  • Page 19: Administrator Settings

    Administrator settings Configuration / video Best performance is produced by the maximum frame rate with best video quality and minimum network bandwidth. The three factors “Max frame rate”, “Constant bit rate” and “Fixed quality” on the video configuration page are interrelated. Mobile access to the CMOS network camera Many modern mobile telephones support access to MPEG4 videostream and GSM-AMR audio data.

  • Page 20: Protecting The Cmos Network Camera With A Password

    For higher-quality pictures For best video quality, set “Fixed quality” to “Detailled” or “Excellent” and the “Max frame rate” so that it corresponds to the bandwidth of your network. If your network is slow and you get “broken” images, go to the TCP protocol under Connection Type and select a more suitable transmission mode.

  • Page 37: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)

    B. Frequently asked questions (FAQ) Q. What do I do if I forget my password? A. Every access to the CMOS network camera requires an authentication. If you are one of the managing users, ask your administrator for your password. If you are the administrator, there is no way of reactivating the root password.
  • Page 38 Q. Why is access to the CMOS network camera not possible while I am setting options in the application? A. If the CMOS network cameras are started by events, snapshots need more time since they are written to memory. If the events occur too often, the system is constantly trying to store the pictures. If an event occurs very frequently, use sequential mode or an external recording program to record the pictures.
