The autotracker will add PTZ motion requests to a queue while the motor is moving. Once the motor stops, the events in the queue will be executed together as one large move (rather than incremental moves). If your PTZ's motor is slow, you may not be able to reliably autotrack fast moving objects. The autotracker will add PTZ motion requests to a queue while the motor is moving.

Zooming is an experimental feature. It may be helpful to tweak your camera's autofocus settings if you are noticing focus problems when using zooming.
## Usage applications ## Usage applications
In security and surveillance, it's common to use "spotter" cameras in combination with your PTZ. When your fixed spotter camera detects an object, you could use an automation platform like Home Assistant to move the PTZ to a specific preset so that Frigate can begin automatically tracking the object. For example: a residence may have fixed cameras on the east and west side of the property, capturing views up and down a street. When the spotter camera on the west side detects a person, a Home Assistant automation could move the PTZ to a camera preset aimed toward the west. When the object enters the specified zone, Frigate's autotracker could then continue to track the person as it moves out of view of any of the fixed cameras.
