1. A system, comprising:
a camera that includes a processor and a sensor;
a positioning device comprising an electromagnetic source configured to emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation in an aim direction and adjust the aim direction of the beam such that the beam remains aimed at a target as the target moves from a first position to a second position;
wherein the positioning device is configured to send target position information to the camera;
wherein the sensor is configured to sense electromagnetic radiation of the beam reflected or scattered by the target as the target moves from the first position to the second position and provide the processor with information indicative of the sensed electromagnetic radiation; and
wherein the processor, based on a comparison of the information indicative of the sensed electromagnetic radiation and the target position information, causes the camera to track the target from the first position to the second position and adjust one or more of a focus, a zoom, and an angle of a field of view of the camera to account for movement of the target as the target moves from the first position to the second position.
