Camera Settings
The Video & Audio > 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 be tween 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 lig ht 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 he lp
.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in the image. In
intense backlight conditions, enable WDR. Disable WDR In low lig ht cond itions for optimal exposure.
Note
This setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to s uit t he image qual
ity requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Click in the b ar to fine-tune the exposure.
Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in most
situations. The shutter speed is a utomatically set to prod uce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove
flicker which can be caused by
fluorescent a nd other light sources. The Hold current option locks the current expo sure settings.
Enable Backlight compe
nsation - Enable this op tion if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other a reas 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 r equirement, select a predefined area.
Exposure priority - When Motion is prioritized and maximum Shutter time is set to a small value, m otion blur in the image is
minimiz
ed. This can be useful for recognitio n of moving objects such as people and vehicles. However, prioritizing motion m ay cause
an increase in image noise, e specially 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 reduced, which can be useful if storage space or bandwidth is limited. However, prioritizing low
noi
se may result in a very dark image, especially in low light situations.
