Control bandwidth, brightness, compression, contrast, resolution, rotation and more in Video settings. Use the list on the left side of the wizard window to select a camera and adjust its video settings. Then select the next camera and adjust its settings. Video settings are to a large extent camera-specific, so you must configure these settings individually for each camera.
Click Open Settings Dialog to configure the camera's settings in a separate dialog. When you change video settings, they are applied immediately. This means that—for most cameras—you can immediately see the effect of your settings in a preview image. However, it also means that you cannot undo your changes by exiting the wizard. For cameras set to use the video formats MPEG or H.264, you can typically select which live frame rate to use for the camera.
Video settings may feature an Include Date and Time setting. If set to Yes, date and time from the camera are included in the video. Note, however, that cameras are separate units which may have separate timing devices, power supplies, etc. Camera time and XProtect system time may therefore not correspond fully, and this may occasionally lead to confusion. As your system time-stamps all frames upon reception, and exact date and time information for each image is already known, Milestone recommends that you set it to No.
Note: For consistent time synchronization, you may automatically synchronize camera and system time through a time server if your camera supports this.
