Video & Image

Image

Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be rotated, the image resolution and

compression be adjusted, and the white balance be changed. The image can also be mirrored to change the

perspective.

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 required.

Please see the online help for further information on these settings.

Mirroring

Mirroring is the horizontal flipping of an image, that

gives you another image perspective. This does not

affect performance.

Mirroring is a useful function when you need a direct

view of the image - for example, in ATMs and door

phones. A person looks into the camera and a direct view of the face is displayed. The mirror settings should

be defined before we define the parameters for privacy masks and motion detection.

Text Overlay Settings

The date, time, and user defined text can be included on one

line, either on the top or bottom of the video image.

It is also possible to set how the text and text background are

displayed.

You can set the text to be either black or white,

and the text background can also be set to black, white,

semi-transparent, or transparent.
