Key features of the upgrade include:

  • Advanced Multi-Person Framing: The upgraded firmware introduces enhanced multi-person framing capabilities, enabling the PTZ cameras to automatically and naturally frame up to eight individuals within a single shot. This dynamic feature adapts seamlessly to varying group sizes and compositions, ensuring a balanced and engaging visual presentation. The SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 cameras now intelligently select and adjust framing around primary subjects while including surrounding individuals, preserving a natural and dynamic composition.
  • Enhanced Face Registration and Tracking: The new firmware also boasts improved face registration technology, capable of identifying and tracking up to 40 indexed faces. This feature ensures precise tracking of the intended subject, even if the camera briefly focuses on another individual. By automatically maintaining focus on the designated person, whether in isolation or within a group, the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 cameras enhance user experience with reduced errors and superior tracking performance.
