Saturation
Adjust the color saturation of the video image.
Color
Select color or black and white mode. The default is COLOR.

Adjust the frequency of the sensor to match with lighting. If you notice flicker in your
video, please adjust this frequency. The default is 60Hz.
White Balance
White balance is a color adjustment and controls the ratio of blue light to red light. Adjust
to AUTO or MANUAL. The default is AUTO.
Maximum Exposure
Select a proper maximum exposure time according to the light source of the
th
surroundings. The number is the fraction of a second (1=1/1 second, 30=1/30 of a
second). Shorter exposure times result in less light coming to the sensor. The default is 30.
Exposure Level
Manually set the Exposure level, which ranges from 1 to 8 (dark to bright). 1 is the default.
Auto Gain Control AGC
AGC works to improve the quality of the video when light conditions are poor. 4X is the
default.

Sets the resolution of the video from that camera from 176x144 up to 1600x1200. The
default is 1600x1200.
Frame Rate
The default frame rate is 15 frames per second (the camera will capture 15 images every
second). For certain resolutions the camera will operate up to 30 frames per second. The
lowest frame rate is one frame per second. The default is 15fps.
Video Bitrate
This is the rate at which the video is compressed and recorded at. The bit rate range is 64-
4,608 kbps (kilobits per second). The default is 2mbps (2 megabits per second). Reducing
bit rate reduces the storage requirements of the video but also reduces the quality. For
higher quality at reduced bitrates, consider also reducing the frame rate.
Mute Audio
Enables audio recording in the camera. Set to FALSE to enable audio recording.
Note that listening to live audio or recording audio from a camera may be illegal in your
area. Please consult with the local authorities.
