Advanced - Camera
To optimize the lighting settings according to your requirements, modify the following settings:
Lighting Conditions:
•
White balance
- the white balancing system in the AXIS 213 PTZ can automatically detect white
in the image and intelligently use this as a reference for other colors.
•
Exposure control
- this setting is used to adapt to the amount/type of light being used. If set to
Manual
, select the desired
Shutter speed
from the drop-down list.
•
IR cut filter
- turn the IR filter on or off. To light up the IR lamp on the front of the AXIS 213 PTZ,
turn the IR cut filter
Off
and click
Save
. The
Set IR Lamp
buttons then appear.
•
Use backlight compensation
- this setting is used to make the subject appear clearer against a
bright background.
Image Settings
• Auto focus enabled (default setting)
• Noise reduction - sets the level of noise reduction in the image, that is, sharpens the image. Setting
the noise reduction to ‘high’ causes a drop in frame rate (fps).
For more information on all of the above settings, please see the online help.
Notes:
• If configured by the administrator under
Live View Config > Layout > IR Buttons,
the viewer is able to switch the IR lamp and IR filter on
and off directly from the Live View page.
• In certain situations, the white balancing system does not operate effectively. Problems may occur if the image contains no white color at
all, or if the dominant color is not white. In these circumstances, the white balance may incorrectly be based on another visible color in the
image, and colors may become distorted. A pale background picture with reddish or blue foreground objects is very symptomatic of this
condition. In such cases it is recommended that a fixed white balance setting is selected.
