User manual

brightness Set an average value for the brightness (gain) control. The value of
the brightness corresponds to the shade of gray of the gain
correction (For example, 0.4 = 40% gray. The resulting image will
have an average brightness that is 40% white). Select the value by
clicking the Up or Down buttons, or by entering a number into the
text input field. Return to the default brightness (0.40) by clicking
the Default button.
night mode When this feature is enabled, the camera will discard all color
information, essentially creating grayscale images. When
automatic is specified, the camera will dynamically enable the
feature for dark scenes. In dark scenes, there is often little or no
useful color information, so image quality will improve with
monochrome images. Additionally, monochrome images compress
better and transmit faster than comparable quality color images.
gain style This feature determines how the camera's gain is effected by
lighting conditions in the field of view. For instance, when set for
average, the camera will average the total light in the image and set
the gain accordingly. Setting also include Peak and Dark gain.
flip/rotate Select a flip or rotate setting to properly orient the camera's image.
The default orientation is when the mounting screw hole is facing
down. The Horizontal and Vertical settings reflect the camera's
image. BLTR reflects the image across a diagonal line starting in
the bottom left corner of the image and extending to the top right
corner. TLBR reflects across the diagonal extending from the top
left corner to the bottom right corner. The 90, 270, BLTR, and
TLBR settings require additional processing, which may slow
down performance. When satisfied with the image position and
size, click the Next>> link that appears near the bottom of the
page.
A/C power For indoor camera installation, or when the camera is
frequency focusing on a scene lit by artificial lighting, choose the correct
A/C power frequency to prevent banding in the images.
The United States uses 60hz. For other countries, check
with the power utility to determine which frequency is used.
timestamp Enable or disable a timestamp overlay that will appear on the
image.
timestamp position Select a position for the timestamp that appears on the image.
timestamp color Select a color for the timestamp that appears on the image.
overlay text Enter a text message that will appear as an overlay on the image.
Disable the text overlay by deleting the text from the text field.
text position Select a position for the text overlay.
