Chapter 3

 

Advanced Viewing Setup 

This Chapter provides information about the optional settings and features for 
viewing video via the Wireless/Ethernet Network Camera. This Chapter is for 
Administrators only. 

Introduction 

After finishing setup via the Windows-based Wizard, the Wireless/Ethernet Network Camera 
can immediately be used by all users on your LAN.  

Refer to 

Chapter 5 - Viewing & Recording

 for details on viewing and recording live video. 

This chapter describes some additional settings and options for viewing live Video: 

• 

Adjusting the video image 

• 

Controlling user access to the live video stream 

• 

Making video available from the Internet 

• 

Using the 

Motion Detection/E-mail

 feature 

Adjusting the Video Image 

If necessary, the Wireless/Ethernet Network Camera Administrator can adjust the Video 
image. Settings are provided for: 

• 

Image size

 - Select the desired size. The larger sizes require greater bandwidth. 

• 

Image quality

 - This determines the degree of compression applied to the Video stream. 

Higher quality requires greater bandwidth. 

• 

Power Line frequency 

- Select 50Hz or 60Hz power line frequency, as used in your 

region. The correct setting will improve the picture quality under florescent lighting. 

• 

Exposure

 - Adjust the brightness of the image, if the 

Auto-Exposure

 does not give 

satisfactory results. 

• 

Color Adjustment

 - Red, Green, Blue intensity can be adjusted. 

• 

Time Stamp

 - If enabled, the time will be displayed on the Video image. 

• 

Text Overlay

 - If enabled, up to 20 characters can be superimposed on the Video image. 

This is useful for identifying the camera. 

• 

Audio

 - If desired, audio can be included in the video stream. 

To Adjust the Video Image: 

1.  Connect to the Web-based interface of the Wireless/Ethernet Network Camera. (See 

Chapter 4 - Web-based Management

 for details.) 

2. On 

the 

Administration

 menu, select 

Image

. You will see a screen like the example below.
