Configuring Camera Settings using a Web Browser
To configure camera video quality settings:
TIP: Change only one camera image quality setting at a time before clicking Sav
e &
Apply so you can judge the effects.
1. Configure the following, as needed:
• Internet speed: Sel
ect the speed of your Internet connection. If your Internet
connection is faster than 1.5Mbps, select 1.5Mbps.
• Adjust resolution and frame rate automatically: Select to allow the camera to adjust
the video resolution and frame rate based on available bandwidth.
NOTE: Resolution i
s the number of pixels (dots) used to make up the video image. A
higher resolution means that more detail can be expressed in the video, but it increases
the amount of bandwidth required to stream the video.
Frame rate is the number of frames (images) per second (FPS) shown in a video. A higher
f
rame rate means that movement in the image appears smoother, but it also increases
the amount of bandwidth required to stream the video.
• Use the f
ollowing values: Select to manually select the video resolution and frame
rate for the camera. Note that the image quality may decrease if there is not enough
bandwidth for your selected settings.
• Resolution: Manually select either VGA (640x480) or QVGA (320x240) resolution. VGA
resolution will give you a better, more detailed picture, but requires more bandwidth.
QVGA allows the camera to maintain a higher frame rate when available bandwidth
is low.
• Frame rate: Manually select the frame rate between 30fps (highest) and 1fps (lowest).
30fps is real time video, meaning that movement in the image will appear smooth,
with no choppiness.
• Favor/Preference: Select whether you would like the camera to reduce the image
quality or the frame rate when bandwidth increases or decreases. Select Video
Motion to have the camera maintain the frame rate and reduce image quality when
bandwidth is insufficient. Select Image Quality to have the camera maintain image
quality and reduce frame rate when bandwidth is insufficient. Select Better Quality
to have the camera maintain frame rate and increase quality when bandwidth is
sufficient. Select Best Quality to have the camera maintain the frame rate and
increase quality to the maximum speed of the connection.
