3.6. Video Settings
The IP CAM is designed to provide high quality video for viewing with the
CamView software. On this page, you can modify some of the settings related to
video viewing:
1. Password (play video) – this is the password needed for viewing the video from
the CamView software. Together with the IP CAM ID, you can view the video of
this IP CAM anywhere in the world through the Internet.
2. Internet speed – this is the Internet bandwidth of your network environment.
Higher values will generate higher video quality, but if your internet connection
cannot provide more bandwidth than the specified value, the video quality could
degrade. So, please enter a value that is lower than your internet bandwidth.
3. Select resolution & frame rate automatically – you can let the system select the
most suitable video resolution and frame rate automatically. The selection is
based on the "Internet speed” value. This is the recommended default setting.
4. Resolution – there are three choices: 160x120, 320x240, and 640x480. If you
decide to set the value manually, be aware that if the Internet speed is too slow
(low value), a high resolution (640x480) or frame rate could cause serious
degradation of video quality.
5. Frame rate – the video frame display rate. Higher values mean faster movement
and continuity in the video display.
6. Favor/Preference – choose between "Video motion” and "Image quality”. When
the real bandwidth is insufficient for the selected "Internet speed”, the system will
need to degrade the video motion or image quality. This selection determines
which aspect of video quality is most important to you.
7. Brightness – the brightness of the video. A lower value means a darker display.
8. Sharpness – the sharpness of the video. A higher value means sharper video.
9. Low light sensitivity – The low light sensitivity can be normal, high, or very high.
When the low light sensitivity is high, the system can produce better video clarity
under low light conditions, but moving objects will lose clarity. Under very dark
environmental conditions, setting the sensitivity to "very high” will get better video
clarity. The default value of this setting is "high”.
10. Video color – choose between "colored” and "black&white”.
11. Video flip – the video output can be inverted for situations in which the camera is
mounted upside down, such as on a ceiling.
12. Outdoor/Indoor video – for better video display quality, set this to the appropriate
value for the environment in which the camera will be used. The default setting is
"Outdoor video”, which in most cases is also ok for indoor usage. Under some
special cases, there could be some strip lines on the video display when the IP
