AXIS M3007–PV
Video
Set
Gain
to
•
Auto
to set the gain automatically. If required, use
Max gain
to limit the applied gain.
•
Fixed
to use a fixed gain.
When
Shutter
and
Gain
are both set to
Auto
, it is possible to set the
Priority
between low motion blur and low noise manually and to
use a different
Priority
in
Normal Light
and in
Low Light
.
Example
Consider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night. To be able to,
for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light priority slider toward low motion blur. At nighttime, motion
detection is more important than identification. Motion blur is acceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, move
the low light priority slider toward low noise.
Example
If storage space or bandwidth is limited, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noise and produce smaller image files.
View areas
View areas are only available if the product has been configured for multiple view modes (see
Select Camera Mode, on page 8
).
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. It is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video stream and PTZ
settings. See
PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom), on page 25
. To set up a view area go to
Video
>
View Areas
. Here you can define the name and
resolution for a view area, set up a Home position and lock to this position if desired.
To define the video stream settings for each view area click on the respective view area from
Setup
>
Video
>
Video Stream

See
page 15

You can select a view area that you have set up from the
Source
drop-down list in the
Live View
page. Use the
Pan
,
Tilt
,
Zoom
sliders, or click on the overview map at the bottom right to zero in on an area. The current position is indicated in the overview
map by a green circle.

configuration. Overlays are superimposed over the video stream.
An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, modifiers can be used to display
information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate. For information about available modifiers, see
