Compared with the digital zoom that just crops and enlarges the pixels of the captured image, optical zoom is achieved by adjusting the camera lens. The former sometimes results in degraded images while the latter let you get clear details of far-away subject. So, the optical zoom is often considered as the real zooming technology.

This PoE security camera boasts the powerful 3X optical zoom and variable viewing angle powered by the motorized varifocal lens, helping you identify things in the distance without image degradation.
