5-6-4  Camera Calibration 

  Camera Calibration allows users to manually calibrate and find 

the center image of the camera. Since the camera has already been calibrated before 

shipment, calibrating the camera is not usually needed. However, if the image will be 

flipped through Video Flipping / Video Mirroring function (see 

Image

 on page 71), the 

camera must be recalibrated. With this function, you can also adjust the center of the 

image. 

Before using this function, Video Application Mode must be set to Preview Mode (see 

5-6-1 Camera Options

 on page 42), if the current camera does not meet the required 

settings for calibration, a message similar below will appear. Required settings vary 

depending on model. 

 

You may need to go to the Camera Options and Compression menu to modify the 

configuration according to the required settings for calibration (see 

5-6-1 

Camera Option 

on page 41). 

Click the Camera Calibration button to enable this function. The red circle with appear 

on the screen. 

 

 

 

Move the mouse cursor within the red circle and drag towards the target area you want to 

cover. The radius of the circle may also be resized by dragging one of the square tabs.   

Drag any of the tabs 

to resize the circle.
