EDIT

Double-clicking on a device in the 

Device Added

 portion of the window will display 

information regarding the connected remote device. Making any changes within this window 
will not change anything on the camera or remote device itself. To make those changes, you 
will need to access the camera or other remote device (such as a DVR) directly, or through 
one of the remote methods described in the 

Remote Monitoring Guide

Once you have made those changes, you will need to update the user name and password 
within the 

Edit

 window. Failing to change these in this window will result in an on-screen 

message about incorrect password and may lock you out of the IP camera for a period of 30 
minutes in the case of QC-Series cameras - other brands may vary.

It is important that you do not remove the 
device you are making the changes upon 
from the list of connected devices before 
editing the information in the 

Edit

 window. If 

you later remove the device from the list and 
wish to reconnect, you will need to do so 
using the 

Manual Add

 feature as described 

below.

IMPORTANT!

  To avoid connection issues, you should not change the 

information within the 

Edit

 window unless you have first made those changes 

to the remote device itself. 

CONFIGURING IP CAMERAS

You can configure the settings of an IP camera by clicking on the appropriate camera icon 
under the 

IPC Config

 column. This will open a new window allowing you access to the 

camera’s settings. You can optimize your camera’s video to compensate for unusual lighting 
in the area or other factors. Unlike making similar changes on a monitor or other display, 
changing these settings will affect the video itself and the video will be recorded to the hard 
drive according to your settings.

Gain

 - This is electronic amplification of the 

video signal. It is used to brighten the 
image by amplifying the signal, but it 
comes at the risk adding “noise” to 
the video. When the 

Manual

 radio 

button is selected, you can adjust the 
gain using the slider.

Brightness, Contrast, Hue 

and

 Saturation

  -   

These adjustments operate similarly 
to those on a television or monitor.

Mirror

 and 

Flip

 - Individual circumstances can force users to mount their cameras in non-

standard or less-than-ideal positions. And, sometimes, a user will realize that they 
mounted their camera upside down after they’ve put the ladder and tools away. 
Enable 

Mirror

 to switch the image left to right. 

Flip

 will turn the image upside down.

BLC Mode

 - BLC, or Back Light Compensation enables the camera to adjust its settings so 

that a subject in front of a light source - such as a window - does not appear as a 
darkened, featureless figure. 

Profile

 - These are a combination pre-configured settings that allow you to quickly optimize 

a camera to certain lighting conditions. It is useful if the area where your camera is 
located has a unique lighting situation. There is also the option to set up your own 
User-Defined settings. In this mode, you can adjust the red and blue balance, set 
when the camera will switch over to day (color) or night (black and white) mode and 
adjust the camera’s electronic shutter speed using the 

Exposure

 option. This latter 

setting will increase or decrease the amount of light entering the camera.

After making your changes, click on 

Save

 to preserve them. You can also revert back to the 

factory settings by clicking 

Default
