Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH — 00:22:F5 (MA-L)

A MAC address starting with 00:22:F5 belongs to Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH, a German manufacturer of optical motion-tracking systems, and typically appears on its infrared tracking cameras or controller hardware rather than on general-purpose networking equipment.

The company (trading as "ART," legally Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH & Co. KG) is based in Weilheim, Bavaria, and has built precision motion-tracking hardware since 1999. Its product lines — DTRACK and VERPOSE software, and the ARTTRACK, SMARTTRACK, and TRACKPACK camera families plus the ART Controller — serve virtual and augmented reality, industrial measurement, ergonomics research, and full-motion simulator applications.

IEEE registers only this single MA-L block (00:22:F5) to the organization, and its registered address matches the company's own published headquarters exactly, corroborating that the assignment belongs to the operating company rather than a shell or reseller registration. Modern ART camera hardware connects over Gigabit Ethernet with PoE or PoE+ for power, consistent with why a tracking-camera maker would hold its own OUI block.

No CVE, security advisory, or malware association was found for this vendor, its hardware, or its OUI as of an August 2026 search. One name-collision note worth flagging: a well-known malware family unrelated to this company is also called "DTrack," attributed by researchers to the Lazarus Group; that malware has no connection to ART's own DTRACK tracking software or to this OUI beyond the coincidental shared name.

Analyst note

A device presenting 00:22:F5 is very likely genuine ART tracking hardware, given the single-OUI assignment and matching registered address, but no independent third-party device reports beyond mirror MAC-lookup sites were found to corroborate real-world sightings.
