A maximum of four independent live zoom windows can be opened for each camera. Each zoom window will display live video at the image resolution provided by the camera. Fig. 4.6 4.2.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en 25 Settings menu (shown on the left) is the toplevel menu for all settings provided in the Bosch Video System. Selecting one of the menu items opens up a lower level drop-down menu containing detailed settings and options. Depending on the camera model, some of the listed groups of settings may become unavailable (for example, Day/Night settings are available only for the NWC-0900 camera).
26 en | Software MegaPixel IP Cameras “High Speed" is to enable the shortest exposure time, "Short Exposure" between 1 and 10 ms. This option will reduce motion blur, but may result in a noisier video due to a high gain under low light conditions. “Speed" is to enable short exposure time of 10 ms in good lighting conditions. In low light situations, the exposure time will gradually increase to 80 ms. This comes at the expense of higher motion blur.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en 27 ‘Quality’ (compression) adjusts the level of JPEG compression applied to the images in different display modes: "Full View" when displaying full resolution video; "Multi View" when displaying multiple cameras at a reduced size; "Zoom View" when displaying zoom windows. Slider at 100% yields best image quality (lowest compression). ‘Adjustment’ "Brightness" adjusts image brightness. "Sharpness" adjusts image sharpness. "Saturation" adjusts image color saturation.
28 en | Software MegaPixel IP Cameras "Rotate 180" is an option for flipping the image vertically and horizontally such that it is rotated 180 degrees. 4.2.6 Archive Archive is a lower-level menu that is not functional in this software version.

Note: Select to Detected by Camera when Motion Triggered Recording on DiBos8 is used.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en – 4.2.8 31 "Limit" serves as a guard against false triggering due to a sudden overall change in lighting that would trigger motion detection in a large number of zones simultaneously. If the number of zones activated simultaneously is larger than "Limit," motion detection will be blocked. This parameter cannot exceed the number of zones in the grid (displayed in the lower left corner of Motion Settings).
32 en | Software 4.2.9 MegaPixel IP Cameras Advanced "Use DirectX if possible" is an option to use DirectX functions that utilize graphics card hardware to display images, instead of using the software. This reduces the load on the CPU. The drop-down list "DirectX size" provides options for the graphics area size supported by DirectX. "Auto - Startup" is an option to start the Bosch Video System automatically when Windows starts up.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en 33 helps to avoid conflicts when multiple users are viewing the same camera (each will be able to set a different image size). Alternatively, disabling this option allows for increase of the camera frame rate due to a smaller image size. 4.2.10 Permission Permission (access control) is used to set up password-protected access to the Bosch Video System.
34 en | Software 4.2.12 MegaPixel IP Cameras Day/Night Day/Night settings apply only to the NWC-0900 camera. "Automatic" enables the camera to switch automatically from daylight conditions (using the color sensor) to nighttime conditions (using the monochrome sensor) and vice versa, based on the Threshold settings (see below). "Day" enables the daylight mode and disables the nighttime mode. "Night" enables the nighttime mode and disables the daylight mode.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en 35 ‘Auto-Iris’ can be disabled by un-checking "Enabled". The camera will open the iris fully and have electronic auto-exposure enabled. This configuration is identical to using a manual lens. Auto-iris will open the lens fully once the in-camera analog gains exceed a certain level. The “Gain” scroll bar adjusts the point where the auto-iris will open fully: the higher the gain, the later the auto-iris will open as the illumination diminishes.
36 en | Software MegaPixel IP Cameras tory can be specified in the Settings menu (see Settings). ‘Photo’ enables saving and printing individual snapshots, as well as browsing: – "Save" takes a snapshot of live video and saves it in the snapshot directory. The snapshot is taken from the camera that is highlighted in the drop-down list of the installed cameras (see Section 4.2.1 Toolbar). To highlight another camera, left-click on the camera number.
MegaPixel IP CamerasSoftware | en 37 ‘Hide’ minimizes the Bosch Video System application and hides it in the system tray of the Windows task bar. ‘Log off’ logs off current user and hides the Video System application. ‘Exit’ exits the Video System application. ‘About’ shows the version of the Bosch Video System software and the additional information for each of the installed camera(s): camera type, firmware and hardware version, MAC and IP addresses. 4.2.
