Understanding EPTZ Functionality - FAQs
Can I adjust regions or areas of interest with EPTZ?
Yes. EPTZ allows you to select and adjust specific areas within the panoramic image for closer viewing.
What does the “Continue until object disappears” tracking duration mean?
This setting means that a moving object will be tracked from the moment it enters the scene until the moment it exits the scene.
Does EPTZ only record in live view?
Yes. EPTZ recordings are limited to live view, which means you can access the full panoramic video in playback but not the tracking feature which is intended for live monitoring only.
Which NVR-EL recorders support EPTZ?
The EPTZ function is only available on select cameras and 32MP versions of the NVR-EL recorders.
Are EPTZ cameras less reliable because they have more moving parts?
No. Unlike traditional PTZ cameras, EPTZ has no moving parts. This makes it just as reliable—if not more—than other camera types.

With PTZ linkage, you can set rules such as:
- Line crossing
