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

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. How to Save a Camera Position in System |
- Video size - video resolution supported by the camera and LearningSpace
Note |
---|
The sizing of camera streams might not be optimal (images might be cut) with a 4:3 video size (aspect ratio). The recommended ratio is 16:9 (e.g. 1280x720). |
- 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. 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.- 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)

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.
