This option allows you to adjust the image quality and streaming
settings on your cameras.
Exposure Settings controls how much light enters your camera. It is
necessary to change the Exposure Settings if you are working in a low
light area or a very bright area. By default, the Exposure Settings are
set to Auto Shutter.
Select the appropriate Mode for your camera ( Auto Shutter or Fixed
Shutter ), and then set the appropriate Auto Shutter Speed or Fixed
Shutter Speed .
Different light sources produce different colors of light, which can affect
your image and make it seem too orange, too green, or too blue. Use
the White Balance Settings to adjust the color temperature of your
camera.
1. Click White Balanc e and select Auto , Auto-Tracking White
Balance (ATW) , or Manual .
2. If you select Manual , adjust your Red ( Rgain ) and Blue ( Bgain )
levels.
Adjust the Brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue of your
image, as desired.
IR Function is enabled when using a camera equipped with IR
Illuminators. IR Illuminators enable the camera to see in very low light
situations, and are set to
Smart by default.
When a camera is aimed at a door, window, or shaded area where
there is a lot of light in the background, details of the objects and people
in the shade can be lost. Wide Dynamic Range (
WDR ) corrects for this
and makes it possible to see all the detail in the shaded area while
keeping the definition of the objects in the bright area. Set
WDR to Low ,
Mid , or High depending on the amount of difference between the light
and dark areas of the image.
Different exposure settings and lighting conditions can result in digital
interference in your image, referred to as Noise, which looks like static
on old televisions. To reduce noise, select the appropriate
Noise
Reduction level.
Your AvertX cameras are capable of dual streaming, which means they
send two different streams of video at different resolutions. The HDIP
recorder records both streams. The higher resolution will display when
you view a single camera full screen, and the lower resolution displays
when viewing multiple cameras at once. This allows the recorder to
provide the best live image quality and record the high resolution image.

Video Rotation
–
Rotate or flip the image if the camera is
placed on a table, wall, or ceiling.

Bit Rate
–
Set the data transmission speed for your camera. A
lower compression will result lower image quality but a smaller
file size and more bandwidth availability.


–
Adjust the frame rate for your camera. A higher
frame rate results in more bandwidth and less available
storage space.
