4.1.3 Local Config
Go to ConfigSystemLocal Config. You can set the storage path of the captured pictures
and video records. You can also enable or disable the video audio.
4.2 Image Configuration
Image Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI Config.
4.2.1 Display Configuration
Go to ImageDisplay interface as shown below. You may set and adjust the picture’s
brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, etc.
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 is, 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.
Backlight Compensation:
Off: Close the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.
WDR

11
Network Camera User Manual
www.tbkvision.com
As to the WDR scene, WDR will help the camera provide clear images when there are
both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering the
brightness of the highlight area and increasing the brightness of the lowlight area. High,
middle and low can be selected.
There will be some record lost in a few seconds during mode changing from non-WDR to
WDR mode.
HLC: Lower the brightness of the whole image by suppressing the brightness of the
image’s highlight area and reducing the size of the halo area.
BLC: The exposure will begin automatically according to the scene for the goal of seeing
the darkest area of the image.
Antiflicker:
Off: Close the anti-flicker function.
50Hz: Make sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device
is adjusting the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the
electric supply is 50Hz.
60Hz: Make sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device
is adjusting the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the
electric supply is 60Hz.
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.
Infrared Mode: You may choose “ON”, “OFF” and “Auto” as required.
Exposure Mode: You may choose “Auto”or “Manual”as required.
Corridor Pattern: You can change the direction of the video image by using this function. 0,
90, 180 and 270 are available. The default value is 0. The video resolution should be 1080P or
under 1080P if you use this function.
Image Mirror: Reverse the current video image right and left.
Image Flip: Turn the current video image upside down.
4.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to ImageVideo / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, you can set the
resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network
condition.
Click “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.

12
Network Camera User Manual
www.tbkvision.com
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more
storage room will be taken up.
Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video
resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording.
VBR means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the
video resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the
image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is over high, the
read speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.
Video Compression: H264 and H265 are optional. Higher quality of image can be transferred
under limited network bandwidth by using H265 video encoding, however, higher quality of
the hardware is required.
Profile: Baseline, main/high profiles are optional. Baseline profile is mainly used in
interactive application with low complexity and delay. Main/high profile is mainly used for
higher coding requirement.
Send Snapshot: Please select it according to the actual situation.
Video encode slice split: If enabled, you may get more fluency image even though using the
low-performance PC.
Watermark: If enabled, input the watermark content. You may check the watermark when
playing back the local record in the search interface, lest the record files is tampered.
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: MIC and LIN are selectable.
