Please refer to the following sheet for detailed information.

Parameter	Function
Profile	You may select normal, day and night mode. Then you can set and view profile and to effect.
Contrast	It is to adjust monitor window contrast. The larger the number, the higher the contrast is. You can use this function when the whole video bright is OK but the contrast is not proper. Please note the video may become hazy if the value is too low. If this value is too high, the dark section may lack brightness while the bright section may over exposure.The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60. The default value is 50.
Saturation	It is to adjust monitor window saturation. The larger the number, the strong the color is. This value has no effect on the general brightness of the whole video.

4.1.10 UPnP

It allows you to establish the mapping relationship between the LAN and the public network.

Here you can also add, modify or remove UPnP item. For UPnP on different routers, you must disable UPnP function. See Figure 4-24.

In the Windows OS, From Start->Control Panel->Add or remove programs. Click the "Add/Remove Windows Components" and then select the "Network Services" from the Windows Components Wizard. Click the Details button and then check the "Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control client" and "UPnP User Interface". Please click OK to begin installation.

4.1.12 Multicast

The multicast interface is shown as in Figure 4-26.

Multicast is a transmission mode of data packet. When there is multiple-host to receive the same data packet, multiple-cast is the best option to reduce the broad width and the CPU load. The source host can just send out one data to transit. This function also depends on the relationship of the group member and group of the outer.

Note:

• Open preview, streaming media protocol, select multicast, and monitor via multicast format.
• Here you can set multicast address and port. You also need to go to Live interface to set the protocol as Multicast.

Figure 4-26

4.1.14 QoS

The QoS interface is shown as below. See Figure 4-28.

Qos (Quality of Service) is network security mechanism. It is a technology to fix the network delay and jam problem and etc. For the network service, the quality of service includes the transmission bandwidth, delay, the packet loss and etc. We can guarantee the transmission bandwidth, lower the delay, reduce the loss of the data packet and anti-dither to enhance the quality.

We can set the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) of the IP to distinguish the data packet so that the router or the hub can provide different services for various data packets. It can select the different queues according to the priority (64 different priority levels) of the packets and select the bandwidth of the each queue. Level 0 is the lowest, and level 63 is the highest. It can also discard at the different ratio when the broad bandwidth is jam.
