Yes. That camera can use 2 different methods of tracking. It can be routed through the Camera Tracker in WD using Directshow or it can be used with marker tracking.

They are 2 very different techniques to create slightly different results. Marker tracking can identify the individual point while Camera Tracking uses "blob tracking"

You might want to check with your distributor though about the specific model. I am pretty sure that one works well with both methods. Keep in mind it is USB and you can't add more than maybe 1 extension to it. Sometimes it is better to use GigE cameras for cameras that will be placed far away.

I believe at this point only 1 camera can be used at once with Marker tracking. It is possible (although somewhat difficult) to use multiple cameras with Camera Tracker.
