Set the format, resolution and quality of the image saved on the SD card and the snapshot interval and quantity and the timing snapshot here. Snapshot Quantity: The number you set here is the maximum quantity of snapshots. The actual quantity of snapshots may be less than this number. Supposing the occurrence time of an alarm event is less than the time of capturing pictures, the actual quantity of snapshots is less than the set quantity of snapshots.
Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image. Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts. Hue: Set the total color degree of the image. Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color, the brighter the image is.
Exposure Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed can be adjusted. Smart IR: Choose “Auto”, “ON” or “OFF”.
