There are AMC controls that are common to all cameras.

hold down on the left mouse button, and then point your
cursor at the lower left hand corner of the image,
the camera continues to move left and down until you release the mouse button.
Area Zoom allows you to zoom in on a specific area of the video stream. Put the cursor where you want the center of
the area you want to zoom in on, and then drag the cursor out as far as the size of the area you want to zoom in on.
Note that AMC is dependent on the camera's zoom calibration.
