What's a good app that I could use with a my phone and be able to use the zoom feature. The model is ipc-hdbw5231r-z. I have tried a few and can view the camera but no zoom. Thanks

I tried gdmss and when I hit the ptz button I get "no permssion message". It operates fine on a computer from a browser.
make sure the user has admin/ptz privileges.

Thats not a PTZ; its a varifocal.. the zoom is not exposed via ONVIF and its not designed to be zoomed on the fly.

OK so it won't work via a app only from a Web browser?

yeah its intended to be setup initially when installed and then left alone; usually varifocals are too slow to zoom/focus to follow any activity and they dont have preset support either.
