Continuing the exacqVision Version 2.9 new feature preview: Another of the major new features in Version 2.9 is Megapixel Camera Cropping.

The IP megapixel cameras from IQeye and Arecont Vision can produce spectacular images with great detail.  With those increased-resolution images also comes increased file sizes and increased network bandwidth usage.

In many cases, there are areas in each megapixel camera image that are not necessary to view or record.  For example, an exterior camera aimed at a parking lot may also include sky or buildings or landscaping in the view, which you do not need to record.  With the new Cropping feature of exacqVision, you can crop out those areas you don’t wish to record, thereby maintaining the high-resolution for the areas you do want to see, but reducing file sizes and network bandwidth usage.

This feature is particularly useful for systems that may have a large number of IP megapixel cameras connected.

Dan and Roger created a YouTube video for this feature as well:
