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 between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.

Local Contrast applies contrast to a specific area of the image. Use the slider to adjust the contrast, where a higher value produces an image with high contrast between the dark and light areas.

Image Correction

Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)

When monitoring an environment that is subject to vibrations such as a train station, or when the camera is mounted on a pole, images may appear unsteady. To automatically improve image stability, select Electronic image stabilization (EIS) from Video & Audio > Camera Settings.

Barrel Distortion Correction

Barrel distortion is a lens effect that causes an image to look curved. The extent of distortion depends on the zoom level.

To edit barrel distortion settings, click Edit from Video & Audio > Camera Settings > Image Correction. In the Barrel Distortion Correction window, adjust the slider to correct the distortion, using the grid for assistance.

Enable Defog

Enable this feature from Video & Audio > Camera Settings to counter the effects of foggy weather and get a clear image. Or click the Defog button in the product’s Live View page. This button can be configured to appear in the Live View page from Live View Config > Live View Layout. Use the Defog Effect slider to adjust the degree of countering as required.

Note

Too much brightness can negatively impact image quality when defog is active.

White Balance

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.

The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the default settings for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually set a reference window for white balance in the view area.
