Here is a brief review of these options:

Option

Description

Resolution

The Resolution dropdown option allows you to set VGA or QVGA resolution. By

default, your cameras are set at QVGA (320 x 240) resolution and 15 frames

per second (fps). You can experiment with your camera resolution and frame

rate to produce the ideal results given the capabilities of your PC. Choosing

higher a resolution requires a faster CPU and Video Card to smoothly render

live and stored video to the screen.

Frame rate

The Frame Rate option allows you to choose video capture speeds between 15

fps (frames per second) and 5 fps. Choosing a higher frame rate requires a

faster CPU and Video Card to smoothly render live and stored video to the

screen.

Bit rate

The Bit Rate option allows you to specify the speed at which the picture is

transferred. Higher bitrate means bigger file size and generally better video

quality while lower bitrate means lower file size but worse video quality.

Camera order

Change the order in which this camera displays in the Setup program and on

the live video feed.

Enable Motion LED

Check this box to enable the front red LED on the camera. When activated, the

red LED will blink when the camera senses motion.

Delete a Camera

Setup > Camera > Camera # >

DELETE CAMERA

button.

When you unplug a camera from your system, Werks retains the settings of the camera (password, name,

position, etc.), allowing you to move your camera to other needed locations around your home or office. In all,

Werks anticipates that you will return the camera to the system. If you are permanently removing a camera

from the system, you can free the camera position by deleting the camera using the Delete Camera command.
Here are the steps:

Open the Setup program.

Click on the Camera tab.

Click on the camera button for the camera you want to delete.

Click on the

DELETE CAMERA

button and click the

YES

button to confirm delete choice.

Note: Deleting a camera will remove all of your local camera configuration options, but it does not delete the

stored video.

Recording Options

The Setup > Recording tab allows you to manage the recording of live video from your cameras to your PC hard

drive. It allows you to manage motion detection, schedule recording times, and manage disk usage.

Learn About Motion Detection

By default, each camera automatically records video anytime it detects any motion. Recording only motion has

the advantage of saving disk space. Luk Cameras also allow you to change from “entire image” motion

detection, to individually defined zones. These smart cameras have the capability of detecting motion in up to

16 regions – which we call motion zones. This is useful if you want to eliminate detection along the road and

limit it to the parking lot only. Motion detection works by comparing the difference between consecutive frames

of video and calculating if any scene changes have been detected.
