View Areas
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in
Live View
and has its own video
stream and PTZ settings.
To enable view areas, go to
Video & Audio > Camera Settings
and select
Enable View Areas
.
When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.

1. Go to
Video & Audio > View Areas
.
2. Click

.
3. The new view area appears under
Selected view area
. Enter a descriptive name in the
