Camera Settings
This page provides access to the image settings for the network camera.
Image Appearance
Color level -
Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness -
The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Sharpness -
Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image. A sharper image might increase image noise, especially
in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the image would be less sharp.
White balance
White balance is used to compensate for the different colors present in different light sources, to make the colors in the image
appear the same. The network camera can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color.
Alternatively, the type of light source can be manually selected from the drop-down list. Please see the online help
files
for a description of each available setting.
Wide dynamic range -
Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is considerable contrast between light and
dark areas in the image.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwith
considerations.
Exposure control -
This setting is used to adapt to the amount or type of light used.
Automatic
is the default setting and
can be used in most situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality.
Max exposure time -
Select the maximum exposure time from the drop-down list. Increasing the exposure time will
improve image quality, but may decrease the frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur. Checking
Allow slow
shutter
decreases the shutter speed in low light to improve image brightness.
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 to dark.
Exposure zones -
This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the
Auto
settings can be used.
IR cut filter -
Set the filter to
Off
to allow the camera to “see” infrared light; it increases the light sensitivity, for example at
night. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off. Set to
Auto
to automatically switch between
On
and
