Using Zoom on Fixed Cameras

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

The Zoomcontrols allow you to digitally zoom the static image. You can also control the camera with just your mouse, if you wish. You can also use your mouse to click and drag around the image.

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.

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 and then 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.
