Note

: Video Proﬁle 3 is always set to MJPEG as the Encode Type to

ensure that at least one of the Video Proﬁles are viewable by non-IE

browsers. Video Proﬁle 4 is for mobile devices only, and always uses

MPEG-4 as the Encode Type.

Enable Night Mode

: Check this box to enable Night Mode. Night mode

allows the camera to use a longer shutter speed when the camera is in a

low-light environment. If the camera is in an area where there is sufﬁcient

lighting, Night Mode will not affect the video stream.

Shutter

: This sets the longest shutter speed Night Mode will use when

Night Mode is enabled and the camera is viewing a low-light scene.

Light Source

: Here you can set the kind of lighting used in the area your

camera is monitoring to improve the image quality of the video.

Enable Microphone

: Checking this box will enable you to listen to audio

picked up by the camera’s microphone. This will allow you to hear what

is happening near your camera.

Volume

: This sets the volume level of the incoming audio.

Note

: Higher frame size, frame rate and bit rates will give you better video

quality, but they will also require more network bandwidth. For best viewing

results on a mobile phone, we suggest setting the frame rate to 5 fps and

bit rate to 20 Kbps.
