Controlling Your Cameras
Pan & Tilt: To Pan & Tilt your cameras, switch to the full-screen view for a PTZ enabled camera. Tap and hold your finger anywhere on the full-screen image, then pan across the screen to reveal the area of video you wish to watch. For instance, to see the image off to the right of the screen you would pan your finger from right to left, as if you were dragging the image across.
Zoom: To Zoom your cameras, simply pinch in or out with two fingers anywhere on the full-screen image, just like you would to zoom an image anywhere else on the iPhone.
Depending on the speed of your network connection, there may be a delay between the PTZ gesture and the image being updated with the new camera settings.
