occurs, meaning the IR sensor will deactivate, when the light sensor detects more light when in night mode (i.e. a sunrise). A time-based setting can be scheduled to activate/deactivate the IR sensor. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) WDR helps with scenarios where illumination varies in the camera’s field of view. WDR will provide a clear image in these scenarios. -
Page 12: Ae Meter Mode
AE Meter Mode Auto-Exposure meter mode is how the IP Camera determines exposure in the lighting conditions of the environment. There are four different modes: Multi-pattern, Center-weighted, Horizontal Center-Weighted, and Vertical Center-Weighted. The mode selected will adjust the exposure setting. Multi-pattern will take the light information from the entire scene for the final exposure setting. -

Page 19: Audio Encoding
Audio Encoding There are four Audio Encode types on the IP Camera. Below is a brief explanation. G711_ALAW – encodes 14-bit linear PCM samples to logarithmic 8-bit sample. FROM WIKI: law encoding effectively reduces the dynamic range of the signal, thereby increasing the coding efficiency and resulting in a signal-to-distortion ratio that is superior to that obtained by linear encoding for a given number of bits. -
Page 20: Quality
2GIG 250P – 3000kbps to 6000kbps Quality The quantization (i.e. Quality) value is a compression value for the video stream. The lower the quality value the higher the compression (i.e. video quality degrades) and lower the bitrate. The higher the quality value the lower the compression (i.e. -
