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.  | 
  |

  | 
  | more bandwidth  |

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  | 
  | 
  | |
  | 
  | •   |

  | •   | 
  | 
  | not provide a clear image  |

  | 
  | 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.  |
