mylumens LC300 CaptureVision System With 4 Channel Recorder and Streaming Media Processor Owner’s Manual

Pair Lumens VC-TR40 PTZ cameras with CaptureVision LC300/LC300S to enable the Intelligent Director function. Each VC-TR40 PTZ camera needs to run the VC-TR40 AT firmware which can be downloaded from the Lumens website. The AT firmware only differs from the standard version in tracking functions; all other functions are the same.

What is the difference between VC-TR40 & VC-TR40 AT?

VC-TR40 and VC-TR40 AT firmware have different tracking functions.
a. VC-TR40 tracks or frames a target in the tracking zone. Available modes:
• Everywhere Tracking, Stage Tracking, Partition Tracking, Auto Framing, Partition Framing
b. VC-TR40 AT offers two modes:
• Presenter Mode: The camera tracks the target within the tracking zone. Tracking behavior is the same as VC-TR40 Everywhere Tracking.
• Audience Mode: The camera starts tracking when it detects a target standing up and stops when the target sits down.
