Overview

Digital Zoom and Pan allows you to adjust the visible area of your camera feed without physically moving the camera. By resizing and repositioning the viewing region, you can zoom in on important areas and shift the focal point to better capture what matters most. These settings can be configured from both the Console and Mobile App, and changes are applied within seconds. Temporary zoom adjustments can also be made directly from the live video feed for quick viewing changes without saving a new default view.

Configure Zoom and Pan

Console

1. Navigate to the "Devices" page, and select a camera.

2. Hover over the ellipsis button in the upper right corner of the video feed, and click the "Settings" icon.

3. Click the setting beside "Digital Zoom."

4. Adjust the region of the image to zoom in and move the focal point. The smaller you make the area, the more zoomed in the video will be. Click "Rotate" if you also want to rotate the full image view.  Click "Save" when all settings have been configured.

5. Within 10-20 seconds, your player will refresh with the updated focus. You can revert to the default settings by opening this dialog and clicking "Reset View."

Mobile App

1. Open the mobile app and tap "Cameras."

2. Select a camera from the list.

3. Tap the "Settings" icon in the upper right, then tap the option beside "Zoom."

4. Use your fingers to resize the box and move it to where you want to focus the image, then click "Save."

Temporarily Adjust Zoom

1. Navigate to the "Devices" page, and select a camera.

2. Hover over the ellipsis button in the upper right corner of the video feed, and select the magnifying glass to zoom in or out.
