4.1Adjusting a Video Feed

Camera attributes of video feed

To adjust the video feed of cameras, ask your Multi-Media system administrator (Multi SA) or View operator that has the right to run maintenance sessions. Video feeds are adjusted individually for each camera while running a maintenance session.

You can adjust a video feed’s:

•brightness

•contrast

•hue

•saturation

•gain (AGC)

Fig. 34. The Motion and PTZ selections show different controls.

Honeywell recommends you leave the gain to automatic.

To do so leave/set a checkmark in the AGC box on the Video tab, during a maintenance session.
