Using Zoom on Fixed Cameras

On fixed cameras, in the camera control panel on the Live View page there are Zoom controls.

The Zoom controls allow you to digitally zoom the static image. You can also control the camera with just your mouse by clicking and dragging around the image.

Presets For PTZ Cameras

On PTZ cameras, there is a Preset View button. This can be used to quickly move the camera to locations you want to see repeatedly.

To use this feature, point the camera using the Viewfinder. Pause the live view if it’s not already paused by clicking the top-right Stop button. Confirm the Play icon is showing.

Select the Preset Views button. The current view will be highlighted and you will have the option to Save as Preset. Pressing this button will remember this camera position and take you to a screen where you can give this preset a name.

Optionally, you can set this view as the Home Position for the Viewfinder. Only one home position can be set per camera.

Using the Viewfinder on PTZ Cameras

On PTZ cameras, you can control where the camera is pointed with the Viewfinder.

The Viewfinder is located in the bottom of the Live View page on any PTZ camera. To use the Viewfinder, simply click on the Viewfinder icon to open it.

The Viewfinder allows you to zoom in on a particular area of a live image. To do this, move the selection box around the image, then resize or zoom in/out, or you can draw a completely new selection box in a new area of the image. When you have the selector positioned in the area you want the camera to move, click the check button and the view will change to your selection. The Home icon in the Viewfinder will take you back to the default home preset. If no home preset has been saved, the camera will move back to its default location with zero zoom and zero pan.

Using the Navigator Pad on PTZ Cameras

On PTZ cameras, you can control where the camera is pointed with the Navigator Pad.

The Navigator Pad allows you to move the camera on a particular area of a live image by clicking on any of the eight directional arrows. This will automatically shift the camera to that position.

If you want to reset the large image and viewfinder rectangle to their original positions, just click on the “home” icon. If no home preset has been saved, the camera will revert back to its default location.

The Navigator Pad is available under the list of icons of the Live View page on any PTZ camera. To open the Navigator Pad, simply click on its icon.

Here is what you will see with only the Navigator Pad enabled:
