Auto-Tracking Systems

AREC produces standalone AI and IR auto-tracking cameras, and speaker tracking stations that rely on discussion system integrations.

AREC IR tracking cameras are the easiest solution to always keep your presenter in focus, without the need for a camera operator. The cameras track IR positioners, which are available in two form factors — a wearable lanyard (AM-600), or a microphone-attachable accessory (AM-360). With an AM-600, a presenter can be followed around a space effortlessly, regardless of people around them. With the AM-360, tracking audience members and stage presenters alike becomes a breeze. AREC’s tracking cameras are compatible with all leading conferencing, recording, and streaming solutions.

AREC’s speaker tracking stations are integrated with a variety of popular congress microphone system brands, including Televic, Shure, Audio-Technica, Bosch, and many others. Designed to make meeting discussions and conferencing more productive and smarter, the devices automatically display active speakers using PTZ cameras. The stations can combine these views with other video sources, logos, titles, background imagery, and other design elements, all at the same time. The solutions do not require licences or programming to work, simplifying installation and usage greatly.

DS-9CU

The DS-9CU is a powerful speaker tracking system that can use up to 9 video sources to automatically display active speakers in integrated discussion systems. Acting as a virtual operator, it ensures participants are always visible during events, town hall or council meetings, and videoconference calls with custom image and text-based graphical elements — without any human input.
The station does not require any licences or programming to function. It is integrated with a wide range of discussion systems from leading brands, including the full Televic range, Shure, Audio-Technica, Bosch, and others. Thanks to these integrations, configuration takes mere minutes and can be done even by users without IT or AV experience. Additionally, the DS-9CU can be used manually without a discussion system via regular browsers, mobile phones and tablets using the adapted web UI, RS-232 and TCP commands, as well as HTTP API.

This model admits video sources via HDMI, USB, and various protocols, including SRT and NDI|HX. It supports 4K inputs and outputs, and is also capable of streaming in 4K all by itself. Just like other AREC products, the DS-9CU is a flexible, third-party-friendly device that can control PTZ cameras from other manufacturers using VISCA, VISCA-over-IP, ONVIF profile S, PELCO D/P, and other supported protocols.

DS-4CU

The DS-4CU is an automatic speaker tracking station designed to use up to 4 video sources to display speakers in conference rooms, council chambers, auditoriums, and other venues. It relies on integrations with popular discussion system brands such as Televic, Shure, Audio-Technica, Bosch, and others, delivering dynamic speaker tracking without any licencing or programming costs. Each speaker can be presented with custom overlays and backgrounds featuring names, titles, organisational branding, and other user-defined elements.

Even without a discussion system, the DS-4CU is a smart choice for combining multiple HDMI, VGA, and network video sources, thanks to its robust processing capabilities. It functions as a video mixer, switcher, and camera controller, adding a wealth of functionality to AV systems and Zoom or Teams rooms. It can also act as a webcam for conferencing software — all within a budget-friendly solution.

CI-T21H

The CI-T21H is a Full HD PTZ auto-tracking network camera with 10x optical zoom that uses infrared (IR) technology to follow targets within an effective range of 3 to 10 metres. It relies on positioners — small IR lanyards (AM-600) or microphone-mounted accessories (AM-360) — which ensure precise and reliable tracking, as only individuals wearing these positioners will
be followed. IR tracking works out of the box, and its simplicity and dependability make it ideal for crowded environments, stage use, or for tracking audience members asking questions.

The CI-T21H includes a unique feature called Individual Target Tracking (ITT) mode. It enables the camera to be paired with another IR tracking camera (CI-T10 or CI-T21H) to follow two separate targets simultaneously in the same space. This makes it particularly well-suited to scenarios with two presenters, as each camera stays focused on its assigned subject.

The camera features HDMI, USB, and network outputs, all capable of delivering up to 1080p60 resolution simultaneously. This makes it an excellent choice for AREC Media Stations, conferencing software and hardware solutions, and other types of AV systems.

CI-T10

The CI-T10 is a Full HD PTZ auto-tracking network camera with 10x optical zoom that uses infrared (IR) technology to follow targets within an effective range of 3 to 10 metres. It relies on positioners — small IR lanyards (AM-600) or microphone-mounted accessories (AM-360) — which ensure precise and reliable tracking, as only individuals wearing these positioners will be followed. IR tracking works out of the box, and its simplicity and dependability make it ideal for crowded environments, stage use, or for tracking audience members asking questions.

Just like the CI-T21H, the CI-T10 automatically adjusts zoom based on target’s distance, removing the need for a camera operator. Tracking parameters such as zoom ratio, X and Y offsets, and more can all be configured using AREC’s free software.

The CI-T10 is designed for projects with budget-conscious projects in mind and features USB and network outputs that deliver up to 1080p30 resolution.

A-TC02

The A-TC02 is a Full HD PTZ auto-tracking network camera with 20x optical zoom that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to follow targets within an effective range of up to 15 metres. It offers two tracking modes: the camera can either freely follow the first detected person, or track subjects using preconfigured zones and combinations of zoom and coordinate presets. RADA AI tracking cameras operate without the need for additional software and are configured via their built-in web interface, making them quick and easy to set up.

The A-TC02 features HDMI, USB, 3G-SDI, and network outputs, all of which can be used simultaneously to deliver video at up to 1080p60 resolution. In addition to standard network video protocols such as RTSP, RTP, and RTMP, the camera also supports NDI|HX and SRT — making it an ideal choice for a wide range of AV systems. A 3.5mm audio line-in allows the A-TC02 to be used as a standalone streaming device for platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and more.

A-TC04

The A-TC04 is a 4K UHD PTZ auto-tracking network camera with 25x optical zoom that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to follow targets within an effective range of up to 20 metres. It offers two tracking modes: the camera can either freely follow the first detected person, or track subjects using preconfigured zones and combinations of zoom and coordinate presets. RADA AI tracking cameras operate without the need for additional software and are configured via their built-in web interface, making them quick and easy to set up.

The A-TC04 features HDMI, USB, 3G-SDI, and network outputs, all of which can be used simultaneously. HDMI and network outputs support up to 2160p60, while the USB interface delivers up to 2160p30. In addition to standard network video protocols such as RTSP, RTP, and RTMP, the camera also supports NDI|HX and SRT — making it an ideal choice for a wide range of AV systems. A 3.5mm audio line-in allows the A-TC04 to function as a standalone streaming device for platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and more.
