Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.

Image Appearance

Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives a

black and white image.

The image Brightness can be a djusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value prod uces a brighter image.

Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sha rper image might increase image noise especially in low light

conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.

White Balance

White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardle ss of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis

product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light

source from the drop-dow n list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast betw een light and dark areas in the image.

Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. The different WDR settings adjust for various amounts of contrast in the image. Use a

higher WDR number for a higher contrast. Disa ble WDR in low light conditions for optimal e xposure.

Exposure Settings

Conﬁgure the e xposure settings to suit the image q uality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth

considerations.

Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in most

situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality.

Maxexposuretime-Select the maximum exposure time f rom the drop-down list. Increasing the exposur e time will improve

image quality, but decrease the frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur. Checking Allow slow shutter decreases

the shutter speed in low light to improve image brig htness.

Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas in

the image to appear too dark.

Exposure zones - This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto

setting can be used. For particular requirement, select a predeﬁned area.

Max gain - Measured in decibels (dB), gain describes the a mount of ampliﬁ cation applied to a signal, in this case the visual

information in the ima ge. A hi g h le vel of ampliﬁcation may provide a better image in very low light situations. A high gain will also

increasetheamountofimagenoise.

Day/Night

The IR cut ﬁlter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image senso r. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, or

when using an IR lamp, set the IR cut ﬁlter to Off. This increases light sensitivity and al lows the product to “see” infrared light. The

image is shown in black and white when the IR cut ﬁlter is off.

If using automatic Exposure control,settheIRcutﬁlter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off accordingtothe

lighting conditions.
