AXIS M1004–W Network CameraSetting Up the Product• In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.For quick setup, use one of the predefined stream profiles. Each predefined profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose. Ifrequired, the predefined stream profiles can be modified and new customized stream profiles can be created.To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video > Stream Profiles.To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.Camera SettingsThe Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.Image AppearanceIncreasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives ablack 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 lightconditions. 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.White BalanceWhite balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axisproduct can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of lightsource from the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help .Wide Dynamic RangeWide dynamic range (Dynamic Contrast) can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and darkareas in the image. Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal exposure.NoteThis setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.Exposure SettingsConfigure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidthconsiderations.Exposure value - Click in the bar to fine-tune the exposure.Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas inthe image to appear too dark.Exposure priority - When Motion is prioritized, motion blur in the image is minimized. This can be useful for recognition of movingobjects such as people and vehicles. However, prioritizing motion may cause an increase in image noise, especially in low lightsituations. When Low noise is prioritized, image noise is minimized. The file size is reduced, which can be useful if storage space orbandwidth is limited. However, prioritizing low noise may result in a very dark image, especially in low light situations.View AreaA view area is a cropped part of the full view. The view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own videostream and PTZ settings.19
