Video Quality
You can choose one of three video qualities by using the Zetta Widget software.
They are High, Medium, and Low. High Quality means that the video is saved with
the least amount of file compression; Low Quality with the most compression. The
default video quality is High. Once you’ve clicked on High, Medium or Low, make
sure to click on Sync Settings to DVR and leave the camera’s three-position switch
on Custom mode.
Resolution
When using Custom Mode, select between VGA (640 x 480) and QVGA (320 x
240) to suit your needs. VGA affords better resolution while QVGA provides longer
recording time. The default setting in the Zetta Widget software is QVGA. If you
move the slider on the camera away from Custom Mode, all custom settings will be
disabled and recording resolution will be determined by positioning the switch at On-
the-go Mode (VGA) or Surveillance Mode (QVGA).
Frame Rate
You can choose to record video at a High frame rate (20 fps) or at a Low rate (6 fps).
High is closer to full motion, while Low enables longer-duration recordings. The Zetta
Widget default frame rate is High.
Indoor Lighting Condition
The camera can be set to match the frequency of electricity in various countries to
provide the most pleasing video under indoor lighting. For use in North America, the
software should be set to 60 Hz, though you’re unlikely to see much difference. The
default is 50 Hz.
Day / Night Mode
Set to “Day mode” if the camera’s location offers adequate lighting. Set to “Night
mode” for poor lighting conditions. Set to “Auto” if the lighting condition will change
while the camera is operating. Make sure to click on Sync Settings to DVR and keep
the camera’s three-position switch on Custom mode. The default is Day mode.
Orientation
The camera can operate upside down. You may want to put this capability to use
when finding an optimum hiding position. That way, you can still have easy access to
either side of the camera in a tight corner. Resulting video will appear upside down
on your computer unless you choose the Up-side-down option in the Zetta Widget
software. Make sure to click on Sync Settings to DVR and keep the camera’s three-
position switch in Custom Mode. The default is Normal orientation.
