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 five choices : 320x240, 480x360 640x400, 1024x768 and
1280x800 (1280x800 is only available for PC software). If you decide to choose

that if the Internet speed is slow (low value), high resolution(1280x800) 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
68 | ENGLISH
“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.
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”.
10. Video color – choose between “colored” and “black & white”.
11. Video flip – can do “normal” or “flip” video display, this is needed if the EM6250HD
is installed on the ceiling or wall.
12. Outdoor/Indoor video – for better video display quality, modify this setting when
taking indoor or outdoor video. The default setting is “Outdoor video”, in most
cases, this is also ok for indoor usage. Under some special cases, there could be
some lines on the video display when the EM6250HD is taking indoor video. In
this situation, change the setting to “Indoor video” will solve the problem. Please
also be noticed that in “Indoor video” setting, the video display of outdoor view is
very vague. For indoor usage, if there is strong sun light into the room, please
select the “indoor+sun light” choice. (Some light sources interfere the video quality
to change the frequency of the recordings you need to select indoor video or

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.
