The Autotracking feature on Axis P5655-E PTZ cameras is designed to automatically follow moving objects within the camera’s field of view. It combines the camera’s pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) capabilities with intelligent tracking so the camera can keep a moving target in focus without manual control
