the Easy Pro View software (provided on ID/Password card). Together with the
CAM ID, you can view the video of the EM6250 anywhere in the world via the
Internet.
Note : If the EM6250 has been restored to factory defaults the password will change to
“ipcam”
2. Internet speed – this is the Internet bandwidth of your network environment.
Higher value will generate higher video quality. But if your Internet connection
cannot provide more bandwidth than the specified value, the video quality could
degrade. So, please key in a value that is lower than your internet bandwidth.
3. Adjust resolution & frame rate automatically – you can let the system select the
suitable video resolution and frame rate automatically for you. The selection is
based on the “Internet speed” value. This is the recommended default setting.
4. Resolution – there are two choices : 320x240 and 640x480. If you decide to
choose the value manually, you can choose one of the two values. But, please be
noticed that if the Internet speed is slow (low value), high resolution(640x480) or
frame rate could cause very bad video quality.
5. Frame rate – the video frame display rate. Higher value means faster movement
and continuity in the video display.
6. Favor/Preference – choose between “Video motion”, “Image quality”, “better
quality” and “best quality”. When the real bandwidth is not enough for the selected
“Internet speed”, the system will need to degrade the video motion or image
67 | ENGLISH
quality. This selection will decide if the user want to maintain the “video motion” or
“image quality” when the internet speed is not good enough.
7. Brightness – the brightness of the video, lower value means darker display.
8. Sharpness – the sharpness of the video, higher value means sharper video.
9. Low light sensitivity – The low light sensitivity could be normal, high or very high.
When the low light sensitivity is high, the system could see better video clearance
under low light situation, but the moving object will not be very clear under this low
light environment. Under very dark environment, set to “very high” will get better
video clearance. The default value of this setting is “high”.

The Easy Pro View camera is designed to provide high quality video for viewing from
Easy Pro View software. In this settings menu you can modify the Main Stream
settings that are related to the Dropbox recording and video streaming.
91 | ENGLISH
1. Internet speed – this is the Internet upload bandwidth of your network
environment. Higher value will generate higher video quality and bandwidth. But if
your Internet upload connection cannot provide more bandwidth than the
specified value, the video quality could degrade and other devices using the same
internet connection can experience connection issues. Please make sure to use a
value that is lower than your internet upload bandwidth.
2. Adjust resolution & frame rate automatically – you can let the system select the
suitable video resolution and frame rate automatically for you. The selection is
based on the “Internet speed” value. This is the recommended default setting.
3. Resolution – there are five choices : 320x240, 480x360 640x400, 1024x768 and
1280x800. If you decide to choose the value manually, you can choose one of the
five values. Please be noticed that if the Internet speed is slow (low value), high
resolution(1280x800) or frame rate could cause bad video quality.
4. Frame rate – the video frame display rate. Higher value means faster movement
and continuity in the video display.
5. Favour/Preference – choose between “Video motion”, “Image quality”, “better
quality” and “best quality”. When the real bandwidth is not enough for the selected
“Internet speed”, the system will need to degrade the video motion or image
quality. This selection will decide if the user want to maintain the “video motion” or
“image quality” when the internet speed is not good enough.
6. Sharpness – the sharpness of the video, higher value means sharper video.
