International. Axis Communications added to its AXIS 233D dome network camera a new auto-tracking functionality, which allows the camera to automatically detect people or moving vehicles and follow them within the coverage area. Auto-tracking functionality is especially beneficial in unattended video surveillance systems where the occasional presence of people or vehicles requires special attention. Ken Fransson, product manager at Axis Communications, explains that "in situations where there are no operators to control the video system, auto-tracking substantially reduces the costs of the solution due to the smaller number of cameras needed to cover a given area, in addition to increasing the effectiveness of the solution." Since auto-tracking is available as a feature of AXIS 233D, owners of this camera model can install it for free by downloading the latest firmware version from the Axis website (http://www.axis.com).
