Our CP52-E PTZ camera utilizes “Sentry Mode” to automatically follow individuals that cross into its field of view. Now, to provide additional coverage and peace-of-mind, we’re excited to introduce contextual triggers for our CP52-E—allowing site or organization administrators to pair up to three trigger cameras with their PTZ. When a trigger camera detects a person within its field of view, it will automatically notify the associated PTZ to pan, tilt, and zoom to the region of activity. Once focused on the detected person, the PTZ will follow the individual in Sentry Mode before returning to its previous position.

The following cameras can be used as trigger cameras to initiate PTZs’ directional point and Sentry Mode: CD22/CD22-E, CD32/CD32-E, CD42/CD42-E, CD52/CD52-E, CD62/CD62-E, CM22, CM42, CB52-E/CB62-E, CB52-TE/CB62-TE and CH52-E.
