AXIS P3224-VE Mk II Network Camera
Video
Low light priority
2. Use the slider to set the
Priority
between
Low motion blur
and
Low noise
. When prioritizing low motion blur (slider
all the way to the right) the camera automatically increases gain as brightness decreases. When the gain reaches the
set maximum gain for low light, the camera will decrease shutter speed until the set maximum shutter for low light is
reached. This is the default priority setting for low light.
3. Select the
Max gain
value from the drop-down list. This defines the upper limit for gain in the context of normal light.
4.
Max fast shutter
sets shutter speed limit in normal light conditions. Depending on the scenario, the shutter speed limit
may need to be defined. This is done through
System Options
>
Advanced
>
Plain Config
.
Iris adjustment
Select
Enable automatic iris adjustment
to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available
if a fixed iris is used.
Use the
Iris adjustment
slider to set the preferred F-value. The scale represents the amount the iris is open. If set to 0, the iris is
opened as much as possible. If set to 100, the iris is closed as much as possible. The actual F-value is shown below the slider. If
automatic iris adjustment is enabled, the iris will stay at this position as long as light conditions are favorable. If light conditions
change, the iris will adjust itself to the best iris settings. If automatic iris adjustment is disabled, the iris will lock on the set
position regardless of light conditions
Day/Night
The IR cut filter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, or when
using an external IR lamp, set the IR cut filter to
Off
. This increases light sensitivity and allows the product to “see” infrared light. The
image is shown in black and white when the IR cut filter is off.
If using automatic
Exposure control
, set the IR cut filter to
Auto
to automatically switch between
On
and
Off
according to the
lighting conditions.
The
Day/Night shift level
bar helps determine when the camera will shift from day mode to night mode. Normally, the camera
automatically changes mode from day to night when very dark (level 100 in the slider). By setting
Day/Night shift level
to a
lower value, the camera will change to night mode earlier.
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.
