Pan and zoom live video with Auto Zoom and Tracking
When you’re viewing a live stream recording, Auto Zoom and Tracking lets you zoom
into any area of the recording up to 8x. The image quality of the zoomed-in area
doesn’t deteriorate, allowing you to view a zoomed-in image with true 1080p video
resolution.
When Auto Zoom and Tracking is activated, your Pro 3 Camera automatically zooms in
on an object and track its movement when it detects motion in its eld of view. To use
Auto Zoom and Tracking, you must turn it on for each camera. See Turn on Auto Zoom
and Tracking on page 55.
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap Play
on the camera feed.
On a mobile device, use the pinch gesture to zoom, and touch and drag to move
around the zoomed-in frame.
On a computer, double-click click to zoom. Left-click and hold and drag to move
around the zoomed-in frame.
After zooming in, the image stops and buffers for about ve seconds to improve
the quality of video. When the buffering stops, your zoomed-in video renders in
high quality.
Look back video
When plugged in using the indoor or outdoor magnetic charging cable, your Pro 3
Camera records continuously, but discards the video after three seconds if no motion
is detected. This means that your motion-triggered video recordings start before any
motion happens; you don’t miss a thing.
1. Plug in your camera.
2. Make sure the camera is using a motion-detection mode such as Armed.
