In the recent debates of Axis against Hikvision, a feature like this is a good differentiator for Axis that they should promote more.
Rather than have all your fixed 1080p or higher MP cameras stationary, having them digitally track subjects is quite useful for live operators to keep them focused / attentive to things of interest.
One downside, though, is if scenes go from low to high traffic. During low traffic times, it's likely useful but during high traffic ones, it would likely bounce around unhelpfully. The operator would likely then need to switch to the 'regular' / full stream view.

VideoIQ used to have this feature in the View software. It still works in Avigilon View but hasn't been pushed to ACC. I hope it does at some point. When your looking at many cameras on one screen or trying to figure out what event trigged the alarm the auto digital zoom is very useful.

Are monitors falling behind in the resolution race? Apple has a 5K IMac. LG has an 8K monitor coming. Sony's new 4k smartphone.

This on the face of it a great differentiator for Axis. The set up reminds me of the early days of VMD (Video Motion Detection).. I remember haveing to block out the trees and bushes, then a parked car in the sun has a hot spot reflection and it goes off. I think this will really kick off when Axis (or someone) can enable a 3D setup, such as we are seeing in modern analytics.. That will be the game changer..

Great subject. I Agree. 3D setting is the only way to decrease false alarms when you are working with a deep Fov.
An other trick is to use dual/tripple trigger alarms (detect and cross for example, detect and face , or detect and track during minimum 3 meters, aso )
