Focus

Focus here refers to the Remote Focus, applicable to cameras that are equipped with a stepping motor
lens. The automated focus adjustment function eliminates the needs to physically adjust camera focus.
In an outdoor deployment consisting of a large number of cameras, the auto focus function can be helpful
when these cameras become out of focus after days or weeks of operation. And that can easily result
from the effects of natural forces, for example, shrink and expand due to a wide range of operating
temperatures and the vibration caused by wind.
