  • Video size - video resolution supported by the camera and LearningSpace
  • Quality - the quality of the camera image on a 10 scale (the lower the worse is the camera image but the smaller is the recording size)
  • Audio source - source of audio for the camera feed

: audio device assigned to the camera (if it does not have a built-in microphone)
  • . If available, built-in microphone will be the default audio source.

    Info

    For cameras without built-in audio, one of the external audio sources has to be selected from the Audio source drop-down, in order the camera to be able to be assigned to a room within LearningSpace.
    In case the "use without audio" option is selected, you can assign the camera to a room but the videos will be recorded without audio, which means that in this case audio track will not be recorded.

    Image Added

  • Audio gain (dB) - volume setting for the audio source (built-in mic or selected source): you can change the volume of the audio by increasing or lowering the audio gain
  • White balance - adjustment of the intensity of white color in the camera feed: how should the camera handle light exposure (change the image if it is too bright or too dark)

Info
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: it flips the camera image by 180 degrees.
