Video and Image Settings

Image Settings

Image Appearance

Adjust these settings to optimize the video images according to your requirements.

All configuration of images and overlays will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the bandwidth.

Changed video image settings have immediate effect on the MPEG-4 stream, but the Motion JPEG stream will have to be started (or restarted) before the settings take effect.

Text Overlay Settings

The date, time, and user defined text can be included on one line, either on the top or bottom of the video image.

It is also possible to set how the text and text background are displayed. You can set the text to be either black or white, and the text background can also be set to black, white, semi-transparent, or transparent.
