Advanced Configuration
In this chapter, additional setup and configuration settings related to the following topics are described:
• Setting up the video streams to optimize quality and network performance
• Selecting NTSC or PAL analog video format
• Optimizing the thermal image
• Configuring the camera to work with a third-party VMS (ONVIF)
When configuration changes are made with the web browser, the settings are saved to a configuration
file. It is a good idea to make a backup of the existing configuration file prior to making changes, and
another backup once the changes are finalized. If necessary the camera can be restored to its original
factory configuration or one of the saved configurations (refer to
Files Menu, pg. 33
).
3.1
Setup Menu
It is necessary to have control of the camera to make Setup changes. Changes made through the
Setup
menu have an immediate effect (it is not necessary to stop and restart the server). To use these
settings at power up, it is necessary to save the changes (
Save Settings, pg. 30
).
