Audio Parameters

Mute: Checking this option will cut off the network camera’s audio. Therefore, anyone who connects to the network camera will only be able to view video. No audio will be available on any client side.

Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment: Checking this option will make the network camera reboot to make audio channel communication more efficient.

Audio Source: The selection can either be “Internal microphone” or “External microphone”. When “External microphone” is selected, the network camera’s red LED will blink once per second.

Video Codec Parameters

Text on video: The text will be displayed in the black bar above the video window with a timestamp. The timestamp is captured from the date and time of the network camera that is maintained by a built-in real-time clock.

Color: Select either for color or monochrome video display.

Size: There are five options for three video sizes. “Half” is the quarter size of “Normal”. “Half x 2” has the same video size as “Normal” but of a lesser quality, while consuming less network bandwidth. “Normal x 2” will perform a digital zoom on the video by a factor of 200%. “Double” will cause the network camera to send video at a size of 704x480 (NTSC)/704x576(PAL) at a maximum frame rate of 10fps.

Maximum frame rate: This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be combined with the "Video quality control" to optimize bandwidth utilization and video quality. If the user wants to fix the bandwidth utilization regardless of the video quality, choose "Fix bit rate" and select the desired bandwidth. The video quality may be poor due to the sending of the maximal frame rate within the limited bandwidth when images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to ensure detailed video quality (quantization rate) regardless of the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximal frames when images change drastically.

Flip: Vertically rotate the video.

Mirror: Horizontally rotate the video.

Check both options (Flip & Mirror) if the network camera is installed upside down. White balance: Adjust the value for best color temperature.

Click on this button and another window will appear that allows you to tune "Brightness", “Contrast”, “Hue” and "Saturation" for video compensation. Each field has eleven levels, ranging from -5 to +5. The User can click

on to fine-tune the image. When the image is at a desired setting, press to set the image settings. Click on

this to recall the original settings without incorporating the changes.
