4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Dual Lens Linkage and PTZ Control
The camera features two lenses: a fixed "bullet" lens (Screen 1) for key areas and a rotating "dome" lens (Screen 2) with 355° pan and 90° tilt. In the app, you can view both screens simultaneously. Clicking on the fixed bullet screen will automatically direct the dome camera to that area.

4.2 AI Human Detection & Auto Tracking
The built-in AI algorithm can distinguish human movement from other objects, reducing false alarms. When a human is detected, the camera will automatically track the subject and send notifications to your mobile phone. After the subject leaves the area, the camera returns to its preset guard position.
