Adjusting camera image settings
You may need to adjust the camera image depending on the location
background in order to get the best image quality.
The system has four preset mode settings for frequently encountered lighting
conditions; Standard, Indoor, Low light and Outdoor. However, you can also
manually adjust the brightness, saturation, contrast, and hue values using the
Customize option. Adjustments to the settings affect both live view and recorded
images.
Note: These options can also be modified from the image settings button on the
live view quick access toolbar (see “Accessing frequently used commands” on
page 34.)
To adjust display settings:
1. Click the Camera Management icon in the menu toolbar and select Image .
2. Select the camera for which to adjust the video image settings.
3. Select the desired mode value. Changes are seen immediately on screen.
If “Customize” is selected, adjust the brightness, saturation, contrast, and hue
values by dragging each scroll bar.
4. Click Apply to save the settings and then click Back to return to live view.
Hiding a camera image from view
There may be occasions when you want to control who can see a camera image
on a local monitor, such as if there is a camera located in a changing room. The
DVR lets you select which camera (or cameras) is not displayed on the local
monitor unless the user is logged in and has permission to view the camera
images. A covert camera is not displayed on screen when no user is logged in.
Instead a person walking by sees a black screen with the Interlogix logo. See
Figure 40 below.
