About camera settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
About capture modes
Capture mode is set the first time the product is accessed. Select the desired capture mode and click OK.
Important
Changing capture mode when the product has been configured is not recommended as most other settings will be either
removed or reset.
To change capture mode, follow these steps:
1. Go to Setup > Video > Camera Settings.
2. Select the new capture mode.
3. Click Save.
About image appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video > 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.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
About 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
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
Exposure is the amount of light the camera's sensor captures for a scene. Too much light results in a washed out image and too
little light results in a dark image.
Configure 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 fine-tune the exposure.
Exposure control - Select a suitable option to control exposure.
For most scenes, the Automatic option will provide the best results. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum
image quality.
Fluorescent lamps or other light sources can sometimes cause flickering in the image. To reduce flicker in the image, select the Flicker
option that matches the power line frequency.
The Hold current option locks the current exposure settings.
