AXIS P1445-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit
The device interface
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more
natural. If this is not sufficient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color flicker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type
of light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the
automatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matches
the light source you want to use as a reference.
Light environment
:
•
Automatic
: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended setting
which can be used in most situations.
•
Automatic – outdoors
: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended
setting which can be used in most outdoor situations.
•
Custom – indoors
: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting and
good for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.
•
Custom – outdoors
: Fixed color adjustment for sunny weather conditions with a color temperature around 5500 K.
•
Fixed – fluorescent 1
: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 4000 K.
•
Fixed – fluorescent 2
: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 3000 K.
•
Fixed – indoors
: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting and
good for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.
•
Fixed – outdoors 1
: Fixed color adjustment for sunny weather conditions with a color temperature around 5500 K.
•
Fixed – outdoors 2
: Fixed color adjustment for cloudy weather condition with a color temperature around 6500 K.
•
Street light – mercury
: Fixed color adjustment for ultraviolet emission in mercury vapor lights common
in street lighting.
•
Street light – sodium
: Fixed color adjustment that compensates for the yellow orange color of sodium vapor
lights common in street lighting.
•
Hold current
: Keep the current settings and do not compensate for light changes.
•
Manual
: Fix the white balance with the help of a white object. Drag the circle to an object that you want the
camera to interpret as white in the live view image. Use the
Red balance
and
Blue balance
sliders to adjust the
white balance manually.
Day-night mode
IR-cut filter
:
•
Auto
: Select to automatically turn on and off the IR-cut filter. When the camera is in day mode, the IR-cut filter
is turned on and blocks incoming infrared light, and when in night mode, the IR-cut filter is turned off and the
camera’s light sensitivity increases.
•
On
: Select to turn on the IR-cut filter. The image is in color, but with reduced light sensitivity.
•
Off
: Select to turn off the IR-cut filter. The image is in black and white for increased light sensitivity.
Threshold
: Use the slider to adjust the light threshold where the camera changes from day mode to night mode.
• Move the slider towards
Bright
to decrease the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode
earlier.
• Move the slider towards
Dark
to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later.
IR light
If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis
accessory.
Allow illumination
: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode.
Synchronize illumination
: Turn on to automatically synchronize the illumination with the surrounding light. The synchronization
between day and night only works if the IR-cut filter is set to
Auto
or
Off
.
Automatic illumination angle
: Turn on to use the automatic illumination angle.
