AXIS M11 SeriesThe device interfaceWDR: Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible.Local contrast: Use the slider to adjust the contrast of the image. A higher value makes the contrast higher between darkand light areas.Tone mapping: Use the slider to adjust the amount of tone mapping that is applied to the image. If the value is set to zero onlythe standard gamma correction is applied, while a higher value increases the visibility in the image.White balanceWhen the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look morenatural. If this is not sufficient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color flicker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, orwhen the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one typeof light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for theautomatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matchesthe light source you want to use as a reference.Light environment:• Automatic: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended settingwhich can be used in most situations.• Automatic – outdoors: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommendedsetting which can be used in most outdoor situations.• Custom – indoors: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting andgood for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.• Custom – outdoors: Fixed color adjustment for sunny weather conditions with a color temperature around 5500 K.• Fixed – fluorescent 1: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 4000 K.• Fixed – fluorescent 2: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 3000 K.• Fixed – indoors: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting andgood for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.• Fixed – outdoors 1: Fixed color adjustment for sunny weather conditions with a color temperature around 5500 K.• Fixed – outdoors 2: Fixed color adjustment for cloudy weather condition with a color temperature around 6500 K.• Street light – mercury : Fixed color adjustment for ultraviolet emission in mercury vapor lights commonin street lighting.• Street light – sodium : Fixed color adjustment that compensates for the yellow orange color of sodium vaporlights common in street lighting.• Hold current: Keep the current settings and do not compensate for light changes.• Manual: Fix the white balance with the help of a white object.

The image is in black and white for increased light sensitivity.Threshold: Use the slider to adjust the light threshold where the camera changes from day mode to night mode.• Move the slider towards Bright to decrease the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night modeearlier.• Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later.IR light17
