Can you adjust (focus, zoom) individual cameras?

Not with the included cameras. The NVR's interface shows a capability to control PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras, but I don't see SimplyMonitored offering any PTZ cameras. Not sure if you can use off-brand PTZ cameras with this NVR. So, with included cameras, you are limited to digital (not optical) zoom.

Yes. This camera has an anti-intuitive way to setup the C1, and c2 modes. Put the camera in P mode, then press the menu button. In the menu, scroll down to the first wrench symbol, and select "Custom Mode Setup", from there it will save your settings from what you have currently selected in Program mode.

Yes and no, most point and shoot cameras have pre-set features, the S9100 it's not the exception. Yes, you can adjust it, but only to the extent permitted by the preset features, meaning that only those settings programmed by the manufacturer will be available. There is no way to customize any setting. You would probably be better off with a more advance camera such as Fujifilm or Canon Rebel that are capable of using different lenses. Those cameras would probably cost more but are worth the price for those interested in advanced photography.

Yes, the app will let you view one camera at a time. not both at the same time.

The P Q10 is like most digital cameras, you change the focus by centering the view finder on an object and lightly tapping the shutter button. This will force the camera to refocus on that object. I don't believe there is a way to manually adjust focus like you adjust zoom. Practice with the light tapping on different objects in your field of view and it will become natural to shift your focus on anything in your field of view.

Yes you can but it's awkward and heavy. It's difficult to hold the camera/lens and adjust the focal range. I got one of those pistol grip camera handles with shutter release. Screw it into the lens bracket instead of bottom of the camera. This way you can hold the camera/lens and press the shutter button with one hand while using the other hand to steady the lens and adjust the focal range. Requires some practice but is workable.

Yes and yes. To adjust the position of the cameras you need to purchase a dome style camera with rotating capabilities. Internet connection works great too.

No, you can,t adjuste it. In fact you will see the photos with the circle frame of the lens with the complete zoom out.

No, there is no adjustment. Try the adjustments on your DVR for that camera.

Hello, I could not find how to set the auto zoom. Do you mean auto focus? thanks

Hi Allison, yes you can. Set the camera to either one of these settings, Aperture priority or Manual mode and set the aperture to the highest f stop (lowest number), also change the focus area to flexible spot to enable you to choose which area to focus on. Thanks_Mitch

There are 2 adjustment screws on the bottom side of the camera right beneath the lens (one for zoom, one for focus); you'll need to manually twist both screws to adjust the camera's zoom

For the Video Secu variable zoom camera, no, You set the zoom and focus to the coverage you need, You would have to have a more expensive camera, near the $300 range that can be controlled via Pelco/RS422 signals.

Yes it is possible but manual focus is not available in all modes. Also, you don't get a split zoom or anything to help with the focus mechanics. Since you're using just a 3" LCD for the viewfinder, in-focus and out of focus is not always clear. Also difficult to do a fine adjustment on the focus, there's no vernier and each time you change the focus it seems to have a certain minimum amount of adjustment.

I have my Z712 set to auto zoom while recording or taking pictures and YES you can adjust the zoom before and DURING the process of recording. I LOVE IT! It is much easier to have the camera auto zoom than to attempt to do it myself while recording. My daughter was on a swim team and I would record her events........once I programmed the auto zoom, it made watching her event much nicer and I could change the zoom if I wanted. During playback, I didn't hear the noise of the zoom focus, but then again, with a bunch of screaming and yelling parents in the background it was hard to tell.
