Video Clip Format:
The camera has the ability to send out short video clips to an
FTP server, via e-mail or to a local SMB network storage
device. Find more about that in the advanced section. Here
you define the format of the video clip. You can choose
between H.264 and MPEG4. Each of these streams can be
defined individually in terms of video resolution and quality in
the corresponding menus.
IR Threshold: If your camera is equipped with Infrared, you can define the
behavior of the camera under different light conditions.
On: Activates night vision permanently. The camera removes
the IR cut filter and activates the IR LEDs. The resulting
image is black and white, but the camera can capture video
even in complete darkness.
Off: Permanently deactivates the night vision mode. Even at
night or under poor light conditions the camera will continue
to send color video. The disadvantage is that the video may
not contain any visual details due to the low light levels.
Auto: The camera automatically activates the night vision
mode based on the Bright and Dark parameters.
Schedule: The camera automatically activates the night vision
mode based on a programmed schedule for each hour and
day of the week.
The “Bright” value defines the threshold at which the camera
switches from IR mode to color mode.
The “Dark” value does the opposite. It tells the camera at
which light level to remove the IR cut filter and activate the IR
LEDs.
The Bright parameter defines the time when the camera goes
into color mode in the morning while the Dark parameter tells
the camera when to engage the night vision mode at night.
Note: Some models may show only one slider, which
combines both the bright and dark setup.
Overlay: You can activate a text overlay on the live image. This can be
either a date and time stamp along with the camera’s alias, or
it can be a privacy mask. Refer to the overlay section in style
1 for more detailed information on the setup.
Note: The text overlay is only active for H.264 and MPEG4 video.
