Saving a Still Image
If you see the Save Still to SD Card button from the Live View page, the camera supports the ability to take
snapshots of live video from the web interface.
To use this feature, the following settings are required for the camera:
l There is an SD card in the camera. For more information, see the camera's installation guide.
l The camera's Onboard Storage settings are enabled on the Storage page. For more information, see
Storage on page 18.
l The camera's video format must be set to JPEG in the Compression and Image page. For more
information, see Compression and Image Rate on page 14.
Once all the requirements have been met, you can click Save Still to SDCard any time from the Live View page
and the image is automatically saved to the SD card.
To download the snapshot, complete Downloading Recorded Video From the Web Interface on page 19.
Snapshots are listed in the Recordings list without a duration, and are downloaded in JPEG format.
Using the PTZ Camera Controls
If you are accessing a standalone Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera, you can control Focus and Presets in the same
way as other cameras but you also have access to other features that are specific to the PTZ camera.
