Image Settings
The Image Settings panel is accessed by clicking the cog wheel icon in the top-right corner of the video feed on the Dashboard. It contains stream preview options and five color/image configuration tabs.
Stream Preview Options
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Preview | Selects the video source displayed in the dashboard preview. Options: Stream 1, Stream 2, Snapshot. |
P/T Limit Wizard
The P/T Limit Wizard button launches a guided wizard for setting pan and tilt limits on the camera.
Click and drag your mouse in the video preview to draw a box representing the desired pan/tilt limits. The camera will automatically move to each corner of the box to test and set the limits.
Running the wizard clears any existing P/T limits.
The Clear button removes current P/T limits without running the wizard.

Selecting an active overlay toggles it off.
