Zoom/Focus.

1.3.1 Display Configuration

Go to ImageàDisplay interface as shown below. You can set and adjust the picture’s brightness,

contrast, hue and saturation, etc.

Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image.

Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts.

Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.

Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color is, the brighter the image is.

Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image edge.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual

Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value will

make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image resolution.

Backlight Compensation:

l Off: Close the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.

l WDR

u As to the WDR scene, WDR will help the camera provide clear images when there are both very

bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view by lowering the brightness of the bright

area and increasing the brightness of the lowlight area. High, middle and low can be selected.

u There will be some recording lost for a few seconds during mode changing from non-WDR to

WDR mode.

l HLC: Lower the brightness of the whole image by suppressing the brightness of the image’s

highlight area and reducing the size of the halo area.

l BLC: The exposure will begin automatically according to the scene for the goal of seeing the

darkest area of the image.

HFR：High frame rate mode. You may enable or disable it as needed.

Antiflicker:

l Off: Close the anti-flicker function.

l 50Hz: Makes sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device is adjusting

the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the electric supply is 50Hz.

l 60Hz: Makes sure the horizontal stripes will not appear in the image while the device is adjusting

the exposure automatically according to the brightness of the scene when the electric supply is 60Hz.

White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.

Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz (50Hz= PAL(Europe) 60Hz= NTSC (North America)).

Day/night Mode: Please choose the mode as needed.

Auto= will change to Black & White in low light

Day= Camera will be in color all the time

Night= Camera will be in Black & White all the time

Schedule= set a particular time the camera switches to Night mode or Day mode

Sensitivity: High, middle and low can be selected.

Infrared Mode: You may choose “ON”, “OFF” and “Auto” as required.

Exposure Mode: You may choose “Auto” or “Manual” as required.

Corridor Pattern: You can change the direction of the video image by using this function. 0, 90, 180

and 270 are available. The default value is 0. The video resolution should be 1080P or under 1080P if

you use this function.

Image Mirror: Reverse the current video image right and left.

Image Flip: Turn the current video image upside down.

1.3.2 Video / Audio Configuration

Go to ImageàVideo / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, you can set the resolution,

frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual

Click “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.

Three video streams can be adjustable.

Resolution: The higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.

Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluid the video is. However, more storage room

will be taken up.

Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how the video changes, the

compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image quality better in a constant

bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording. VBR means that the compression bitrate

can be adjustable according to the change of the video resources. This will help to optimize the

network bandwidth.

Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.

Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image

quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.

I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is to high, the read speed of

the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.

Video Compression: H264 and H265 are optional. Higher quality of image can be transferred under

limited network bandwidth by using H265 video encoding; however, higher quality of the hardware is

required.

Profile: Baseline, main/high profiles are optional. Baseline profile is mainly used in interactive

application with low complexity and delay. Main/high profile is mainly used for higher coding

requirement.

Send Snapshot: Please select according to the actual situation.

Video encode slice split: If enabled, you may get a more fluid image even though using a

low-performance PC.

Watermark: If enabled, input the watermark content. You may check the watermark when playing

back the local recording in the search interface, unless the recording file has been tampered with.

Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.

Audio Type: MIC and LIN are selectable.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual

1.3.3 OSD Configuration

Go to ImageàOSD interface as shown below.

You can set the time stamp, device name and OSD content here. After enabling the corresponding display

and entering the content, drag them to change their position. Then click “Save” button to save the settings.

1.3.4 Video Mask

Go to ImageàVideo Mask interface as shown below. You can set 4 mask areas at most.

To set up video mask:

1. Enable video mask.

2. Click “Draw Area” button and then drag the mouse to draw the video mask area.

3. Click “Save” button to save the settings.

4. Return to live view to see the following picture.

Transcendent IP Cameras v4: Operation Manual
