brightness from 0. After selecting your setting, please wait a

few seconds for the camera to adjust accordingly.

The DCS-950G will be able to detect simultaneous users

connected to it and indicate the amount with a digital readout

next to the green icon on the video window.

The DCS-950G is able to record video from the Web Browser

Using the Conﬁguration Menu

I-frame and P-frame mode and I-frame and BP-frames are

selectable. This determines how many repeated P frames will

appear after one I frame. A large “Key frame interval” can reduce

the bit rate, but can cause image to be corrupted longer if there

is packet loss while transmitting. The video quality may be poor

due to the sending of maximum frame rate within the limited

bandwidth when images are moving rapidly. Consequently, to

ensure detailed video quality (quantization rate) regardless of

the network, it will utilize more bandwidth to send the maximum

frames when images change drastically.

This is the refresh frame rate. By default the frame rate is set

to 15 frames per second (fps).

The higher the bit-rate the better the picture quality, but at the

same time the ﬁle size will also be larger. For low bandwidth

network a lower bit rate than 352k is advised

The camera name will display as the title of the window within

the Windows operating system. This name will also appear on

the log-in screen (once a password has been set).
