AXIS P1264 Network Camera
Video
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,
the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.

Increasing the
Color level
increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation and the value 0 gives
minimum color saturation.
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.
Local Contrast
applies contrast to a specific area of the image. Use the slider to adjust the contrast, where a higher value produces
an image with high contrast between the dark and light areas and is suitable for scenes with wide dynamic range.
White Balance
To change this setting go to
Setup > Video > 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
