SimplTrack3 - Firmware Changelog
Change Log
New Features
Tracking Enhancement
-
Tracking Start/Stop Location Options Added configurable start and stop position options for tracking, allowing users to define the camera’s position when tracking is enabled or disabled within Automation > Settings. Users can select from Presets 0–9, Home, or choose to keep the camera in its current position (“Stay in Place”), providing greater control over camera behavior during tracking transitions.
-
Target Lost Action - Options Added new configuration options for where the camera moves when a tracked subject is lost within Automation > Settings. Available options include Presets 0–9, Home, or Stay in Place.
-
Image Orientation and Inverted Tracking Control in Web UI Added an Image Orientation control under Image > Advanced in the Web UI Dashboard. Previously, this setting was only available through the OSD menu. The available options are Flip, Mirror, and Flip & Mirror. Flip & Mirror settings allow the camera to be installed in an inverted position and support inverted tracking operation.
Behavior Notes
-
Zoom While Tracking: Enabled - Composition Behavior When Zoom While Tracking is enabled, the camera’s zoom level and subject framing are determined by the Zoom Limit setting (values 0–7): 0–2: Close-up view 3–5: Half-body view 6–7: Whole-body view Value 4 is recommended for typical use cases.
-
Zoom While Tracking: Disabled – Preset Behavior When Zoom While Tracking is disabled, the camera uses Preset 1 (Subject Preset) to determine the zoom level during tracking.
-
Tilt While Tracking Disabled - Zoom Behavior When Tilt while Tracking is set to Off, zoom adjustments are disabled during tracking. The camera maintains the zoom level defined by preset 1.
