Camera Settings
The
Video > Camera Settings
page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
Image Appearance
Increasing the
Color level
increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives a
black and white image.
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
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
.
Exposure Settings
Con
fi
gure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value -
Click in the bar to
fi
ne-tune the exposure.
Enable Backlight compensation -
Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas in
the image to appear too dark.
Exposure zones -
This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the
Auto
setting can be used. For particular requirement, select a prede
fi
ned area.
Exposure priority -
When
Motion
is prioritized, motion blur in the image is minimized. This can be useful for recognition of moving
objects such as people and vehicles. However, prioritizing motion may cause an increase in image noise, especially in low light
situations. When
Low noise
is prioritized, image noise is minimized. The
fi
le size is reduced, which can be useful if storage space or
bandwidth is limited. However, prioritizing low noise may result in a very dark image, especially in low light situations.
View Area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. The 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 a view area, go to
Video > Camera Settings
and select
