Overlay Image Settings

18AXIS 231D+/232D+ - Configuring the Network Dome Camera

An overlay image is an image included in the video image. This might, for example, be your own company logo. Follow these instructions to upload and use an overlay image:

1.Go to Setup > Video & Image > Overlay Image.

2.To upload the file to the AXIS 231D+/232D+, click the Browse button and locate it on your computer or server.

3.Click the Upload button and follow the on-screen instructions.

4.The image is now available in the Use overlay image drop-down list.

5.Click Save.

6.Go to Setup > Video & Image and modify the parameters under Overlay Settings.

	divisible by 4.	When also using a text overlay, this occupies
		16 pixels in height and as many in width as
		the video image.
		• If the overlay is initially positioned so that

		relocated so that it appears over the video
		image, i.e. the entire image is always dis-
		played.
		• The maximum overlay image size supported by
		the AXIS 231D+/232D+ is the same as the
		maximum image resolution. See Technical
		Specifications, on page 46.

Advanced Camera Settings

To optimize the lighting settings according to your requirements, modify the following settings under Lighting Conditions:

•White balance - the white balancing system in the AXIS 231D+/232D+ can automatically detect white in the image and intelligently use this as a reference for other colors.

•Exposure control - this setting is used to adapt to the amount/type of light being used.

•IR cut filter (AXIS 232D+ only) - when the IR cut filter is set to OFF, the camera will be able to ‘see’ infrared light, for example at night, thus making the image clearer. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off.

Among their products, the Axis 232D+ and Axis 231D+ stand out for their robust features and advanced technologies, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

The Axis 232D+ is a high-speed dome camera that delivers exceptional video quality, thanks to its 1/4-inch progressive scan CCD sensor. It offers a resolution of 704x480 pixels and can capture incredibly detailed images at up to 30 frames per second. With its pan/tilt functionality, the 232D+ can cover a wide field of view, allowing for extensive monitoring areas while maintaining high precision and responsiveness.

In addition to its impressive image quality, the Axis 232D+ features advanced digital zoom capabilities, enabling users to zoom into specific areas without significant loss of detail. The camera is equipped with a powerful infrared capability, allowing it to capture images in low-light conditions effectively. This makes it an ideal choice for 24/7 surveillance in all lighting scenarios.

On the other hand, the Axis 231D+ offers similar high-quality video performance but introduces some distinctive features. It also utilizes a 1/4-inch progressive scan CCD sensor and supports a wide dynamic range (WDR) for improved image quality in challenging lighting conditions. The 231D+ is designed for easy installation and integration into existing systems, making it a versatile option for various surveillance needs.

Both models leverage Axis' digital PTZ technology, providing users with the flexibility to pan, tilt, and zoom remotely via an intuitive web interface. This user-friendly aspect simplifies monitoring and allows quicker responses to incidents when they arise.

Furthermore, both the Axis 232D+ and 231D+ support Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installation, especially in hard-to-reach locations.

In conclusion, the Axis 232D+ and 231D+ represent Axis Communications’ commitment to delivering high-quality, versatile surveillance solutions that meet the demands of modern security challenges. Their advanced imaging technologies, robust features, and user-friendly design make them noteworthy additions to any security setup. Whether it's for large outdoor areas or indoor environments requiring vigilant monitoring, these cameras provide the performance and reliability critical for comprehensive security.
