Set up Auto Tracking Schedule.

Click the drag-down of Schedule. Select Enable/Disable and click the grid (each representing one hour).

Or you can drag the cursor to enable or disable the grid quickly.

When the grid is blue, it means the camera will automatically track the object in that hour once triggered.

For example, the schedule above means the camera will not track automatically from 0:00 to 14:00 on Tuesday.

Set up a Time to Stop Auto Tracking.

Click the drag-down on Object Stops and on Object Disappears.

You can decide when the camera stops tracking after the object stops moving and after the object disappears from the camera's view.
