Configuring Network Client
16 Network Client
• Adjust the slider to the right during low network traffic for lower video compression, increased
picture quality, and increased bandwidth usage.
4 Select Motion Sensitivity
• Normal (faster): subtle changes in motion are less important; decreased number of
intermediate (delta) images transferred to Network Client; highest delta (change) threshold
setting; decreased bandwidth usage.
• High (slower): Subtle changes are more important; Increased intermediate (delta) images;
Lowest delta threshold setting; Increased bandwidth usage.
About Image Quality
The image quality setting depends on video quality, compression, and network bandwidth
requirements. Higher quality images are not as compressed, so they contain more details and are
larger. Larger images require more bandwidth for data transport.
As you increase the image quality setting, transmission is slower because there is more data to
transport. Use the High setting when picture quality in the live video output is more important than
the number of images received.
If you have a high traffic network, setting the image quality to Low increases the speed of Live
Video images. However, the quality of the image is lower because the image is more compressed
and smaller. Compressed images can be transported easier over a network. Use the Low setting
when picture quality in the live video output is not as important as the number of images received.
About Video Motion Sensitivity
Motion Sensitivity determines the significance of subtle changes in motion in a camera’s view.
When a camera records an image between two major images, it is because something in the
image changed. If the unit is configured to note subtle changes, it is set to the lowest delta
(change) threshold.
Normal Motion Sensitivity:
• Allows subtle changes without recording many intermediate or delta images.
• Transfers fewer delta images to Network Client, so it does not use as much bandwidth as
high Motion Sensitivity.
High Motion Sensitivity notes small changes by recording more intermediate images and using
more bandwidth to transfer those images.
Use normal Motion Sensitivity when subtle changes are less important, and high Motion Sensitivity
when those changes are more important.
Variations in lighting conditions are considered motions. Exterior cameras recording from day to
night, or interior cameras recording areas with lighting turned on or off sense motion when the
lighting changes. Normal lighting is required for recording useful video. Adjust the filter sensitivity
for the lowest lighting condition that applies (e.g., low sensitivity for low lighting), and then tests the
