I have a cam-v3 that I just added Cam Plus to, so I can see and share it via the web app. On my phone app (iOS), I can zoom the view - pinch/expand - as well as pan the view. In the web app, I cannot seem to do either - is there a way to control the camera from the web app?
Further, if I pan the view in my iOS app, the view seems to pan for the web app (makes sense), but if I zoom in the iOS app, the web app keeps the “fully out” view.
Is there any way to zoom in when using the web app?
Because your digitally zooming in on the image/video provided by the camera using the app. If there was some sort of optical zoom then you would see that occur also on the webview but that camera only has pan and tilt functions.
Thanks! That makes sense why the zoom on my phone app doesn’t translate to changing what other users using apps elsewhere see. But is there a way that I can “locally” zoom on the web browser view, the way I can on the iPhone or iPad? I don’t have a touch screen to ‘pinch’ for a zoom, but I was hoping the web-browser app might have some [ + | - ] button somewhere to allow zooming. I’m thinking of something in the same manner that Google Maps allows zooming on both the phone (pinch) and in a web browser (+/- buttons) - same outcome, different interfaces.
Every browser has some sort of zoom, often CTRL+ and CTRL- will do it (with CTRL-0 returning you to 100%). But different sites deal with it in different ways, some zoom everything but the image.
Not sure if the Wyze web interface has a digital zoom in it or not, but I’d think it would be pretty obvious if it did.
I’m using Chrome on Windows. When I “zoom” the browser window, the overlay data (camera name, etc.) zooms, but the picture doesn’t. I’ll try to attach screen grabs of 100% and 500% zoom. [it only lets me put in one per post, so here is the 500% view:
It’s hard to see in the picture, but about dead center is a hummingbird on her nest - I’m trying to share this webcam with my niece (who loves birds). I was hoping to get a better view than this “full field” image.
I would save the image (take picture) on your phone then crop it. I’m not sure what the resolution is for web view, if it as good as the SD card or not.
You can try it in web view too and compare to see if the quality is different.
Looks like it might just be differences in lighting at different times. When I “take a picture” from the SD card it looks a lot better than live view or even the paused image in the app, license plates become readable etc.
I’m glad to know it’s not “just me” (pilot error) - it just doesn’t seem implemented in the web view. I also checked Edge on Windows - same result.
I wasn’t too concerned about the screen grab resolution, although I was interested in the commentary here, I was hoping to be able to zoom in on the live feed (as I can in the iOS app). It appears that’s not implemented, so I guess I’ll go find where to “request new feature” for this.
Amazon has various stick on lenses, can’t personally say how well they do or don’t work though. Some here have been talking about swapping out the whole lens (requiring camera disassembly), apparently it has been done with some models and is a fairly standard M12 sized lens in most cameras.
But you could consider the OG Telephoto which has a fixed 3x optical zoom in it.
But now it has a cover on it (SNOW)
I gave a year 2000 Honda Accord to my daughter, She drove it for about 8 years and it started having issues with a code which turned out to be the transmission. She took it to a local dealer and they said $4,000.00 to fix it. A service guy at the dealership said he would purchase it for $500.00. I said I could sell the parts for more than that and told her no way. The service guy got fired by the manager and she purchased a new Honda Civic at a discount price.
