To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config .

Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.

Image Appearance

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 dynamic conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.

The Contrast changes the relative difference in thermal radiation. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.

Exposure Settings

Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to temperature variations in the scene.

Automatic gain control - This setting is used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal, the stronger the gain. Select the Linear or Equalization automatic gain control method. The latter uses a histogram equalization method, which adjusts the gain dynamically by distributing the most frequent intensity values.

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 requirement, select Defined and then click Edit and select one of the predefined areas.

Gain - This setting controls the maximum gain. Lowering the gain reduces the contrast in the thermal image.

Overlay

Overlays are used to provide extra information, for example for forensic video analysis or during product installation and configuration. Overlays are superimposed over the video stream.

An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, modifiers can be used to display information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate. For information about available modifiers, see File Naming &

Date/Time Formats in the online help .

It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see Use Overlay Text in an Action Rule.

To enable overlays:

1.Go to Video > Video Stream and select the Image tab.

2.To include an overlay image, select Include overlay image at the coordinates. The overlay image must first be uploaded to the Axis product, see Overlay Image.

3.To include date and time, select Include date and Include time.

4.To include a text string, select Include text and enter the text in the field. Modifiers can be used, see File Naming &

Date/Time Formats in the online help .

5.Define text overlay characteristics in the relevant fields.

6.Click Save.

To modify the date and time format, go to System Options > Date & Time. See Date & Time on page 38.

Q1932E specifications

Axis Communications, a leading provider of network video solutions, offers a range of advanced surveillance cameras designed to meet the needs of various security applications. Among their innovative products is the Axis Q1932E, a robust thermal network camera that excels in challenging environments where visibility is compromised.

The Q1932E is particularly valued for its ability to detect and monitor objects and people in complete darkness, smoke, fog, or adverse weather conditions. This capability stems from its thermal imaging technology, which detects heat emitted by objects rather than relying on visible light. As a result, users can achieve reliable surveillance across different lighting conditions, making it ideal for critical applications like perimeter security, transportation, and infrastructure monitoring.

One of the main features of the Axis Q1932E is its resolution. The camera offers a thermal resolution of 384x288 pixels, allowing for detailed thermal imaging. This resolution is crucial for identifying potential threats even from a distance. The built-in digital Pan-Tilt-Zoom (dPTZ) capability allows users to zoom in on specific areas of interest, enhancing monitoring efficiency without losing sight of the broader scene.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Q1932E. It is designed with a weatherproof casing, complying with the IP66 standard, ensuring it can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures. This rugged design makes it suitable for outdoor installations in various environments.

The camera also features Axis' advanced video analytics capabilities, enabling motion detection and edge analytics. These functionalities allow users to receive real-time alerts and notifications when unusual activity is detected, enhancing response times to potential security threats. The integration of Axis’ Zipstream technology further optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, reducing costs while maintaining high-quality video streams.

Installation is made convenient with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which allows both data and power to be delivered through a single cable, simplifying the setup process. Additionally, the camera supports various mounting options, providing flexibility to adapt to different surveillance needs.

In summary, the Axis Q1932E thermal network camera is a powerful tool for security professionals seeking to enhance their surveillance capabilities. With its superior thermal imaging, durability, advanced analytics, and ease of installation, it is an excellent choice for ensuring safety and security in any environment, regardless of the lighting conditions.
