The camera time is synchronized with the time of the NTP se rver at the address acquired from the DHCP server or 
DHCPv6 server.
If the NTP server (address) can be acquired from both  the DHCP server (IPv4) and DHCPv6 server, the NTP server 
address acquired from the DHCP server (IPv4) will be used.
[Synchronize with computer time]
The date and time will be synchronized with that of the comp uter currently accessing the camera. After clicking [Apply], 
[Setting Method] will change to [Set manually].

General video settings, such as the size and quality of JPEG and H.264 video transmitted from the camera.
[Video] is common with [Video] found in  [Video and Audio] and [Video Record]. A setting configu red in any of the [Video] 
submenus will be reflected in the other [Video] submenus as well.
All Videos
Set the video size sets used by the camera.
All options in the [Video] submenu and the size sets that can  be selected in [Video Size] in all of the Setting Pages are 
determined by the video size set selected here.
This also determines the video sizes and screen sizes that can be selected by each Viewer.
[Video Size Set]
Categories and aspect ratios vary  according to each video size set.
[Basic] > [Video]
Setting Video Size and Quality
Important
 The following may occur if video size, video  quality and target bit rate are set higher, as this increases network load and data size per 
frame. – JPEG: The frame rate may drop
– H.264: Video may be temporarily disrupted
 In case of H.264 video, block noise may become noticeable if  a large video size and low target bit rate are set.
 The data size may increase depending on the type or movement of  the subject. If the frame rate remains low or other undesirable 
conditions continue for a prolonged period, lo wer the video size or quality setting.
 The included RM-Lite can only record JPEG video.

If there is still blur after selecting [On1], select [On2].
The angle of view will be narrower and video noisier when using the Image Stabilizer, compared to when it is not used.
[Smart Shade Control Strength (Auto)]
Select the control strength when [Smart Shade Control] (P. 116) is set to [Auto].
 [Mild]: Select if noise is noticeable.
 [Medium]: Recommended  setting for Auto mode (default setting).
 [Strong]: Select to increase visibility in dark areas.
[Haze Compensation  Strength (Auto)]
Select the strength of comp ensation when [Haze Compensation] (P. 117) is set to [Auto].
Note
When [Haze Compensation] is set to [Auto] and [Haze Compensation Strength (Auto)] is  set to [Strong], contrast may be strong if the 
subject is not obscured by haze. If this happens,  set [Haze Compensation Strength (Auto)] to [Mild].
[Infrared Light Strength (Auto)]
Select the infrared illumination strength when you have selected [Auto], [Auto  (Flickerless)], [Auto (Shutter-priority AE)] or 
[Auto (Aperture-priority AE)] for [Exposure] (P. 115).
Note
 If all or part of the image appears to have a white glow, there is a possibility that a wall (even a wall not in the image) is  reflecting the 
infrared lighting. If this occurs, please adjust the camera angle.
 When using the infrared lighting, and there is a problem in getting the desired contrast on the object (would like the image b righter or 
darker), please adjust the Exposure Compensation (
P. 115) and/or the Metering Mode (P. 116).
[Motion-Adaptive Noise Reduction]
When [Enable] is selected, noise reducti on is automatically adjusted according to movement. For scenes in which there is 
little movement, noise reduction is increased and data size decreases.
[Pan/Tilt Speed Control]
Select the pan/tilt control mode.
If [Control by zoom position] is selected, the pan/tilt sp eed will be slower in telephoto, and faster in wide-angle.
[Auto Flip]
Select this to enable or disable Auto Flip.
If you enable Auto Flip and tilt the camer a using the video display area in the Viewer  (P. 68), the video will flip when the tilt 
angle of the camera nears 100°. Because this operation is effect ively the same as panning 180°, at the same time that the 
video flips, the position of the p an/tilt slider knob moves to the pan/tilt position after flipping.
Important
 The image stabilizer is not effe ctive when the subject is shaking.
 Stabilization is not effective beyond a certain de gree of vibration or for momentary vibrations.
 If you select [On2], It is recommended to sel ect a video reception size less than [640 x 480].
 If you use stabilization, please refer to the inform ation listed in the following “Important” sections.
– The “Important” section in “Setting Privacy Mask” (P. 145)
– The “Important” section in “Setting View Restriction” (P. 128).
– The “Important” section in “Viewing Video with the Camera Viewer” (P. 62).
– The “Important” section in “Registering Presets” (P. 131).

The intended effect may not be achievable, depending on the size and movement speed of the subject.

Mode switches when the brightness continues  to exceed or fall below the brightness set in [Switching Brightness] within 
any of the settings for the  number of seconds selected.
Select [30] or [60] if bright ness changes frequently, such as  when a light source passes in front  of the camera. Select [5] or
