Image Appearance
Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be rotated, the image resolution and
compression can be adjusted, and the white balance can be changed.
The configuration of the video image affects 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 required.
Please see the online help for further information on these settings.
Overlay settings
Use these settings to include image, text, date and time
overlays.
The text, date and time overlay is included on one line at the
top or bottom of the video image. An image can be
superimposed over the video image, for extra information.

Video Stream

expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the browser.
Define the maximum frame rate (fps - frames per second) allowed for each viewer, to avoid bandwidth
problems on the network.

affect the Test image. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note that the preview image is in
JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.
