About remote focus and zoom
The remote focus and zoom functionality allows you to make focus and zoom adjustments to your camera from a computer. It is a
convenient way to ensure that the scene's focus, viewing angle and resolution are optimized without having to visit the camera's
installation location.

How to optimize IR illumination
In most cases, the exposure of the image is automatically adjusted to obtain optimal image quality. Sometimes if the camera is
placed close to a wall or a corner, it might result in saturating parts of the image. When this happens, the LED's closest to the wall or
corner are automatically dimmed to avoid saturating the image.
Depending on the installation environment and the conditions around the camera, e.g. external light sources in the scene, it is
sometimes possible to achieve better IR-illumination by manually setting the intensity of the LED's.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and turn on Allow IR illumination.
2. Turn on Live view control.
3. Minimize Settings.
4. In the live view, click on IR illumination and turn on IR light and Manual intensity.
