Video and Image settings
Image Appearance
Use these settings to change the image as required. The video image can be fine-tuned by adjusting the color
level, the brightness and the sharpness.
The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used
and on the available bandwidth. Setting higher resolution and lower compression improves video image quality,
but increases the amount of bandwidth used. Please see the online help for further information on these settings.
Text, date and
time overlay
Text Overlay Settings
Use these settings to include a text, date and time overlay. The
text, date and time overlay is included on one line at the top
or bottom of the video image.
Video Stream
Define the maximum video stream time per session in
seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expired, a
new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the
browser. For unlimited video stream time, select the
Unlimited radio button. Note that the maximum video stream
time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to reduce bandwidth usage. To allow the highest
available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio button.
For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note
that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and
MPEG-4.
