4.3.2 Video
Use the Video menu to set all the video parameters for the cameras connected to the AP-5004. There is
one video screen for each camera with the following parameters:
Standard - sets the video signal format. Choose NTSC in the US, or PAL in Europe and most Asian
countries.
Brightness- adjusts the amount of light or brightness for the selected camera according to your
preference.
Contrast - adjusts the difference between light and dark areas or contrast for the selected camera
according to your preference.
Saturation - adjusts the amount of color for the selected camera.
Hue - adjusts the dominant color for the selected camera.
Quality (All) - adjusts the video quality for all cameras. The default setting is 80. We recommend that
you do not set this value to 100 to avoid slow video transmission and using up hard disk space
easily.
Compression Boost- enable you to compress the video signal to save disk space and thus extend
recording time. It is recommended to keep this setting to None. The higher the compression boost, the
lower the video data rate. We recommend you use the H.263 or MPEG4 algorithm for low data
