Frequently Asked Question

Video filters and image adjustments help prepare the source for reliable viewing and recording. Use them when the source needs correction before it is sent to the VMS/NVR.

Common adjustments

• Image corrections for readability.
• Scaling or crop-related adjustments.
• Preparation of screen, webcam or external source for a fixed layout.
• Combining image settings with OSD or rotation.

Performance note

• Each processing step can increase CPU/GPU load.
• For high-resolution and multi-camera deployments, test the final profile under real conditions.
• Avoid unnecessary filters when the source is already clean.

Validation

• Always verify the final output in the recorder, because a VMS/NVR may scale or transcode the stream after receiving it.
