Overlay Image; Privacy Mask - Axis M1054 User Manual

White balance
This is used to compensate for the different colors present in different light sources, to make the colors in the image appear
the same. The AXIS M10 Series can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color.
Alternatively, the type of light source can be manually selected from the drop-down list. Please see the online help files
for a description of each available setting.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Adjust the slider in the bar to fine-tune the exposure.
Exposure control - This setting is used to remove 50/60 Hz flicker.
Enable Backlight compensation - When there is a bright spot of light in the image use this option to exclude that spot from
the exposure calculation.
Exposure zones - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. The Auto setting can be
used in most situations, but for particular requirements, select Defined and click the Edit button to open the Exposure
Windows dialog to custom define the exposure zone.
Exposure priority - This defines the balance between image quality and the frame rate. When Motion is prioritized, motion
blur is minimized, but the image quality may be reduced with a higher frame rate. A prioritized Low noise will provide better
image quality with a lower frame rate.

Overlay Image

An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video image. An overlay can be used to provide extra information, or
to mask a part of the video image.
To use an overlay image in the AXIS M10 Series Network Camera, it must be selected from the drop-down list of available
images. The overlay (a logo, for example) is then displayed in the video image.
To use your own image, first upload it to the network camera. To upload enter the name of the file in the field provided, or
click the Browse button, locate and click the Upload button.

Privacy mask

Privacy masks are up to three configurable areas of solid color that allow concealment of parts of the image that are not to be

enabled.
