AXIS M5065 PTZ Network Camera
Video and Audio
About image appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under
Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings
.
Increasing the
Color level
increases the color saturation. The value 100 produces maximum color saturation and the value 0
results in 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.
About white balance
To change this setting go to
Setup > Video & Audio > 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
.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range
can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in the image.
Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal exposure.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure control -
This setting is used to adapt to the amount of light available.
Automatic
can be used in most situations. Shutter
speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality.
Max exposure time -
Available when
Exposure control
is set to
Automatic
. Select the maximum exposure time from the drop-down
list. Increasing the time improves image quality, but decreases frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur.
Exposure time -
Available when
Exposure control
is set to
Manual
. Select the exposure time from the drop-down list. Increasing the
time improves image quality, but decreases frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur.
Max gain -
Measured in decibels (dB), gain describes the amount of amplification applied to a signal, in this case visual information
in the image. A high level of amplification may provide a better image in very low light situations. A high gain will also increase
the amount of image noise.
Exposure zones -
This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate exposure. The default setting is
Center
.
Exposure priority -
When
Motion
is prioritized and maximum
Shutter
time is set to a small value, motion blur in the image is
minimized. This can be useful for recognizing 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 and
Gain
is set to a small value, image noise is minimized. The file size is also 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.
About image settings
Image freeze on PTZ -
Select
All movements
to freeze the image while the camera is moving during a pan, tilt or zoom operation.
Once the camera reaches its new position, the view from that position is shown.
Presets
freezes the image only when the camera
moves between preset positions.
