Table 2 - 2: Edit Prole Options
Item Option Description
Video Codec MJPEG
H.264
MJPEG: Each video frame is individually compressed as single jpeg image with full-scale
contents itself and can be retouched freely with ease. However, due to completeness of
each frame, it brings about larger le size and thus easily tends to lose frames under limited
network bandwidth.
H.264: The latest best-renowned video compression format, it adopts intelligent technology
to record variation in each frame rather than record each full frame. As a result, less network
bandwidth it requires and le size is prone to be smaller compared with MJPEG.

Frame Rate (fps) NTSC: 1~30
PAL: 1~25
The utmost fps settings for 2 systems varies as the following:
NTSC: H.264 single stream: 2592×1944@12fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream:
2048×1536@15fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@30fps
PAL: H.264 single stream: 2592×1944@12fps; H.264/MJPEG single stream: 2048×1536@15fps;
H.264/MJPEG single stream: 1920×1080 to 320x180@25fps
GOP (Group Of
Pictures) Length
NTSC: 1~60
PAL: 1~50
Select the GOP length number from NTSC: 1 to 60 / PAL: 1 to 50. Less number means the
distance between 2 I-frames is smaller, which needs more network bandwidth with better
image. By contrast, larger number consumes less bandwidth but is hard to be recovered. The
available length number options of GOP will vary based on frame rate settings.
QoS (DSCP)
Codepoint 0 ~ 63
To classify and manage network trac and provide quality of service (QoS) on modern IP
networks, Dierentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a computer networking architecture
that specifies resources allocation to each device on a priority-based pattern for ideal
bandwidth management. The bigger value, the higher priority it will be.
Bit Rate Mode CBR: Constant Bit Rate
VBR: Variable Bit Rate
Choose the bit rate control selection based on user requirements. Higher bit rate values will
result in better quality with bigger le size and thus consume more network bandwidth.
CBR stands for constant mode with certain xed rate by user denition, while VBR means
variable mode in which users can set a range of upper and lower limits respectively for bit
rate control.

Exposure
Figure 2 - 7: Exposure
●Exposure Mode
It controls the light intensity of picture. There are 2 modes, Manual Exposure and Auto Exposure for adjustment depending on
dierent conditions. When in Manual mode, Shutter Speed is adjustable.
●Advanced Exposure
Advanced exposure section is for users to modify more detailed options related to exposure.
• EV Compensation: It is the exposure compensation telling the unit by setting value from -2.0 to 2.0 with intervals of per 0.5
for scenes to be either darker or brighter. (Unavailable when exposure mode is manual)
• Noise Reduction: It is the process of removing noises from a signal and be set from 0-255 to decrease noise on the screen.
• BLC: Set an area for Backlight Compensation. Backlight Compensation is a function that achieves the brightness of a selected
area to optimal image level. This function is necessary when an auto iris lens tends to close due to an intense light coming
from back of object in the area wished to view so that the area is too dark and dicult to see. In this case, users may set the
area corresponding to the portion wished to see. (Unavailable when exposure mode is manual)
• WDR: It is intended to provide clear images even under backlight circumstances where intensity of illumination can vary
excessively, namely where there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the eld of view. WDR enables
the capture and display of both bright and dark areas in the same frame, in a way that there are details in both areas, i.e.
bright areas are not saturated, and dark areas are not too dark.
• Day & Night: Set Day/night function by selecting Auto/Color/BW mode. Select Auto to allow the camera to switch between
Color and BW automatically. If selected Color mode, the unit is forced to stay in Day (Color) mode and BW for Black & White
(Night) mode at all times.
• Day to Night Threshold: Use ‘-’ or ‘+’ or enter a value from 0-99 to manually adjust the threshold of when the camera switches
from Color to BW.
• Night to Day Threshold: Use ‘-’ or ‘+’ or enter a value from 1-100 to manually adjust the threshold of when the camera
switches from BW to Color.
• Switch Delay Time: Use‘-’ or ‘+’or enter a value from 1-10 to manually adjust how long the switch will be delayed.
• A light spectrum shows where each of the thresholds sets in relation to one another and to the current value detected.
Note Settings will be restored to the factory defaults if pressing“Reset to default”.

