Modulation: (This is the exact same setting that was on the previous tab. It’s inclusion here is just as a
convenience.) Modulation is the speed of the communication that video is sent from the cameras to the hub.
Generally installers keep this setting consistent for all the cameras on a hub. If the cameras are relatively close, and
have a good signal strength (-55dB to -65dB), then 36 is fine.
If the cameras are at a distance, and/or have a weaker signal level (-66dB to -70dB) Then most installers will
change this setting to “24” in order to achieve a more reliable video link.
Bandwidth: This value represents the amount of compression that is applied to the video stream. High bandwidth
will produce better quality video, but larger file sizes.
Bandwidth Usage Graph: This graph represents the amount of available bandwidth that the camera is consuming
at the current settings
Retransmission Graph: The green graph to the right of the camera settings, indicates how hard the hub is having
to work to retrieve video from the camera. This is a good indication of RF noise, and interference.
Night Mode Transition: This setting influences at what level of brightness that the camera will shift into IR mode.
(the default setting is generally best)
Brightness: The power level of the IR illuminator. This may be adjusted as needed to provide the best nighttime
video. (Nearby reflective objects may require the level be lowered, whereas far away targets may need more
output power)
Video Preview Box: Push the “play” icon on the video window to watch a live feed from the camera. This is useful
for focusing, and evaluating your setting changes on the resulting video.
IMPORTANT : The settings on this page are saved and sent to the camera immediately. There is no “save” button
on this page. Changing the modulation rate, may result in the camera briefly dropping the wireless link while the
mode change goes into effect.
Note: The above digram is from a (1) camera system. More or less cameras will display (scroll down) depending on your installation.
