About ONVIF media profiles
An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that can be used to change media stream settings. ONVIF media profiles
can be used by a client to configure media stream properties.
The
ONVIF Media Profiles
page lists all preconfigured profiles. These profiles are included in the product for quick setup. You can
add, modify or remove ONVIF media profiles from this page.

The image
Brightness
can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Increasing the
Sharpness
can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The
Contrast
changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
About exposure settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to temperature variations in the scene.
Automatic gain control -
This setting is used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal,
the stronger the gain. Select the
Linear
or
Equalization
automatic gain control method. The latter uses a histogram equalization
method, which adjusts the gain dynamically by distributing the most frequent intensity values.
Gain -
Gain is the amount of amplification applied to an image signal. More gain means more contrast and more details but also
more noise. The max gain value is set for all scenes, but affects primarily low contrast scenes controlling the amount of allowed noise
in the image, which in turn also limits the contrast.
About overlays
Overlays are superimposed over the video stream. They are used to provide extra information during recordings, such as a timestamp,
or during product installation and configuration.
About overlay text
An overlay text can include the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, so-called modifiers can be used to
display, for example, the current bit rate or the current frame rate.
You can choose between the following text overlay sizes:
Size
Text height
Background height
Small
10 pixels
20 pixels
Medium
16 pixels
28 pixels
Large
21 pixels
36 pixels
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see
How to include overlay text in an action rule
