1. An apparatus for controlling a multicamera system, the apparatus configured to process and display image data, the apparatus comprising:
memory configured to store the image data;
at least one processor in communication with the memory, the at least one processor being configured to:
receive a first image stream from a first camera, the first image stream having a first field of view (FOV) of a scene;
receive a second image stream from a second camera, the second image stream having a second FOV of the scene different from the first FOV of the scene;
determine an object in the scene to be an object of interest;
display a first preview of a first output image stream, wherein the first output image stream includes the first image stream alone, the second image stream alone, or both the first image stream and the second image stream concurrently;
determine a first metric indicative of motion associated with at least one of the first camera or the second camera;
determine a second metric indicative of motion associated with the object of interest in the scene; and
determine, based on the first metric and the second metric, whether to switch to display a second preview of a second output image stream, wherein the second output image stream is different from the first output image stream.
