|
Image Quality
|
Select the image quality for the camera when using the JPEG format. [Favor Clarity, Standard (default), Favor Motion]
(If using the MPEG-4 or H.264 format, this option will be disabled.) |
Recording Data
|
Select to record the image with audio (Audio and Image) or only images (Image Only) (default).
|
Resolution
|
Selects the camera image resolution. Camera resolutions vary according to the camera that is connected and its data format. Default is 320 × 240.
|
Bit rate
|
Selects the camera image bit rate.
|
Specified Frame Rate
|
The frame rate can be selected.
The images on the multi-monitoring window are updated and recorded at the maximum frame rate which is set by selecting [Specified]. JPEG: [Not specified], [Specified] (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1-30 images/second) MPEG–4/H.264: [Not specified], [Specified] (1, 5, 10, 15, 30 images/second) |
Record Size (estimate)
|
The estimated recording size is calculated based on the number of days of recording that is specified according to the above setting. (1 to 60 days. Default is 30 days)
•
When [Specified Frame Rate] is set to [Not specified], the predicted value with calculations made with 30 frames per second is displayed.
|
Image Data from Camera
|
Displays an error message if images could not be acquired for one minute during recording.
|
Internet Mode
|
Use [Internet Mode] when the data format for WV series network cameras and some BL series network cameras connected over the Internet is MPEG-4 or H.264.
When "ON" is selected for [Internet Mode], the camera will transmit MPEG-4 or H.264 data while confirming received data from the software. This makes it possible to receive MPEG-4 or H.264 data with the broadband router using the same settings as for receiving JPEG images. •
When the registered camera is a BL series camera (excluding some models of BL series cameras), this setting is displayed in gray and cannot be selected.
