Trackmind v1.2

Full Changelog: 1.1...v1.2

Release 1.1

Trackmind 1.1 brings a major settings overhaul, new profile management, an auto-updater, and polished installer and
app branding.

What's New

• Redesigned Settings Panel — The settings UI has been rebuilt from the ground up with a cleaner layout, better
  organization, and improved usability across all configuration options.
• Profile Management — Save, load, and delete named configuration profiles directly from the settings panel. Switch
  between different tracking setups instantly without re-entering values.
• Auto-Updater — Trackmind now checks for new versions on startup and notifies you when an update is available.
• App Icon & Branding — The application now ships with a proper icon and updated installer assets under the Trackmind
  name.
• Dynamic Versioning — Version information is now pulled dynamically rather than hardcoded, making future releases
  cleaner to manage.

Fixes & Cleanup

• Removed unused device listing utility.
• Cleaned up temporary reference files used during the settings redesign.
• Updated README and requirements to reflect current state.

What's New

Settings Persistence

Settings now save and load automatically. Camera IP, credentials, pan/tilt speeds, zoom settings, and all other options are remembered between sessions. No more re-entering your camera IP every time you open the app.

Profiles

Save named profiles for different scenarios — "Sunday Morning", "Wednesday Night", "Guest Speaker", etc. Each profile stores all TrackMind settings independently. Switch between them instantly with one click.

Save Button

Explicit 💾 Save button added next to Apply Settings for immediate manual save to disk.

Auto-Update

TrackMind now checks for updates automatically on startup. When a new version is available a prompt appears — click Yes and the update downloads and installs itself. No manual downloading required.

Improved Tracking Focus

Vertical Offset control expanded from ±5 to ±7 steps with improved scaling — now covers the full range from top of head to feet for precise aim point adjustment.

RTSP Buffer Fix

Added a dedicated frame buffer thread that continuously drains the RTSP stream, keeping only the latest frame. Eliminates the gradual lag buildup that previously caused the video feed to fall further and further behind over time.

Wider Default Dead Zones

Default pan and tilt dead zones increased from 10% to 15% of frame for smoother, less twitchy tracking out of the box.

Stream Restart on Settings Change

Changing the camera IP or stream number and clicking Apply Settings now automatically reconnects to the new stream without requiring a manual restart.

Installation

Download Trackmind_Setup.exe below and run it. No Python required.

Requirements:

• Windows 10 or 11
• PTZOptics camera with a LAN port on the same network as your PC

---

Known Issues

• RTSP latency (1–3 seconds) is inherent to IP streaming. Velocity prediction compensates but does not fully eliminate tracking lag.
• MediaPipe single-pose model detects the most visually prominent person in frame. In crowded scenes this may not always be the intended subject — use the Lock button to hold onto a specific person.

Pre-Release 1.0.0.1

Updated installer.nsi from PTZ_AutoTracker to Trackmind and version from 1.0.0.0 -> 1.0.0.1.
