The CV30 camera features automated tracking that uses the 4K image sensor, 84O field of view (FOV) and electronic pan, tilt, zoom (ePTZ) capability to maintain the view of the instructor in the class. The instructor is able to move freely within the classroom view creating an enriched learning experience for the remote students.

Using tracking:
Pressing the tracking button on the remote will turn the tracking feature on. Through the on-screen display menu, adjustments can be made to the zoom level, area and mode. The default settings for tracking are:
- Automated: Off
- Zoom level: Medium
- Area: Full
- Mode: Auto
Depending on the tracking mode, one person or multiple people in the view will be tracked at a time. The camera view will zoom, pan or tilt to track the selected people. When there is nobody in the tracking area the camera will zoom out to the full view.
Please see the articles below for more information about using the remote control, setting tracking modes and adjusting the tracking area.
In scenarios where the presenter would like to move throughout the room and provide a more engaging environment, allow the camera to track the primary presentation area. This creates a dedicated presentation view for the remote participants as well as a more fluid and less restrictive experience
For scenarios when the local and remote participants need to focus solely on a dedicated area, pressing any of the preset camera buttons on the remote (1, 2 or 3) will stop tracking and switch to the specific preset view. Tracking can easily be enabled again by pressing the tracking buttons on the remote.
