Manual Input: Click it for a specific day to enter specific start and end times. This
adds more granularities (minutes).
Day schedule
Set the alarm time for alarm a special day, such as a holiday.
Note: Holiday schedule takes priority over weekly schedule.
⚫Snapshot Settings
Go to Config→System→Storage→Snapshot to go to the interface as shown below.
Set the format, resolution and quality of the image saved on the SD card and the
snapshot interval and quantity and the timing snapshot here.
Snapshot Quantity: The number you set here is the maximum quantity of snapshots.
The actual quantity of snapshots may be less than this number. Supposing the
occurrence time of an alarm event is less than the time of capturing pictures, the actual
quantity of snapshots is less than the set quantity of snapshots.
16

Timing Snapshot: Enable timing snapshot first and then set the snapshot interval and
schedule. The setup steps of schedule are the same as the schedule recording (See
Schedule Recording).
6.2 Image Configuration
Image Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI Config.
6.2.1 Display Configuration
Go to Image→Display interface as shown below. The image’s brightness, contrast,
hue and saturation and so on for common, day and night mode can be set up
separately. The image effect can be quickly seen by switching the configuration file.
Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image.
Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts.
Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.
Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color, the brighter the image
is.
Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the
image edge.
Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing
the value will make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image
17

resolution.
Defog: Activating this function and setting an appropriate value as needed in foggy,
dusty, smoggy or rainy environment to get clear images.
Backlight Compensation (BLC):
⚫Off: disables the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.
⚫HWDR
◆WDR can adjust the camera provide a better image when there are both very bright
and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering the brightness
of the bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area. High, middle and low
can be selected.
◆Recording will be stopped for a few seconds while the mode is changing from non-
WDR to WDR mode.
⚫HLC: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of
the image’s bright area and reducing the size of the halo area.
⚫BLC: If enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the
object of the image in the darkest area will be seen clearly.
HFR: If this function is enabled, the system will restart and then the maximum value of
the frame rate of the main stream can be set to 60 fps. (This function is not available
for motorized zoom cameras).
Anti-flicker:
⚫Off: disables the anti-flicker function. This is used mostly in outdoor installations.
⚫50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
⚫60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment
automatically.
Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
Day/night Mode: Please choose the mode as needed.
Sensitivity: High, middle and low can be selected for switching back and forth from day
to night modes.
Infrared Mode: Choose “ON”, “OFF” and “Auto” (This function is not available for the
cameras without infrared lights).
Exposure Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter
speed can be adjusted.
Corridor Pattern: Corridor viewing modes can be used for situations such as long
hallways. 0, 90, 180 and 270 are available. The default value is 0. The video resolution
should be 1080P or below if this function is used.
Image Mirror: Turn the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: Turn the current video image vertically.
Schedule Settings of Image Parameters:
Click the “Schedule” tab as shown below.
18

Set full time schedule for common, day, night mode and specified time schedule for
day and night. Choose “Schedule” in the drop-down box of schedule as shown below.
Drag “ ” icons to set the time of day and night. Blue means day time and blank means
night time. If the current mode of camera parameters is set to schedule, the image
configuration mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the
schedule.
6.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to Image→Video / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the
resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network
condition.
Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
19

Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the video is smoother.
Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means
that no matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the compression bitrate
will be kept constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted
according to scene changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much
movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This can help optimize the network
width usage.
Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the
better the image quality will be.
Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image
quality, the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of
pictures”. When a new scene begins in a video, until that scene ends, the entire
group of frames (or pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not
much movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine,
potentially resulting in less bandwidth usage. However, if the value is set too high,
and there is a high frequency of movement in the video, there is a risk of frame
skipping.
Video Compression: H264 and H265 are optional. If H.265 is chosen, make sure the
client system is able to decode H.265.
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: How many snapshots to generate for an event.
Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, smooth image can be gotten even
though using the low-performance PC.
Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the
watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check the watermark box and enter the
watermark text.
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: MIC and LIN are selectable.
6.2.3 OSD Configuration
Go to Image→OSD interface as shown below.
