External Microphone—Audio is captured by an optional external microphone, available from third-parties. Choosing this option disables the internal microphone.

Video Adjustments Area

Auto Iris Mode

Choose whether auto iris mode is enabled or disabled:

 

On—Auto iris mode is enabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the

 

IP camera lens adjusts automatically based on light conditions. This

 

setting is the default and recommended choice.

 

Off - Auto iris mode is disabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the

 

IP camera lens remains fully open.

 

 

Sensitivity

Designates how the iris opening in the IP camera lens adjusts when auto iris

 

mode is enabled. As sensitivity increases, the auto iris closes more to reduce

 

the light level and increase the depth of field in bright environments.

 

However, a high sensitivity may cause the image to oscillate between bright

 

and dim. In this situation, reduce the sensitivity to improve the image quality.

 

 

White Balance Mode

Choose one the following white balance modes from the drop-down list:

 

Manual—Choose this option if you want to set the white balance by

 

using the White Balance slider in the Camera Video/Control window as

 

described in Chapter 4, “Viewing Live Video.”
