Option Description

Microphone Type Choose the type of microphone that you are using.
• Internal Microphone—Audio is captured by the internal microphone
on the IP camera.
• External Microphone—Audio is captured by an optional external
microphone, available from third-parties. Choosing this option disables
the internal microphone.
Video Adjustments Area
Auto Iris Mode Choose whether auto iris mode is enabled or disabled:
• On—Auto iris mode is enabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the
IP camera lens adjusts automatically based on light conditions. This
setting is the default and recommended choice.
• Off - Auto iris mode is disabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the
IP camera lens remains fully open.
Sensitivity Designates how the iris opening in the IP camera lens adjusts when auto iris
mode is enabled. As sensitivity increases, the auto iris closes more to reduce
the light level and increase the depth of field in bright environments.
However, a high sensitivity may cause the image to oscillate between bright
and dim. In this situation, reduce the sensitivity to improve the image quality.
White Balance Mode Choose one the following white balance modes from the drop-down list:
• Manual—Choose this option if you want to set the white balance by
using the White Balance slider in the Camera Video/Control window as
described in
