Map scale and focus can be changed both manually and automatically.
Note
The map is automatically resized and refocused if this function is activated in the settings (see Configuring map autozoom).
Automatic adjustment of map scale and focus occurs when a video camera alarm occurs, if no video camera icon is selected on the map.
In this case, the map is scaled and refocused to center the icon for the alarm camera on the map.
If alarms occur for several video cameras simultaneously, the map scale and position are adjusted to show all icons for the relevant video cameras.
After a video camera alarm ends and there are no alarms for other video cameras, the map scale and position return to their initial status.
Automatic scaling and focusing of the map stops during the following actions:
When the user clicks to select the icon of a video camera on the map or viewing tile
To manually adjust the map scale, use the mouse scroll wheel (the cursor must be above the map) or use the map scale slider.
After increasing the scale, you can refocus the map with the mouse (by clicking and holding the left mouse button) in the direction of your choice.
