3.6. Video Settings
The IP CAM is designed to provide high quality video for viewing from CamView
software. In this page, you cam modify some settings related to the video viewing:
1. Password(play video) – this is the password needed for viewing the video from the
CamView software. Together with the IP CAM ID, you can view the video of this IP
CAM anywhere in the world through the Internet.
2. Internet speed – this is the Internet bandwidth of your network environment.
Higher value will generate higher video quality. But if your internet connection can
not provide more bandwidth than the specified value, the video quality could
degrade. So, please key in a value that is lower than your internet bandwidth.
3. Select resolution & frame rate automatically – you can let the system select the
suitable video resolution and frame rate automatically for you. The selection is
based on the “Internet speed” value. This is the recommended default setting.
4. Resolution – there are three choices : 160x120, 320x240 and 640x480. If you
decide to choose the value manually, you can choose one of the three values. But,
please be noticed that if the Internet speed is slow(low value), high
resolution(640x480) or frame rate could cause very bad video quality.
5. Frame rate – the video frame display rate. Higher value means faster movement
and continuity in the video display.
6. Favor/Preference – choose between “Video motion” and “Image quality”. When
the real bandwidth is not enough for the selected “Internet speed”, the system will
need to degrade the video motion or image quality. This selection will decide if the
user want to maintain the “video motion” or “image quality” when the internet
speed is not good enough.
7. Brightness – the brightness of the video, lower value means darker display.
8. Low light ability – The low light ability could be enabled or disabled. When the low
light ability is enabled, the system could see better video clearance under low light
situation, but the moving object will not be very clear under this low light
environment.
9. Video color – choose between “colored” and “black&white”.
10. Video reversal – can do “vertical” and/or “horizontal” video reversal display, this is
needed if the ip camera is hung on the ceiling or wall.
11. Outdoor/Indoor video – for better video display quality, modify this setting when
taking indoor or outdoor video. The default setting is “Outdoor video”, in most
cases, this is also ok for indoor usage. Under some special cases, there could be
some strip lines on the video display when the IP camera is taking indoor video. In
this situation, change the setting to “Indoor video” will solve the problem. Please
also be noticed that in “Indoor video” setting, the video display of outdoor view is
