Camera Exposure parameters don't appear on the phone web page. For information on camera exposure, see
Adjust the Camera Exposure, on page
Procedure
Step 1 On the phone web page, select Admin Login > Advanced > Voice > Phone.
Step 2
Under Supplementary Services section, from the Video Serv list, select Yes to enable video services or No
to disable the service.
Step 3 Click Submit All Changes to save your settings.

Control the Video Bandwidth

If you have a busy network or have limited network resources, users may complain about video issues; for
example, the video may lag or suddenly stop.
By default, the phone automatically selects a bandwidth setting that balances the audio and video network
requirements.
You can configure a fixed bandwidth setting to override the automatic selection, if required for your network
conditions. If you configure a fixed bandwidth, select a setting and adjust downwards until there is no video
lag.
Procedure
Step 1 On the phone web page, select Admin Login > Voice > Phone.
Step 2 In the Video Configuration section, choose a bandwidth from the Bandwidth Allowance list to restrict the
maximum amount of information that the phone can transmit or receive. For more information see
Configuration, on page 245
Step 3
Click Submit All Changes.

Adjust the Camera Exposure

You can adjust the camera exposure for the ambient light in your office. Adjust the exposure to change the
brightness of the transmitted video.
Your users can also adjust the exposure on the phone from Applications
> Exposure menu.
