      IC Realtime - Web Service - Changing Camera Resolution in Camera OSD

      Learn how to adjust the resolution of your cameras using the PTZ controls in the recorder's web service. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to navigate the Camera OSD, select the desired resolution, and save your changes

      If you wish to record a 5MP HDCVI camera at 1080p, it’s important to adjust the resolution directly through the camera's OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. Changing the resolution in the recorder's encode settings page only affects how the recorder processes and stores the video but does not alter the camera's actual output resolution. For the desired recording resolution to take effect, you must set it on the camera itself via the OSD menu.

      • Access Live View
        Navigate to the Live View section in the recorder's web service interface.

      • Select the Camera

        • On the left-hand side of the screen, locate the camera you wish to adjust and left click to bring up the image.
        • Left-click on the camera window to highlight it.

      • Open the PTZ Menu

        • In the controls panel on the right-hand side of the Live View screen, select PTZ Menu.

        • Press Open to display the Camera OSD (On-Screen Display).


      • Adjust the Resolution

        • Use the Up and Down directional buttons to navigate to the Resolution option.
        • Use the Left and Right directional buttons to select your desired resolution (e.g., 1080p CVI).


      • Confirm the Resolution Change

        • After selecting the resolution, press OK on the PTZ controls.
        • A confirmation dialog will appear with options to Confirm or Cancel.
