Camera Window
The Camera window provides options for making certain video adjustments, exposure control, and
configuring the operation of the IP camera day and night filters.
The IP camera day and night filters allow the IP camera to optimize its video image for various lighting
conditions. When the IP camera uses its day filter, it is operating in day mode. In this mode, the camera
displays video images in color. When the IP camera uses its night filter, it is in night mode. In this mode,
the camera displays video images in black and white.
To display the Streaming window, perform the following steps:
Procedure
From the IP camera user interface, click the Setup link.
Step 1
Step 2 Click Feature Setup to expand the menu.
Step 3 From the Feature Setup menu, click Camera.
The Camera window appears. If you change any options in this window, you must click the Save
Settings button to save the changes. If you do not click this button, changes are not retained when you
exit the window. Save Settings appears at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to it.

Streaming Window Options (continued)
Description
Choose an option for the video quality of the video stream from the IP
camera:
Constant Bit Rate—Available for the primary stream only. Specifies
•
that the video stream is output at or close to the constant bit rate that you
choose. The default value is 4 Mbps. A higher bit rate provides better
video quality but consumes more bandwidth.
Fixed Quality—Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which
•
ranges from Very High to Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain this
quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality
provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth.
You can use these options to help manage bandwidth use in your network.
For example, if the IP camera is focused on an area with little movement,
such as an emergency exit, you can configure it with a low fixed quality.
This option applies to the primary stream only.
Check this check box if you if you want the IP camera to enable analog video
for installation purposes. To enable analog video, the following settings are
required:
The primary video stream frame rate must be set to 15 fps or lower.
•
The secondary video stream must be disabled.
