AXIS P5512 PTZ Dome Network CameraVideo and Audio• When setting up recording using action rules. See Events, on page 35.• When setting up continuous recording. See Continuous Recording, on page 39.• 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 & Audio > Stream Profiles.To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.Camera SettingsThe Video & Audio > 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.Local Contrast applies contrast to a specific area of the image. Use the slider to adjust the contrast, where a higher value producesan image with high contrast between the dark and light areas.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 .Exposure SettingsConfigure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidthconsiderations.Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in mostsituations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality.Max exposure time - Select the maximum exposure time from the drop-down list. Increasing the exposure time will improveimage quality, but decrease the frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur. Checking Allow slow shutter decreasesthe shutter speed in low light to improve image brightness.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.Max gain - Measured in decibels (dB), gain describes the amount of amplification applied to a signal, in this case the visualinformation in the image. A high level of amplification may provide a better image in very low light situations. A high gain will alsoincrease the amount of image noise.20
