4.5 Adjusting and Framing Up the Camera View
Once you have the camera attached to the network and running, you will want to frame up
the scene and adjust the camera settings to optimize the picture for your individual scenes.
If you are using Latitude, you may consider scheduling different settings for changing
ambient conditions throughout the day, week, month or seasons.
To Adjust and Frame-Up the Camera View
1.) In the DeviceSearch application, click Device Search and in the results click to select
the camera, right-click to open the shortcut menu and select Browse.
-OR-
Enter the camera’s IP as a URL in a web browser.
2.) When the Internet browser connects to the camera and prompts for login, do the
following:
Log in using the default user name “Admin” and password “1234”.
Allow the ActiveX to download and choose to install the DVTel Web Player.
Tip: To view greater image detail for more accurate high-definition focusing, on the Web Base
Viewer homepage click and use the full screen view for checking adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Best focusing results can be achieved when the lens Iris is fully open
(such as at night in low light). This prevents loss of sharpness if light levels are
reduced at night.
To achieve this during the day, in the Web Base Viewer go to the Camera
Exposure screen and select from the Exposure Setting menu Auto-shutter
mode. Save changes and complete the focusing steps. When finished, restore your
Exposure settings as needed.
3.) Adjust the Pan and Tilt as follows:
For Indoor installations (no housing):
a.) Loosen the tension screw on the bracket/stand and move (pan and tilt) the camera so
that the field of view is optimized for your scene and retighten the tension bolt to hold
the camera in place.
b.) On the camera, adjust the zoom ring and focus ring on the camera lens for your scene.
If you have a manual Iris, also adjust the iris ring on your lens.
