- Did you know that you can try out Canon’s Auto Tracking Application AddOn for free for 30 days?
The tracking application doesn’t ship by default, so you’ll have to check you have the latest firmware, and then install the Add-On Application.
The minimum firmware versions required for supported Canon PTZ models are:
・CR-N700 [Ver. 1.2.0]
・CR-N500 [Ver. 1.3.0]
・CR-N300 [Ver. 1.3.0]
・CR-N100 [Ver. 1.0.0]
Here are links to make the process easy for you:
• Download latest firmware update - www.canon-europe.com/ptz-came...
• Download Tracking Add-On Application - www.canon-europe.com/support/...
• B&H Affiliate link should you wish to purchase the Tracking License (& support this channel!) - bhpho.to/3wfIrEY
Then join me for Part 1 on today’s (pre-recorded) livestream for a demonstration of how to install the Auto Tracking AddOn Application and how to activate the 30-day free demo license.
Later on, we will look at how to use the tracking through Canon’s web page interface in Part 2, and then in Part 3 we’ll look at integrating it with Companion (of course!)… that’s where the real power comes in to play!

Thank you again David for all your hard and inspiring work, up to hiring a developer, to make our lives easier with our video projects. I can't wait to see what you'll be able to accomplish this time with this auto-tracking feature and companion. Congratulations on your partnership with Canon, I hope it goes beyond a simple developer license and that they will listen and improve. I'm thrilled to learn that for us, regular users, the demo is per camera and not per account. This is great news!
Thanks for your kind comment. I love Canon’s PTZs so I’m excited to see more development in how to integrate them into production ecosystems.
@@davidjoshuaford I know. I'm already a big fan, and we've even interacted in the Canon CR-N PTZs and RC-IP series controllers Facebook user group - just not under the name enkore-productions ;)
Good on ya' getting Canon to step up and help you with showing this off. They couldn't find a better stress test, road test than to let you kick the tires and give an informed opinion. Now doubt Part 2 is going to be a good show. 👍
The irony is I’ve done a ton of work integrating the tracking into Companion, but don’t currently have access to a model to demonstrate
JDF is there anyway to ramp the start and stop of movements for the Canon PTZ cameras?
There’s a Soft Start/ Soft Stop option in the web UI, but it still feels fairly abrupt to me
I have a spare n300 if you'd like to use it for awhile.
That is very generous of you! I have 2x N300s, so my best bet is to have an ongoing license to fully test it out on weekly livestreams. But I appreciate the offer!
@@davidjoshuaford I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were telling someone that you needed one.
All good! I have the camera, need the license. But still appreciate the gesture
Is it not china that is leading. On every street corner you will be tracked. $1200 ?
