Color: Select to display color or black/white video streams.

Power line frequency: Set the power line frequency consistent with local utility settings to eliminate image flickering associated with fluorescent lights. Note that after the power line frequency is changed, you must disconnect and reconnect the power cord of the Network Camera in order for the new setting to take effect.

Iris mode: Select a proper iris mode for your environment.

Select caching stream: This Network Camera supports time shift cache stream on the Network Camera. Select one stream and check the below option Enable time shift caching stream.

Enable time shift caching stream Advanced Mode : Check this item to enable the time shift cache stream on the Network Camera, which will store video in the camera’s embedded memory for a period of time depending on the cache memory of each Network Camera. This function can work seamlessly with VIVOTEK’s ST7501 recording software. When an event occurs, the recording software can request time shift cache stream from the camera, which allows the user to get an earlier video recorded before the occurence of an important event.

Video orientation: Flip--vertically reflect the display of the live video; Mirror--horizontally reflect the display of the live video. Select both options if the Network Camera is installed upside-down (ex. on the ceiling)
