ABSTRACT:
A system and related method are provided for automated positioning of camera. The system includes a remote control configured to generate a spot signal in response to input from a user. The camera generates image data of the camera's field of view. The camera is captures the spot signal within the image data. The camera includes a positioning subsystem configured to orient the camera. The system further includes a processing subsystem configured to identify the location of the spot signal within the image data. Based upon the identified location, the processing subsystem provides instructions to the positioning subsystem to reorient the camera. In this manner, users of the system can align the camera upon a prescribed location, without needing to monitor camera output to ensure proper alignment.
