Note:
This menu item is only visible when mobile is switched off because videos cannot be transmitted
without an associated image.
CAUTION!
Video transmission can only be activated if you have a suitable data plan and
only via the ZEISS Secacam app. For more information on data plans, see:

Photo+Video: First, the camera takes a photo(s) and then a video. The number of photos
or the length of the following video depends on the settings under the menu items
“Multi shot” or “Video length”.
CAUTION!
Saving a video with the “Photo+Video” setting may delay mobile transmission of the captured
photos. Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length.
5.2 Image size
There are three image sizes to choose from with the ZEISS Secacam:
•
5 MP = 5.0 megapixels = 2592 x 1944 pixels
•
8 MP = 8.0 megapixels = 3,264 x 2,448 pixels
•
12 MP = 12.0 megapixels = 4,000 x 3,000 pixels
We recommend setting the resolution to 5 MP. Although a higher resolution might result in a partially
improved photo quality, it results in larger photo files which, accordingly, require much more space on the
memory card. Since the camera has a 5.0 MP CMOS image sensor, the resolutions 12 MP and 8 MP are
generated by interpolation. Photos are taken in a 4:3 aspect ratio and saved in the JPEG format.
Note:
This setting only affects the images saved on the SD card, not the images sent via mobile (see 5.12).
5.3 Multi shot
Select the number of photos (1 to 5 photos) to be taken in quick succession when triggered in Photo mode.
5
P
5 images, each 1 second apart
5
P
5 images, < 1 second interval
In practice, the “5P” setting has proven most effective for common use cases. If the camera registers a
movement, it will take 5 photos consecutively with a gap of approximately one second between two photos.
With this series of photos, you increase the likelihood of capturing a moving object at least once.
However, you can also choose the option to have 3, 4 or 5 photos triggered very quickly one after the other.
If the camera registers a movement, it will take 3 to 5 photos consecutively with a gap of around one second
between two photos.
Note:
When the mobile unit is switched on, in the default setting only the second photo is sent for each
series of photos. Experience has taught us that the second photo has the highest chance of showing a
moving object the best.
You can set the delay between two recording series under the “Pause capture” menu item (see below).
5.4 Video resolution
There are three video resolutions to choose from with your ZEISS Secacam:
•
1080p = 1920 x 1080 pixels
•
720p = 1280 x 720 pixels
•
480p = 640 x 480 pixels