White Balance
To set the white balance values to meet ambience condition for best color rendition with 2 modes:
Figure 2 - 8: White Balance Settings
●Auto
It automatically controls color temperature ranging from 2500°K to 10000°K
●Manual
To manually set preferred gain values including the following:
• R (Red) Gain: It allows users to adjust red color in the image ranging from 0 to 255.
• G (Green) Gain: It allows users to adjust green color in the image ranging from 0 to 255.
• B (Blue) Gain: It allows users to adjust blue color in the image ranging from 0 to 255.
Note Settings will be restored to the factory defaults if pressing“Reset to default”.
Basic Color
Figure 2 - 9: Basic Settings
●Brightness
Set image brightness from level -255 to 255. The 255 indicates the brightest image.
●Contrast
Set image contrast from level 0 to 255. The 255 provides the highest contrast.
●Hue
Set picture hue from level -15 to 15. Selecting 15 provides the deepest hue.
●Saturation
It describes the dierence of a color from the gray of the same lightness. Increasing saturation deepens the colors of your
images, making reds redder and blues bluer. Users can adjust picture saturation level from 0 to 255. Decreasing saturation
brings the image closer to a grayscale (that is, monochrome or black-and-white) image. Selecting 255 provides the highest
image saturation.
●Sharpness
Increasing the sharpness value will sharpen the edges and small feature of viewing images. If the edges appear too
smooth or blurred, increase the sharpness; otherwise, decrease the sharpness. Sharpness value can be set from 0 to 15.
The 15 oers the sharpest image.

18
●Gamma Correction
Set gamma correction between 1 and 0.45.
●Video Orientation
Set image to be left right reversal, upside down or both by selecting “Mirror”, “Flip” and “Both” individually. Selecting “OFF”
will deactivate video orientation function.
Note Settings will be restored to the factory defaults if pressing“Reset to default”.
Remote Lens Control
(For Motorized Lens Model)
Figure 2 - 10: Remote Lens Control
●Zoom Control
• Use the zoom bar to zoom in and out, or click on a position on the bar to zoom to that position. The number indicates the
current zoom level.
• Use the focus bar to set focus, or click on a position on the bar to set focus at that position. The number indicates the current
focus level.
• The buttons < and > move the zoom/focus position one step in either direction. The buttons << and >> move the zoom/
focus position in multiple steps in either direction.
• Click“Start Focus”to have the lens focus automatically immediately.
• Click“Start Calibration”to have the lens calibrate and focus auto simultaneously at once.
Note Settings will be restored to the factory defaults if pressing“Reset to default”.
Smart Encoding
On the Smart Encoding page you can specify a specic region of the video as more important. When a smart encoding area
is specied, the camera will assign a higher number of bits to the encoding region to deliver better video quality than other
regions.
Figure 2 - 11: Smart Encoding Setting

19
To dene a smart encoding area, you need rst to turn ON one of the Smart Encoding Regins and adjust by pressing with
left click and dragging to outline a desired region, Click anywhere on the image to cancel the current dened region. Click
“Save Window”to make settings take eect. If you intend to delete settings, click“Clean Window” to wipe out smart encoding
region settings.
Note Settings will be restored to the factory defaults if pressing“Reset to default”.
Privacy Zone
Privacy Zone enables users to black out a specic portion of the screen for privacy concern. There are up to 8 sets of privacy
zones for users to dene. After setting up a privacy zone, the live view screen will appear a frame, whose color, size and
position can be customized by users’preference.
Figure 2 - 12: Privacy Zone Setting
To set up a privacy mask, you need rst to turn ON one of the eight privacy zones (multiple available) and adjust the privacy
mask size by pressing with left click and dragging to outline a desired privacy frame. Also, users can select a desired color
(Black, Grey or White) for privacy zone. Press “Save Mask zone” to make settings take eect. If you intend to delete settings,
click“Clean Mask zone”to wipe out privacy zone settings.
Note It is recommended to set the privacy zone slightly larger than the actual area to ensure that privacy area is
not revealed during movement.
