1. Overview

This user’s guide explains how to operate this camera from a computer. A user should read
this manual completely and carefully before you operate the device.

1.1 Introduction

The AirLive MD-720 is a high-end megapixel network camera designed for professional
indoor surveillance and security applications. Megapixel (MP) IP cameras are now
available that offer a huge jump in image quality compared to the conventional surveillance
cameras. This new model complements an architecture and software that are based on
variations for professional indoor surveillance and security applications. The possibility of
viewing video from AirLive IP Cameras over the Internet is not the only one of benefits.
AirLive MD-720 is also designed to offer high-performance and is equipped with PoE port,
ensuring to power IP camera and providing network activity via one RJ45 network cable.
This advance provides an easier installation, the lower cable costs and allows placement of
AirLive POE cameras in locations with power limitation. The AirLive MD-720 is an ideal IP
camera for the applications such as hallways or stairwell.

Image Rotated: Select the screen display of “flip”, “mirror”, or “flip + mirror.

Video clip format: Select RECORDING compression format of H.264、MPEG-4、

and MJPEG.

z Profile1 (H.264): H.264 provides higher compression rate than MPEG-4. Thus,

H.264 can decrease the bandwidth usage and further apply on 3G. However,
H.264 will occupy more system resources than MPEG-4. As long as the
operating system appears operating difficulties under H.264 format, please
change to select MPEG-4.

z Profile2 (MPEG-4): MPEG-4 has the advantage of sending a lower volume of date

per time unit across the network (bit-rate) compared to Motion JPEG and

therefore provides a relatively high image quality at a lower bit-rate (bandwidth
usage).

- Image Enhancement

z Brightness: The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100. A higher

value produces a brighter image.

z Saturation: Adjust the saturation in the range 0-100. The higher value gets more

colorful image.

z Contrast: Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in the range

0-100.

AirLive MD-720 User’s Manual 38

z Sharpness: Control the sharpness applied to the image in the range 0-100. A

sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light conditions. A
lower setting reduces image noise, but the image would be less sharp.

- White Balance

z Color Tone: There are 3 optional color tones (cool, real and warm). It depends on

individual preference to select.

z Auto White Balance: This is used to adjust for the different colors present in

different light sources, to make the colors in the image appear the same. The IP

z Automatic exposure: You can manually set the exposure value, which ranges

from 0-100(dark to bright). The default value is 25.

z Exposure time: Select a proper exposure time according to the light source of the

surroundings. The exposure times are selectable as the following durations:
1/120second, 1/60 second, 1/30 second, 1/12 second, 1/6 second, 1/3 second,
and 1second. Shorter exposure time brings less light.

z Gain: Accord to the surroundings in the low light and make the range among 1-64.

The higher value makes brighter image; however it brings more noise at the
same time.

z Low light behavior: This is the operation aiming at low light and night mode.

According to the surroundings you can manually set the preferable settings
different from the regular “Exposure Settings”. Nevertheless, the low light
behavior can be scheduled up by working day, weekend, and night mode as
user’s preference.

z Backlight Compensation: It makes the object display clearly when the image

background is too bright or the object is too dark.

- Wide Dynamic Range

Enable Wide Dynamic Range auto in different level to improve the exposure when
both bright and dark areas simultaneously in the field of view of the camera. The level
goes from 1-8, the larger number brings stronger influence. Note the default is off.
