6.7 Adjusting and Framing-Up the Camera View
After the camera is connected to the network and running, it is necessary to frame-up the scene and
adjust the camera settings to optimize the picture for the individual scenes. If Latitude is being used,
consider scheduling different settings for changing ambient conditions throughout the day, week,
month or seasons.
To adjust and frame-up the camera view:
1. In the DNA application, click DNA.
2. In the results, click to select the camera.
3. Right-click to open the shortcut menu, and select Browse, or enter the camera's IP
address in your Internet browser's URL address bar.
4. When the Internet browser connects to the camera and prompts for login, do the
following:
a) Log in using the default user name Admin and password 1234. If the password has
previously been changed, use the new password.
b) Allow the ActiveX to download and choose to install the DVTEL Web Player
(DCViewer).
Tip:
To view greater image detail for more accurate high-definition focusing, on the web
interface Home page, click the Full Screen
check the focus.
Note:
Best focusing results can be achieved when the lens iris is fully open (such as at night in
low light). This prevents loss of sharpness if light levels are reduced at night.
To achieve this during the day, in the web interface, go to the Camera > Exposure screen
and select from the Exposure Setting menu Auto Shutter mode. Save changes and
complete the focusing steps. When finished, restore your exposure settings as needed.
5. Adjust the Pan and Tilt as follows:
a. For indoor installations without a housing
1. Loosen the tension screw on the bracket/stand and move (pan and tilt) the
camera so that the field of view is optimized for your scene and retighten the
tension bolt to hold the camera in place.
2. On the camera, adjust the zoom ring and focus ring on the camera lens for your
scene. If you have a manual iris, also adjust the iris ring on your lens.
