Configuration

Once finished with the setting in the Viewing Window, click Save to enable the

settings and click Close to exit the window. The selected Output Frame Size will

immediately be applied to the Frame size of video stream. You can then go back to

the Live Video to test the new settings.

Sensor Setting: Click Sensor Setting to open the Sensor Setting page. On this

page, you can set the maximum exposure time, exposure level, and AGC (Auto

Gain Control) setting. You can configure two sets of sensor setting: one for normal

situations, the other for special situations, such as day/night/schedule mode.

Exposure

• Maximum Exposure Time: Select a proper maximum exposure time according

to the light source of the surroundings. Shorter exposure times result in less

light reaching the sensor. The exposure times are selectable for the following

durations: 1/120 second, 1/60 second, 1/30 second, 1/15 second, and 1/5

second.

• Exposure level: You can manually set the Exposure level which ranges from 1 to

8 (dark to bright).

• Max. Gain (Auto Gain Control): You can manually set the AGC level (2X 4X, 8X,

16x, or 32x). The higher the value, the brighter the image will be.

You may click Preview to fine-tune the image, or click Restore to recall the original

setting without incorporating the changes. When completed with the setting on

this page, click Save to enable the setting and click Close to exit the page. If you

want to configure another sensor setting for day/night/schedule mode, please click
