How do I activate a dormant or inactive auto-focus function on an Autofocus camera?
To activate a dormant autofocus, do the following:
- Confirm that the product specifications show the camera's lens has an autofocus feature. Fixed lens cameras do not have an autofocus feature.
- Remotely connect to the ProConnect NVR via a web browser or via AvertX Connect.
- Go to Setup > System Settings > Cameras > select the camera that is out of focus > confirm the box to enable the “PTZ/Autofocus” function is checked, Apply, and exit the camera setup.
- Go to Live > and identify the camera that is out of focus. Do either of the following actions to activate the camera’s Zoom and Autofocus function:
- Right-click on the camera and select Zoom In, and then Zoom Out.
- Or, move the mouse cursor to the top of the display of the autofocus camera and at the top of the camera's display, click on the “+” button a few times, and then the “-“ button to de-zoom if desired.
- Either Zoom option activates the camera’s Zoom and Autofocus function.
