Video and Audio
Privacy Mask
A privacy mask is a user-defined area that prevent users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks appear as blocks
of solid color and are applied on the video stream. Privacy masks cannot be bypassed using the VAPIX® application programming
interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List (
Video & Audio
>
Privacy Mask
) shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enabled.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.
For more information, see the online help
Important
Adding many privacy masks may affect the product’s performance.
Focus
You can focus the Axis product under
Video & Audio
>
Focus
. For most applications, the adjustments on the
Basic
tab are sufficient.
If required, additional adjustments can be made on the
Advanced
tab. Before focusing, always click
Open iris
to open the iris to its
maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus best conditions for correct focusing. Click
Enable iris
when finished focusing.
Basic
Follow the on-screen instructions on the
Basic
tab to adjust zoom and focus. The pixel counter is used to determine the number of
pixels in an area of the image, for example to ensure that the image size fulfills specific requirements. To position the pixel counter,
click on the text and drag the window to the desired position.
Note
• The back focus (step 2) should only be reset if the camera has been focused previously.
• Set focus as precisely as possible using the focus puller on the lens (step 3) before starting the automatic fine-tuning (step 4).
• If the camera is placed so that it is difficult to look at the image and move the pullers at the same time, you can use the
Focus Assistant to focus the camera; for instructions, see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
Advanced
The tools on this page can be used to find the optimal focus position. Always open the iris before focusing and enable it when finished
focusing. Focus is measured in the part of the image covered by the
Focus window
. Use the mouse to move and resize the window
and then click
Fine-tune focus automatically
. If needed, click in the
Focus position
bar or on the arrows at the ends of the bar, to
further adjust the focus. The buttons < and > move the focus position one step in either direction. The buttons << and >> move the
focus position multiple steps in either direction. Clicking on the bar sets focus to that position.
