Focus & Zoom
Focus and zoom should only be configured when installing or reinstalling the product.
For installation instructions, refer to the product's Installation Guide.
To set focus and zoom:
1. Install the camera as described in the Installation Guide.
2. Go to Video > Focus & Zoom.
3. On the Basic tab, set the zoom level using the slider. The buttons < and > move the zoom position one step in either
direction. The buttons << and >> move the zoom position in multiple steps in either direction.
4. Click Perform auto focus to focus the camera automatically.
5. If more adjustments are needed, go to the Advanced tab.
Note
• Changing the zoom level moves the focus position. Focus should always be adjusted after changing the zoom.
• Movements in front of the camera should be avoided during automatic focusing.
On the Advanced tab, focus can be adjusted manually:
1. Click Open iris to open the iris to its maximum position. This gives the smallest depth of field and provides the best
conditions for focusing.
2. Focus is set in the Focus window. Use the mouse to move and resize the focus window.
3. Set the zoom level using the slider and click Perform auto focus to focus the camera automatically.
