Viewer PTZ
Viewer PTZ uses the digital zoom function to enlarge part
of a video without using the camera pan, tilt or zoom
functions.
This function allows you to enlarge part of a video when
using the camera in a locked position, for example, during
use of an intelligent function.
Important
When the Viewer PTZ function is used, you cannot operate the
camera by clicking/dragging the video display area.
Note
• Video cropped with Viewer PTZ will not be videos recorded
manually, or by event or timer.
• The cropped position in the video display area will be reflected
in full screen mode as well.

After changing the preview frame, the video display area will
