject constant. The size of the subject can also be changed from the Auto Zoom Size according to the purpose and situation. Even if the subject moves back and forth as well as left and right at a new product launch event at a company or a lecture at a university, it is possible to track and shoot the subject with the composition you want.
Link with a wide-angle camera
By linking a wide-angle camera as a bird's-eye view camera, you can improve the stability of the tracking function. As long as the bird's-eye view camera captures the subject, it will immediately rediscover the tracking subject even if the tracking camera loses its target and resume tracking. The bird's-eye view camera’s images can be used not only for tracking correction, but also for confirming the overview of the shooting and for live-streaming. It will support efficient camera operation in video production sites where mistakes cannot be tolerated, such as live streaming.
AW-SF200: Auto Tracking Server
The auto tracking server brings a new dimension to your live production. Whether you are covering an entire campus of lecture halls or a multitude of breakout sessions at an exhibit hall, it helps reduce the complexity of camera operation at such a massive scale. Camera operation can simply run on autopilot, and the amount of resources needed for camera monitoring can be heavily reduced.

IP-Based Software: Remote Operation
Adoption of IP-based software brings you system flexibility and allows for IP connection (IP streaming/IP control), installation/operation of the camera in a classroom in a remote location.
Simple Installation
If the Auto-Tracking Software is installed on a PC*1 or Server, it is possible to easily set up an auto tracking system by connecting an AW-UE70W/K 4K integrated camera or an AW-HE40 Series or AW-HE130W/K HD integrated camera. New installation of sensors and other equipment are not necessary. Since the system configuration is simple and new devices do not need to be added, the initial cost can be reduced.
- *1: This refers to the application version. If the Web application version is to be used, the Auto-Tracking Software is installed on an HTTP server and used from there.
PC, Web or Server Based Options
You can choose to use AW-SF100 as a Web application, so it also supports control from a tablet, smartphone, desktop PC, etc. Providing centralized control of multiple cameras, AW-SF200 uses a floating license for flexible operations matched to the user environment.
AW-SF100 System Example: Lecture Capture (Classroom)
Auto tracking and control of one camera with one PC.
AW-SF200 System Example: Lecture Capture (Entire Campus)
Use of central servers for simultaneous auto tracking and centralized control of multiple cameras in a large hall and cameras in multiple classrooms.
