How to disable autofocus?

[sniper68]

I have a IPC-B22IR-ZAS from Empiretech and it likes to autofocus every so often, which makes the image very blurry. Is there some hidden way of turning this off? Or can we make a feature request for a firmware?

I've already looked through the threads of other users having the same issue and their solutions don't seem to exist for this camera. It's set to be always in day mode and there's no autofocus option for the profiles.

Not sure if this is available in your camera's webGUI but here goes:

Steps to Disable Autofocus

• Log in to your camera's web interface (IP address) via a web browser (Internet Explorer or Edge with IE mode is recommended for full functionality).
• Go to Settings > Camera > Zoom and Focus
• Change the Focus Mode from Auto to Manual.
• Click Save.
• Once in Manual mode, use the + (Far) and - (Near) buttons to set the focus to your desired position.
