AXIS M1004–W Network CameraSet Up the ProductCamera SettingsThe Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.Image AppearanceTo change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video > Camera Settings.Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation and the value 0 givesminimum color saturation.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 BalanceTo change this setting go to Setup > Video > Camera SettingsWhite 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 .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.When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view areasize. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.To enable, go to Video > Camera Settings and select Enable View Area.To configure the view area:1. Go to Video > View Area.2. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.3. Use the mouse to move and resize the view area.4. Select Enable PTZ to enable digital PTZ for the view area.5. Click Save to save the settings.21
