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.

Note that if the AXIS 232D+ is set to Auto, it will automatically switch between
