4.2 Video Configuration
Video Configuration includes Image Settings, Video/Audio Setup, OSD, Privacy Mask and Region of Interest.
4.2.1 Image Configuration
In the Image Settings interface as shown below, various settings can be adjusted, such as brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation
and so on. The common mode and day and night mode can be set up separately. The image effect can be quickly viewed by
switching the configuration file.

11
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 resolution.
Defog: Activating this function and setting an appropriate value as needed in foggy, dusty, smoggy, or rainy environment to get clear
images.
Lens Distortion Correction: When the image appears distortion to some extent, please enable this function and adjust the level
according to the actual scene to correct the distortion.
Auto Iris: If your camera is auto Iris, please enable it.
Backlight Compensation (BLC):
⚫Off: disables the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.
⚫WDR: WDR can adjust the camera to 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.
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: High Frame Rate. If “ON”is selected, the system will restart and then the maximum value of the frame rate of the main stream
can be set to 60 fps /50fps.
Antiflicker:
⚫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.
Smart IR: Choose “ON” or “OFF”. This function can effectively avoid image overexposure so as to make the image more realistic. The

12
higher the level is, the more overexposure compensation will be given.
White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Day/Night Mode: Choose “Auto”, “Day”, “Night”or “Timing”.
Exposure Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed can be adjusted.
Gain Mode: Choose “Auto”or “Manual”. If “Auto”is selected, the gain value will be automatically adjusted according to the actual
situation. If “Manual”is selected, the gain value shall be set manually. The higher the value is, the brighter the image is.
Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
Infra-red Mode: Choose “Auto”, “ON”or “OFF”.
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 “Profile Management” tab as shown below.
Set full time schedule for common, day or night mode and specified time schedule for day and night. Choose “Timing” in the
drop-down box of schedule as shown below.
Drag “ ” icons to set the time of day and night. Blue means daytime and blank means night time. If the current mode of camera
parameters is set to “Timing”, the image configuration mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the
schedule.
4.2.2 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.

13
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
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 bandwidth 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: MJPEG, H264+, H264, H265 or H265+can be optional. MJPEG is not available for main stream. If H.265/H.265+ is
chosen, make sure the client system is able to decode H.265/H.265+. Compared to H.265, H.265+ saves more storage space with the
same maximum bitrate in most scenes. Compared to H.264, H.265 reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution,
frame rate and image quality.
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: Set the snapshot stream.
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.
Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: LIN. LIN/MIC can be selected if the model supports built-in microphone.
Speaker: Talkback or Warning can be optional. If “Talkback”is selected, the built-in speaker will be used to output sound for two-way
talk. If “Warning”is selected, the built-in speaker will be used to output the pre-defined audio alarm.

14
Please set LIN/MIC IN Volume and audio out volume as needed.
4.2.3 OSD Configuration
Go to Video→OSD interface as shown below.
Set time stamp, device name, OSD content and picture overlap here. After enabling the corresponding display and entering the
content, drag them to change their position. Then click the “Save” button to save the settings.

4. Return to the live to verify that the area have been drawn as shown as blocked out in the image.

15
To clear the video mask:
Click the “Clear” button to delete the current video mask area.
4.2.5 ROI Configuration
Go to Image→ROI Config interface as shown below. An area in the image can be set as a region of interest. This area will have a
higher bitrate than the rest of the image, resulting in better image quality for the identified area.
1. Check “Enable” and then click the “Draw Area” button.
2. Drag the mouse to set the ROI area.
3. Set the level.
4. Click the “Save” button to save the settings.
