For each camera, there are more settings available to configure and fine-tune the system. In addition, EnGenius Cloud collects and aggregates lots of data reported by Camera periodically. Sophisticated graphs and tables are available on the camera detail page to ease the monitoring and tracking of a camera. To get all the details, on the cameras page, hover your mouse cursor on the row of cameras you are interested in. A Details button is shown, and clicks on it to get into the camera detail page.
The first TAB page summarizes the camera's current settings and states. All details of configurations and statistics are shown on this page.
People and Vehicle Counting help you to gain valuable insights into the number of people or vehicles that appear in a particular location.
This data can then be used to gain a better understanding of the traffic flow and density of persons or vehicles in the area, allowing for informed decision-making and better security planning
The will display whether the camera was recording video or not over a period of time. Green bars indicate the camera was recording on that period of time , The gray bar means the camera is not recording on that period of time
Place your cursor over each bar to see date, time, and recording status.

Brightness: Adjust the brightness level of the camera feed using the slider. The range is from 0% (minimum brightness) to 100% (maximum brightness). Increase the percentage to brighten the image, useful for low-light environments.
Contrast: Modify the contrast level to enhance differences between light and dark areas in the image. Use the slider to set a value between 0% (lowest contrast) and 100% (highest contrast).
Select the operating mode for the camera based on lighting conditions:
Auto: Automatically switches between day and night mode based on ambient light levels.
Always Day: Keeps the camera in day mode regardless of lighting conditions, ideal for well-lit environments.
Always Night: forces the camera into night mode, useful for consistently dark areas or nighttime surveillance.
Adjust the orientation of the camera image:
Normal: Standard orientation, suitable for most setups.
Upside Down: Flips the image vertically and mirror it too. Use this setting when the camera is mounted upside down.
Iris refers to the adjustable aperture of the camera lens that regulates the amount of light entering the camera sensor. Proper adjustment of the Iris ensures optimal image quality in varying lighting conditions.
Iris settings are critical to avoid issues like flickering, rolling effects, or over/underexposed images, depending on the environment where the camera is installed.
Fixed Mode: The Iris is set to its maximum opening, allowing the maximum amount of light to enter the sensor. Suitable for low-light environments where capturing as much light as possible is essential.
Indoor: Prioritizes eliminating flickering and rolling effects caused by indoor artificial lighting.
Outdoor: Auto-setting Iris to get best quality, but easy to meet rolling or flicker effect in indoor environment.
High dynamic range are camera techniques for capturing the same image at different exposures and then merging those images together to form a single image. This is particularly useful where the image consists of very light and very dark areas (e.g., an indoor camera that faces a window to outside).
Privacy Mask allows you to block sensitive areas from a camera’s feed. After you apply a privacy window to an area of the camera feed, subsequent video in the specified area is covered by dark.
