AXIS M3006–V Network CameraVideoWhen Shutter and Gain are both set to Auto, it is possible to set the Priority between low motion blur and low noise manually and touse a different Priority in Normal Light and in Low Light.ExampleConsider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night. To be able to,for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light priority slider toward low motion blur. At nighttime, motiondetection is more important than identification. Motion blur is acceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, movethe low light priority slider toward low noise.ExampleIf storage space or bandwidth is limited, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noise and produce smaller image files.View AreasA view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own videostream and PTZ settings.To enable view areas, go to Video > Camera Settings and select Enable View Areas.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.
