Limiting the panning range?

[allanfwong]

hi there,

 

is is there a way to limit the range of movement that the Pan can go to? Sometimes it tries to track motion and ends up staring directly at a wall and then can’t find its way back to facing “front”.

I don’t use motion tracking on my one Pan Cam, but I’m thinking you could set up Pan Scan with a single waypoint so it would always return to that one point.

I’ve done that (setting a single way point so it always resets) but what ends up happening is that I get:

waypoint —> cold shoulder —> waypoint —> cold shoulder …

 

it it always tries to track and ends up looking at a wall when it “anticipates” too far. Kinda defeats the purpose of the pan and motion tracking function.

 

Limiting the range of motion would at least minimize cold shoulder issues.

Direction Limits For Wyze Cam Pan Motion Tracking

Our motion tracking is not quite as accurate as we would like and we’re working on that. In the meantime, adding direction limits to Wyze Cam Pan will help prevent the camera from overshooting and getting focused on an area that the owner doesn’t care about watching (or would rather not prioritize). This would also add the ability to prevent Wyze Cam Pan from looking at televisions or areas of the room considered to be more private (like the bed area in a bedroom). Best, WyzeGwendolyn

Where do we edit the “direction limits” for the Cam Pan? I’m new and don’t seem to be able to find that feature.

Thanks,
