Is this optical or digital zoom? Will it work with Blue Iris?

Digital zoom, but has a nice, clear picture at full resolution, so should be fine at minor zoom. I haven't tried blue iris, but it works with EvoCam and iCam, so I bet you could find the right IP path to work with Blue Iris.

It has 40x optical zoom, I haven't used it extensively, but it was satisfactory.

This will work with video; however I do not recommend this adapter. I returned mine because the iris ring is worthless. All it does is remove light from the edges as you stop down. The result is server vignette. You have a couple of options, if you want to save money and can always shoot wide open, there are some very cheap adapters (around $50). If you want iris control, I recommend the Redrock LiveLens MFT Active Lens Mount, it works great. The costs is around $600.

Yes. Blue Iris is what I use. If you plan on connecting more than one of these cameras I highly recommend Blue Iris.

No it doesn't. You can get a program to do digital zoom, but that is just blowing up the picture and making it fuzzy.

Make sure in the settings that the zoom lever on the camera body is set to zoom for the lens. You can also set it to digital zoom and nothing. Maybe yours is set to nothing. Also check the "manual/servo" switch on this lens is set to servo

The camera uses both and I have read it is compatible with Zoneminder. That being said, I did try to get it working with Zoneminder and after spending some time trying to find the right URL string, I decided to use use Blue Iris. For $50, you'll have security software that is much easier to use and I can verify works well with this camera.

You can digitally zoom any image, but it has no lensing for magnification built-in. It's essentially an old-fashioned focal-plane camera, writ 'digital'.LS

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.

Well, it only has digital zoom, and no real optical zooming (the lens does not move). I never use digital zoom, as it makes an already grainy image (from this camera anyway) even less sharp. If I wanted to "zoom" I would do it in post-processing in your computer's video editor, as you can crop at will.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "digital zoom"?. With the 14 - 42mm X lens with electronic zoom I can use "manual focus". I have not tried other auto lenses which have the manual zoom ring in addition to the electronic zoom.

Yes. ANy IP based CAmera software should work with this camera. I use Blue Iris.

No sorry unfortunately it doesn't have optical zoom, so it takes time to setup. But my opinion once it's set you will be on happy person. It has a killer picture and handles 3D with the best of them. I even had friend come over to my home that's never been believers in projectors until they seen this one. Best of luck to you choice .

No it will not zoom. On high the batteries last about 3 hours. On low batteries last about 6 hours.

I use it with Blue Iris and it works great. Camera has some great features and I'll be buying more at some point.
