Built-in IR Illuminations LEDs
WARNING
Risk of eye injury. Do not look directly into the IR LED at short distance. Since the light provided from the IR LED is outside of
the visible range, it is not possible to see if it is active. Use the camera to check if the IR illumination is active.
The IR illumination can be activated or de-activated, and its intensity can be increased or decreased by moving the slider, from
the product’s
Live View
page.
Other settings can be defined from
Setup
>
Video
>
Camera Settings

De-select the
Enable IR illumination
option to disable IR illumination altogether. If you disable the
Synchronize IR illumination with
day/night
option, IR illumination will not be synchronized with day/night changes.

The
IR Illumination
window displays the approximate area the IR light will illuminate given the current settings. When
Angle of
illumination
is set to
Auto
, the IR illumination is automatically adjusted according to the camera’s zoom. When this ‘Auto’ behavior
is disabled, it is possible to manually adjust the angle of the IR light by moving the
Angle of illumination slider
.
View Area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in
Live View
and has its own video
stream and PTZ settings.
When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.
To enable, go to
Video > Camera Settings

About overlay text
An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, so-called modifiers can be used to
display information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate.
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see
How to include overlay text in an action rule on page 22
