1. System overview
1.1. System introduction
A-TC01 AI Tracking Camera is a dual camera system that allows presenter
tracking without any additional devices. Its dual system means that users can
engage both cameras at the same time – wide angle shot from the lower camera,
and presenter tracking shot from the upper PTZ camera.
A-TC01 AI Tracking Camera features built-in high-speed processor and
advanced image processing and analytical algorithm, which allows it to track and
detect teachers, presenters, students, or other targets in pan-tracking only mode,
as well as board-writing accurately and quickly through either of its cameras. It
fully satisfies plenty of potential scenarios of use in education, corporate,
governmental, and other markets.
A-TC01 AI Tracking Camera adopts advanced ISP processing technique and
algorithm, producing vivid images which feature balanced brightness, distinct
layering, high definition and colour reducibility. This camera is characterized by
its quality tracking, high performance, reliable operation, simple use and easy
maintenance.
1.2. Product advantages
Free installation: The camera supports both front installation and upside-down
installation.
All-in-one design: Capture content with the wide-angle camera and track
presenter with the presenter camera simultaneously.
Sophisticated tracking algorithm: The camera applies sophisticated human
detection, locking and tracking image processing and analytical algorithm (smart
image recognition library, scene adaptive algorithm) and achieves stable, fast
and accurate target tracking.
High resistance to interference: Diversified and flexible recognition shield
settings ensure that once the tracking target is locked, it will not be affected by
other moving objects or projector.
Stable tracking: Movement sensitivity is adjustable. Users can define if they want
tracking to reflect slight movement of target.
Self-adaptive image: A-TC01 can maintain different zoom levels for default view
and tracking view, making sure that presenters are always clearly visible.
High environmental suitability: Tracking effectiveness works equally well
regardless of the classroom shape or seat arrangement.

5
Super wide dynamic exposure: It solves the issue that a tracking object dims
under strong light such as projector.
Networked control interface: Control information of all products is transmitted
via network, and it is suitable for product layout for all scenarios.
1.3. Product features
Full HD image: With 1/2.8 inch high quality image sensor, A-TC01 maximum
resolution ratio reaches 1920x1080.
High zoom level: 20X optical zoom lens makes it possible to use the camera in
medium and large size rooms. The lens features 72.5° distortion-less wide
viewing angle.
Advanced focusing technique: The advanced automatic focusing algorithm
allows automatic focusing to be done quickly, accurately and steadily.
Low noise high signal to noise ratio: Low noise CMOS ensures super high signal
to noise ratio of video taken by the camera. With advanced 2D and 3D noise
reduction technology, noise is reduced and image resolution is guaranteed.
Audio input port: It supports 16000, 32000, 44100, 48000 sampling frequency
and AAC, MP3 and G.711A audio coding.
Super quiet holder: High precision stepping motor and precision motor driven
controller ensure the holder operate at low and stable speed without noise.

4. Configuration tools
4.1. Set IP address of the tracking camera
Open IVESmart configuration tool, click “Settings” -> “IP address” -> “Search”
(refer to Figure 5.1-1 for details), the configuration interface will display all valid
devices in the LAN, check only “Teacher Tracking Camera” and click Confirm.
Note: Computer with IVESmart tool should be in the same LAN with the camera to
be configured.
Figure 4.1.1 Found Device List
4.2. Configure tracking parameters
1. Before configuring the camera, press “Stop” to pause tracking.
2. Press “Config” afterwards.

10
Figure 4.2.1
3. Set general view (panoramic) and presenter view (platform) preset positions.
Please note that Panoramic Position preset is used when no targets are tracked.
Platform Position preset is used when a target is tracked.
Figure 4.2.2

11
4. Draw zones for the presenter pickup (Platform Area), tracking (Teacher Track
Area), and mask areas
Platform area: this is the area where tracking targets are first acquired. Normally,
this area is set up near the blackboard, on top of a platform, podium, or other
place where your tracking targets will be standing in first. We recommend
drawing a rectangle that captures the upper body of your tracking target. For
example, see the figure 4.2.3 below.
Figure 4.2.3
Tracking area: this is the area in which camera will follow your tracking targets.
If the target leaves this area, camera will stop tracking and will default to the
“Target Lost” mode preset. Please note that A-TC01’s tracking mode is pan-only,
and thus changes in the vertical position of a tracking target relative to the
camera will not be adjusted for. For a setting example, see the figure 4.2.4 below:
Figure 4.2.4

12
Mask area: this area is used to cover items and places that may impact tracking
performance, e.g. places with dynamic changes such as TVs, projector displays,
doors, and windows. See Figure 4.2.5 below:
Figure 4.2.5
4.3. Other Tracking Parameters
Target lost: when the camera loses its target, it will return to the designated
preset position. This preset position can be panoramic preset, platform preset or
neither, in which case the camera will maintain its original position.
Figure 4.3.1

13
Track mode:
•Realtime track: camera will adjust image for the target’s minor
movements, e.g. hand waiving.
•Region track: camera will not adjust for minor movements, e.g. hand
waiving.
Others set:
•Report location: this function is not used on A-TC01.
•Camera flip: tick to flip the image vertically.
Advanced parameters:
•Action sensitivity: this slider affects tracking movement sensitivity. Higher
setting will increase sensitivity (thus making camera react to smaller
movements), while lower setting will decrease it (camera will only react to
big movements).
•H-speed: determines the speed of tracking camera for horizontal tracking.
•V-speed: this setting is not used on A-TC01
•Zoom range: this setting is not used on A-TC01
•Lost timeout: this determines how fast the camera will return to “Target
Lost” parameter after losing its tracking target. Default is 5 seconds.
•Down platform sensitivity: determines speed of PTZ movement
Figure 4.3.2

5. Description of recording and broadcasting host
5.1. Auto tracking control
The recording and broadcasting host sends commands by LAN network port or
concentrator RS232 serial port and controls automatic tracking motion of the
tracking camera. When tracking mode is active, camera’s PTZ cannot be
manually controlled; when not in tracking mode, camera can be controlled by
IVESmart configuration tool or remote control.
1. Network receiving address: Address for A-TC01 to receive commands can be
searched in IVESmart configuration tool. Click “Setting” -> “IP Address” (select IP
address of your PC, in the same network as the camera to be configured) ->
