Lighting Conditions
To optimize the lighting settings according to your requirements, modify the following settings:
• Color setting - select
color or B/W.
• Brightness - this can be adjusted in the range 0-100.
• Sharpness - controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image.
• IR cut filter - turns the IR filter on or off. Alternatively, when set to Auto the filter will
automatically be switched off when the light level falls below the minimum requirement.
• Use backlight compensation - this setting is used to make the subject appear clearer against e.g. a
bright background.
Please see the online help for more
information on these settings.
Low Light Behavior
Exposure control -
this setting is used to adapt to the amount/type of light being used. If set to Manual,
select the desired Shutter speed from the drop-down list.
Image Settings
Auto focus enabled (defaul
t setting) - this causes the camera to automatically adjust the focus to produce a
sharp image. Setting the sensitivity to ‘high’ will cause a drop in the frame rate (fps).
MPEG-4
Tools for adjusting the MPEG-4 settings and for controlling the video bit rate.
The MPEG-4 standard provides many different coding tools for various applications in different situations.
As
most MPEG-4 clients do not support all of these tools, it is usual to instead define and use subsets for
different clients or groups of clients. These settings allow you to define the type of viewing client to use.
Adjusting the maximum bit rate and setting it to variable or constant is
a good way of controlling the
bandwidth used by the MPEG-4 video stream. For more information on these advanced settings, please see
Video and Audio Streams, on page 11, and the online help.
AXIS Media Control
The AXIS Media Control (AMC) is installed automatically the first time the camera is accessed from a
browser. The AMC control panel can be opened by right-clicking on the video image in the Live View web
page. The AMC control panel can be used to configure various video and audio settings, such as
push-to-talk. Please see the readme file included in the tool for more information.
