Auto Focus

There are two options for you to fine-tune the camera focus.

Auto Focus Button

Press the button, and the camera firmware will automatically perform an auto-sensing process on its vari-focal lens to look for the best focus. The process takes about a minute to complete. This function applies when you see the image is out of focus when the surrounding lighting condition is changed drastically for some reasons. You can press the button for longer than 1 second to perform a full-range scan. Forcing a re-focusing may improve the image quality.

PTZ Panel: This Network Camera supports “digital PTZ“ (e-PTZ). Please refer to PTZ settiings on page 92 for detailed information.

Global View: Click on this item to display the Global View window. The Global View window contains a
