THROTTLE
Throttle sets the upper limit on the image rate delivered to your computer. Lowering the throttle reduces the load on the network and on your
computer, which might be helpful when resources are limited. The throttle setting is available only when QuickStream is selected.
TAKING A SNAPSHOT
1. Click the Take a Snapshot button.
2. A dialog box opens, allowing you to open or save the file.
3. Select one of the following options:
Open: Your computer’s photo editing program opens and displays the screen image. This function is available only when using
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
7.0 (or later) or Mozilla
®
Firefox
®
3.0 (or later).
Save: The image is saved as a JPEG file at the location you specify.
Cancel: The captured image is not opened or saved and the dialog box closes.
NOTE: The captured image resolution is 2016 x 1523 and is not dependent on the stream that is selected.
Settings Page
Depending on user permissions, the Settings page allows you to manage camera system and network settings, set up users, configure events,
and control the camera imaging and streams.
NOTE: The Settings menu might not be available if the user does not have permission to access this feature.
ACCESSING THE CAMERA MENUS
1. Log on to the camera.
2. Click the Settings link in the navigation bar located in the upper-right corner of the page; a list of menu tabs appears.
3. Place your mouse pointer over a tab to display a list of submenus.
System Tab
Use the System tab to change general system settings, configure the time settings, set up the text overlay and image overlay for the live view,
install licenses, configure backup and restore, display system information, and access snapshots generated by event handlers.
General System Settings
The general system settings page includes configurable fields for the device name, time settings, text overlay, and image overlay. The device
name is the user-friendly description of the camera displayed in the gray area near the top of screen. The time server is an external server that
uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings. The text overlay settings allow you to customize the
appearance of the video by displaying overlays such as the device name, or the date and time at the top or bottom of the video stream. The image
overlay settings allow you to customize the appearance of the video by displaying an image, such as a corporate logo, at the top or bottom of the
video stream.
You can also use the general system settings page to turn the camera’s LEDs on or off and to configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
server to send an email notification when an event handler is activated.
NOTE: Contact your network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local network.
You can also use the general system settings page to generate a system log, reboot the camera, or restore the camera’s factory default settings.
