Saturation
This represents the amount of color in the image. The higher the number,
the more saturated the color.
Haze
This represents the amount of haze subtraction. The higher the value,
the more haze is subtracted and the image results in higher contrast.
Using the Auto Haze function is recommended over setting the haze
manually.
Auto Haze
Haze subtraction is automatically determined by the camera.
Enabling Auto Haze is recommended.
JPEG Quality
The JPEG Quality is a balance between lossy image compression
and image quality. The higher the number, the less compression artifacts
in the image, but the bigger the file size.
A value higher than 90 is not
recommended, as it greatly increases the file size with very little
noticeable difference in image quality.
Sharpen
When enabled, software sharpening is performed on the live image.
For the best image quality, Sharpen should be enabled.
MISCELLANEOUS
Frame Skip
To lower the frame rate (and bandwidth), increase this value. A value
of 0 means full frame rate, a value of 1 means skip every other frame, a
value of 2 means skip every two frames, etc.
COLOR BALANCE
Auto Color Balance
Enabling Auto Color Balance causes NetCam to automatically adjust
the color balance of the image based on the content of the image. In most
situations, you will want Auto Color Balance enabled.
Auto Color Balance Type
• Average - An average of the entire image is used to determine color
balance.
• Bright - Only bright areas are used to determine color balance.
•
Spot - Only spot areas are used to determine color balance.
• Automatic - The camera automatically selects the best method to
use.
