Visual tracking allows you to track an individual (such as a suspect) across different areas without losing sight of the individual. You need to associate one camera with other cameras nearby so that you can click on the image of this camera to jump to other associated cameras' views. To associate the camera with other cameras nearby, you should create on-video overlays for a camera, thus when you click on the overlays on one camera, it will jump to other cameras during live view or playback.

1. Enter Logical View > Cameras to enter the camera management page.
2. Select one area on the area list and click the camera name in the Name column to enter the Edit Camera page.
3. In the Basic Information, click Visual Tracking to open the Visual Tracking settings window.

   The real-time image of the current camera will be displayed. You can click Refresh to get the latest image of the camera.

4. On the camera list on the left, drag cameras on the captured image of the current camera and place them according to the actual mounting positions to associate them.

5. Optional: To remove the cameras overlaid on the captured image, click the camera icon and click Delete.
6. Click Save.

For example, the following picture shows the surveillance image of camera A in a hallway. There are three directions: B, C, and D, and each direction is monitored by one camera respectively. You can associate camera B, C and D with camera A for visual tracking. When an individual passing by and turns to hallway B, the security personnel can click the area B on the image of camera A to jump to the image of camera B.
