The The cogwheel in each row of a configured camera prompts the Camera Settings window to open, where the following settings can be specified:

  • Name - camera name for distinction
  • Autofocus - only for PTZ cameras: when checked, the focus is set automatically when using pant-tilt-zoom
  • Current position - only for PTZ cameras: a preset position that can be saved by typing in a title then clicking the Add button
Info
NOTE: Once a new position is added, the 'Available positions' drop-down appears with a Go to and a Remove button, activating or deleting the selected position respectively.
  • Video size - resolution of the camera feed
  • Quality - quality of the video
  • Audio source - source of audio for the camera feed (if the camera does not have a built-in microphone)
  • Audio gain (dB) - volume setting for the audio source (built-in mic or selected source)
  • White balance - adjustment of the intensity of white color in the camera feed
Info
NOTE: Normally, the 'Automatic' setting is optimal, it should only be changed under special circumstances.
  • Upside down - for ceiling-mounted PTZ camera types, checking this setting allows for switching the original (ceiling) perspective
