White Balance Whit balance is a camera setting that adjusts for lighting in order to make white objects appear white

in photos.

Auto: Most cameras default to automatic white balance. It makes white objects bright white and alter all the other colors to match. Cloudy: You can use the Cloudy white balance setting instead of auto on a cloudy day. This allows the camera to compensate for blueness in the shadows, warming up the scene to better match what your eye would see. Daylight: You can use Daylight settings only when shooting in very bright sunlight, as it can produce bluish results on overcast days. Fluorescent: You can use Fluorescent setting to cancel out the green or blue cast, which can produce sickly-looking results on human skin. Tungsten: This setting assumes a color temperature of around 3,200k and is suitable for most tungsten lamps that normally emit a yellow light. This is usually used to correct for the same color cast.

A photograph’s exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it is been captured by your camera. Select the exposure level you prefer from 1 to 9 or auto.

Inter Protocol

TCP: TCP is connection oriented. Once a connection is established, data can be sent bidirectional.

UDP: UDP is a simpler, connectionless Internet protocol. Multiple messages are sent as packets in chunks using UDP.

TLS: TLS is a cryptographic protocols designed to provide communications security over a computer network. SIP payloads will be encrypted to prevent malicious or unwanted modifications. NAT-traversal can be achieved by TLS connections since SIP payloads will not be altered by NAT-enabled routers.

Change this value only if you use specific settings in your network system. By default, the SIP port is set to 5060.

SIP Transport Protocol Select the SIP Transport Protocol type from the drop-down list for using. There are two types of

Internet Protocol (IP) traffic. They are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). To ensure proper connection, verify if both calling parties are using the same transport protocol. By default, it is set to UDP.
