4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Dual Lens System and Hybrid Zoom
The camera features an advanced dual-lens system, combining a 3.6mm lens for wide-angle overview and an 8mm lens for detailed close-ups. This allows for simultaneous monitoring of broad areas and specific details. The 10x hybrid zoom (6x optical + 4x digital) enables magnification of distant objects without significant loss of image quality.

4.2. Smart Human Detection and Auto-Tracking
The camera's intelligent detection system accurately distinguishes human figures, significantly reducing false alarms from animals, rain, or foliage. Upon detecting a person, the camera automatically tracks their movement, keeping them within the frame.
