Image Appearance
Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be 
rotated, the image resolution and compression can be adjusted, and 
the white balance can be changed.
The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall 
performance, depending on how it is used and on the available 
bandwidth. Setting higher resolution and lower compression 
improves video image quality, but increases the amount of 
bandwidth used. 
Refer to the online help for further information on these settings. 
Text Overlay Settings
Use these settings to include text and date 
and time overlays. 
These overlays are included on one line, at 
the top or bottom of the video image.
Video Stream
Define the maximum video stream time 
per session in seconds, minutes or hours. 
When the set time has expired, a new 
stream can be started by refreshing the 
page in the browser. For unlimited video 
stream time, select the Unlimited radio 
button. Note that the maximum video 
stream time does not apply to clients 
connecting via multicast.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network. To 
allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio button. 
For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note 
that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and 
MPEG-4.
