Pro 2 Camera suddenly zoomed in

danwriter — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 13:58:51 GMT

After moving one of my Pro 2 cams and then putting it back on its perch, I see that the field of vision is severely reduced, as though the camera lens has zoomed in and stayed there. I wasn't aware that Arlo cams can change their focal length. Image is still sharp, but very tight field now, Any though on how/why that happen and how it can be reversed?

They can't (so that's not what happened).

Go into the video settings, and zoom the camera out there.

And that's what I did, but without realizing it. Didn't know the I could pinch the video image to change the focal plane. Thanks.

It's just EPTZ (electronic pan and zoom). The camera has no way to adjust focus.
