Controlling user access to the live video stream

Adjusting the Video Image
If necessary, the Camera Administrator can adjust the video image. Settings are provided for:
•
Image size - Select the desired size. The larger sizes require greater bandwidth.
•
Image quality - This determines the degree of compression applied to the video stream.
Higher quality requires greater bandwidth.
•
Power Line Frequency - Select 50Hz or 60Hz power line frequency, depending on
what's used in your region. The correct setting will improve the picture quality under
florescent lighting.
•
Exposure - Adjust the brightness of the image if the "Auto-Exposure" setting does not
give satisfactory results.
•
Color Adjustment - Red, green, blue intensity can be adjusted.
•
Time Stamp - If enabled, the time will be displayed on the video image.
•
Text Overlay - If enabled, up to 20 characters can be superimposed on the video image.
This is useful for identifying the camera.
•
Audio - If desired, audio can be included in the video stream.

To Adjust the Video Image:
