About digital zoom
Digital zoom lets you magnify a portion of a given image so you are able to have a closer look at it.
Digital zoom is therefore a useful feature for cameras that do not have their own optical zoom
capabilities. Your use of digital zoom will not affect any recording of the video; any recording will still
take place in the camera's regular format. If you later wish to play back the recordings, you can use
digital zoom on the Playback tab as well.
For non-PTZ cameras, digital zoom is enabled by default. If you enable or disable digital zoom on one
camera, all cameras in your view are affected. For PTZ cameras, this setting only applies to one
camera at a time.
When you export evidence (see "XProtect format settings" on page 142), you can choose to export the
regular images or the digitally zoomed images in AVI or JPEG formats. When you export to database
format, this is unavailable, because the recipient can use digital zoom on the exported recordings. If
you print (see "Print evidence" on page 131) an image on which you have used digital zoom, the
digitally zoomed area of the image will be printed.
Use digital zoom
1. On the Live or Playback tab, in a carousel or in a map preview, on the camera toolbar, click
More > Digital zoom to enable it.
Tip: If you don't want the camera toolbar to pop up when you move your mouse over the view,
press and hold the CTRL key while moving the mouse.
A small overview frame (the zoom indicator) appears in the bottom right corner of the view,
providing an overview of the full image when you zoom in on an area.
