See the Move 4K Autotracking Reference Guide for what each setting does.

Accessing Auto Tracking Settings

Web UI

Step 1: Open the Web Interface

Start by opening the camera's web interface in your browser. Type the camera's IP address into the address bar and navigate to it. You'll be presented with a login screen — enter your credentials to proceed to the main dashboard.

If you need help locating your camera's IP address, refer to your camera's network setup documentation:

• Move 4K Network Setup Guide
• Move SE Network Setup Guide

Step 2: Navigate to the Control Tab

Once logged in, you'll see the main dashboard with a video preview at the top. Directly below the video preview are three tabs: Speed, Image, and Control. Click on the Control tab.

Step 3: Select the Automation Tab

Within the Control tab, you'll find three sub-tabs: Automation, Mode, and Ports. Select the Automation tab to access the auto tracking settings.

Step 4: Configure Your Settings

Automation Mode

At the very top of the Automation tab, you'll see an Automation toggle for switching between Off, Auto Framing, and Auto Tracking.

Time Delay

Below the automation mode toggle, you can enable or disable Time Delay and set a specific delay time before tracking turns on.

Tracking Start Location

Set where the camera should be positioned when auto tracking begins.

Tracking Stop Location

Define where the camera should move when tracking stops.

Target Loss Timeout

Set how long the camera waits before giving up on a lost target, and which preset it moves to when that happens.

For what each of these options actually does, see the Reference Guide linked above.

The Move 4K also offers Presenter Lock Mode™, Horizontal/Vertical Composition, Tracking Sensitivity, and Tracking Zoom Level controls in this same tab — see the Reference Guide for what each of these does.

Step 5: Apply Your Changes

After adjusting any of these settings, click Apply for the changes to take effect.

Remote Control

Using the Remote Control

You can toggle auto tracking on and off using the remote control's F keys:

• F1 – Enable video-based auto framing
• F2 – Enable audio-based auto tracking
• F3 – Enable video-based auto tracking
• F4 – Disable auto tracking
