Digital Zoom

Recommended Posts

Say a fixed network megpix camara is monitoring a parking lot. Could an attandent at a computer/monitor digitally zoom in to a part of the picture? (I picture him using a mouse to pick part of the picture that would then enlarge)

Yes, but this is mostly a function of the PC Client software.

 

Also remember that to zoom in digitally you need to be streaming a good image from the camera to the PC in the first place. On a LAN this is usually of little concern. But if the attendant is connecting to the lot camera via WAN, then you may have issues with adequate bandwidth.

An IQEye camera (such as the Alliance series) could address that with its "Cameo" feature, that allows you to define multiple "zoomed" views and access each individually on separate HTTP ports.
