How to Configure Video Settings of IP Camera
Understanding the settings
In order to get the optimal use out of your IP camera(s) first review and understand the following pages:
Basic
Advanced
Brightness - makes video feed brighter or darker
Contrast - difference in luminescence or color that makes an object
distinguishable, this varies from blending to separating hue
saturation - difference in black and white to full color. This can cause issues
when compressing an image since it takes more information to process colors.
Also if the picture is over saturated then it will also cause blurry or
artifact pixels which will cause less compression in the image to occur.
Sharpness - is the edge contrast among its surroundings, this can blur or define
details in an image. The sharper the image the more noise it will create in a
moving image. This causes the compression to render more of the image which
results in a larger bit stream and saved file size.
Gamma - A nonlinear lighting adjustment used to eliminate blinding whites and
absolute dark areas. Think of this like brightness with contrast included, and
use it to accent darker areas as a fine adjustment.
Anti-Flicker - Used for lights (mostly florescent lights) to sync up the rate at
which they pulse. This is used if you see indoor lights flickering on the camera
Exposure:
Auto, this will automatically adjust the exposure time and the gain (aka ISO)
for the average lighting setting in the area
Low Noise - This setting will maximize the gain for the ideal exposure. Low
Noise Basically turns up the ISO to the best setting without sacrificing exposure
timing.
Low Motion Blur - This setting will maximize the fastest exposure time, and will
sacrifice the gain in return.
Manual - This setting lets you select your exposure time and have the gain adjust automatically. Selecting customized range will let you both the gain an adjust the gain manually.
