Q: Are object tracking & tracked object information supported? #63

Closed eecharlie closed 2 months ago

eecharlie commented 5 months ago

I think the answer is no after checking the manufacturer API guide and looking through the source a bit (I haven't tried using the library), but I thought I'd ask. I'm interested in a project where tracked object data would be used to override/implement pan/tilt tracking that keeps the tracked object centered in the overall image and was wondering if the TrackMix would support this.

Or, supposing the object detection & tracking are done separately e.g. in Frigate NVR, are there API commands to make specific (coordinate-based) pan/tilt operations? I saw the up/down left/right but it's unclear whether this moves a fixed amount per command, initiates motion that needs to be stopped, or something else.

What is GetPtzTraceSection used for?

Thanks!

No there is no position information of detected objects. You only get True/False for detection of people, pet, vehicle etc. (and push notifications).

GetPtzTraceSection is for the limits of the autoTracking.

zoom can be controlled as a absolute number. pan/tilt can only be controlled with move operations that will start moving the camera indefinetly untill the stop command is supplied. Doing a specific step involves sending e.g. "pan left" then a delay of eg. 0.5 seconds then "ptz stop"

Hope this gives you enough info.
