Increasing the
Color level
increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation and the value 0 gives
minimum color saturation.
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.
White Balance
To change this setting go to
Setup > Video > Camera Settings
White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless 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-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help
.
The
white balance window
is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the
White balance
drop-down
list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select
Automatic
to use the
default settings for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select
Custom
to manually
set a reference window for white balance in the view area.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range (
WDR - Forensic Capture
) provides balanced images in scenes when there is a considerable contrast between
light and dark areas in the image. The camera automatically handles the transition between such scenes and low-light conditions. In
rare light conditions disabling WDR might give a better image.
Important
Use WDR in combination with automatic exposure control. Other exposure settings could give undesirable results.
Exposure Settings
Exposure value -
Use the
Exposure value
slider to adjust the overall brightness of the image.
Exposure control -
Exposure is the amount of light the camera’s sensor captures for a scene. Too much light results in a washed out
photo and too little light results in a dark scene. Select a suitable option to control exposure.
The
Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz
option removes flicker that is caused by fluorescent and other light sources. The
Hold current
option
locks the current exposure settings.
Max exposure time -
Shutter speed, also called ‘exposure time’ stands for the length of time the camera shutter is open, thereby
exposing the camera sensor to light. If shutter speed is fast it can freeze action effectively. If shutter speed is slow, it can cause
moving objects to appear blurred. Decreasing the exposure time will reduce motion blur.
Exposure zones -
This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the
Auto
setting can be used.
You can select a predefined area by defining Include and Exclude windows within the image. Exclude windows exclude areas that are
too bright or dark, and Include windows include areas in the scene that have better lighting which will contribute to the exposure data.
There must be at least one Include window. There can be a total of ten Include and Exclude windows to tailor the exposure zone.
