Color Balance / Type of Lighting /
Red Balance / Blue Balance
Use this control to specify the color balance settings that will be
used by the camera. The four pre-configured Color Balance
selections are:
• Fluorescent: Best color balance settings for locations with
fluorescent lighting.
• Incandescent: Best color balance settings for locations with
incandescent lighting.
• Daylight: Best color balance settings for locations with natural
lighting.
• Auto-detect: Analyzes the current lighting conditions and
automatically selects the best.
You can also select Custom and specify Red Adjustment and
Blue Adjustment values.
Use the sliders to adjust the Red and Blue Adjustment values.
Values from 0 to 255 are available.
Mode The resolution at which images are captured for use in alert
notifications. Note that this resolution setting does not affect the
resolution of the image displayed in the Cameras View.
Rate Specifies the refresh rate for image captures when a picture alert
is triggered. Note that this rate setting does not affect the refresh
rate of the image displayed in the Cameras View.
Image Quality Specifies the amount of compression that will be applied to
captured images. As compression is increased, file sizes
decrease but the quality of the image decreases as well. The
available values, from highest image quality/largest file size to
lowest image quality/ smallest file size, is High Quality, Normal
Quality, Normal Compression and High Compression.
Note: Actual frame rate available from image processor depends
on the resolution and image quality of generated images.
Maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second is available only
at Normal Quality or lower and only at resolutions up to
640x480. Maximum frame rate for 800x600, 1024x768, and
1280x1024 (if available) at Normal Quality or lower is 10
frames per second.
For example, if you configure a Camera Pod 120 to capture
images in High Quality, the Maximum Frame Rate for some
resolutions changes: At 640x480 and lower resolution the
maximum frame rate drops from 30 frames per second to 20
frames per second. In 800x600 the maximum frame rate is
unchanged (stays at 10 frames per second). In 1024x768 and
1280x1024 the maximum frame rate drops from 10 frames per
second to 8 frames per second.
