1.2.5 Zooming
The camera has a digital zoom feature that allows you to zoom up to 10x (by area) and get a closer look. You can use your mouse to zoom in and out simply. There are 2 ways to use the zoom feature, as explained later in this section.
The zoom feature can be used when:
Viewing video images on the single camera page
Viewing video images from multiple cameras on the multi camera page
Viewing buffered MJPEG video images on the buffered image page
Note
Zooming is not available when viewing camera images on a mobile phone.
The zoom magnification (×1.0–×10.0) is displayed briefly while zooming.
As the magnification increases, image quality decreases.
The digital zoom uses the ActiveX Controls installed on your PC; the lens itself does not zoom. This means that while you are looking at a zoomed image, for example, another user can be looking at the same image with no zoom.
Zooming with the scroll wheel
With the cursor placed over the camera image, rotate the scroll wheel away from you to zoom in, and rotate the scroll wheel toward you to zoom out. Note that the zoom speed depends on your mouse performance and your PC’s mouse settings.
