Note:
• When zooming in to the specified area, the center may shift according to the conditions of
the current pan, tilt and zoom position or specified center.
• When the current zoom position is the optical tele area, the zoom action is limited to the
optical zoom maximum. If the "AreaZoom" operation is made on condition that the zoom
position is set to the optical maximum, the digital zoom action is performed according to
the zoom mode.
• When w=0 and h=0 are set in the AreaZoom parameter, no zoom operation is performed
except the pan and tilt operation.

immediately send “ContinuousPanTiltZoom=0,0,0” without waiting for the response to
