Description

 

 

Fixed Video Quality

Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which ranges from Very High

 

 

to Very Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain this quality. The default fixed

 

 

quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality provides better video quality but

 

 

consumes more bandwidth.

 

 

Max. Frame Rate

Choose the desired maximum frame rate per second for the secondary video

 

 

stream from the IP camera.

 

 

The default value is 5.

 

 

A higher maximum frame rate provides better video quality but consumes

 

 

more bandwidth

 

 

Video Adjustment

 

 

 

 

Video System

 

Choose the media format that the IP camera should use: NTSC/60 Hz or

 

 

PAL/50 Hz.

 

 

If your IP camera receives a voltage with a 60Hz signal, choose

 

 

NTSC/60 Hz. If your IP camera receives a voltage with a 50 Hz signal,

 

 

choose PAL/50 Hz to prevent flickering in the video image.

 

 

 

Preset

 

Choose one the following preset white balance modes from the Preset

 

 

drop-down list:

 

 

Normal—Suitable for most conditions that do not have special lighting

 

 

Indoor—Suitable for indoor conditions when the Normal setting does

 

 

not provide a clear image

 

 

Fluorescent—Suitable for indoor conditions with fluorescent lighting

 

 

Outdoor—Suitable for outdoor conditions

 

 

The default setting is Normal.

 

 

 

Brightness

 

Choose a positive value to increase the brightness of the video from the IP

 

 

camera or choose a negative value to decrease the brightness. For example,

 

 

if the IP camera is facing a bright light and the video appears too dark, you

 

 

can increase the brightness.

 

 

The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.

 

 

 

Sharpness

 

Choose a positive value to increase the sharpness of the video from the IP

 

 

camera or choose a negative value to decrease the sharpness.

 

 

The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.

 

 

 

Contrast

 

Choose a positive value to increase the contrast of the video from the IP

 

 

camera or choose a negative value to decrease the contrast.

 

 

The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.

 

 

 

Saturation

 

Choose a positive value to increase the saturation of the video from the IP

 

 

camera or choose a negative value to decrease the saturation.

 

 

High saturation provides a vivid, intense color for a video image. With less

 

 

saturation, the video image appears more muted and gray.

 

 

The default value is Normal, which is suitable for most conditions.
