I have an Andy SD49225XA-HNR PTZ and before permanent fixing I planned to mount it in various spots to see if an ANPR 8-32mm lens (HFW7842H-Z4 8MP) type camera
will be OK in a couple of spots to monitor some farm gates. Is there anyway to know what length the camera is zoomed to on BI or some other software?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Holiday
I turned on the OSD for Zoom and also Temperature (I assume this is camera internal temp as it is 3 degrees C here at present)
Couple of pics of garden giraffe at about 24 meters from the camera with the Zoom and temp OSD.
Deepstack also correctly ID the giraffe
