Maximum frame rate: Type in the number of frames the camera should
generate per second of video. The higher the value, the smoother the video,
but the more bandwidth is going to be required. Valid entries are 1 to 30.
Quality: You can control the image quality of the video by selecting “Fixed
Quality” and defining the image quality by selecting one of the following values
“Medium,” “Standard,” “Good,” “Detailed” and “Excellent.” Or you can choose to
specify the bit rate of the video the camera must not exceed. In this mode the
camera varies the image quality automatically to not exceed the specified
maximum.
Video – Day/Night
Some Intellinet network cameras are equipped with active IR LEDs providing
the ability to capture video in complete darkness. Note, that if your camera is
not equipped with IR LEDs, this menu will not be available. Also note that some
menu items will vary depending on your camera model.
Infrared cut-off filters are designed to reflect or block mid-infrared wavelengths
while passing visible light. They are often used in network video cameras to
block IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared
light. With the filter in place before the image sensor, the camera will not be
able to pick up IR light, but it generates true color video. Once the IR cut filter
is removed, the camera becomes IR light sensitive and will generate a black
and white image – and it does that even in complete darkness if the IR LEDs
are active.
IR Cut Filter Mode:
“Auto” – The camera decides when to remove the IR cut filter based on the IR
Cut Filter Threshold you can specify. The switch delay ensures that the camera
only switches the IR Cut Filter after the specified amount of time has passed.
“Day Mode” – In this mode the camera does not remove the IR Cut Filter from
the image sensor regardless of any other settings. Select the day mode if you
don’t want the Intellinet network camera to capture video in low light conditions
or darkness.
