Overlay Image; Privacy Mask - Axis P5532 User Manual

IR cut filter - Set the IR cut filter to Off to allow the camera to "see" infrared light; it increases the light sensitivity, for
example at night. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off. Set to Auto to automatically switch
between On and Off according to the lighting conditions.
Max gain - Measured in decibels (dB). A high level of amplification may provide a better image in very low light situations. A
high gain will also increase the amount of image noise.
Image Settings
Autofocus enabled - Autofocus is enabled by default.
Noise reduction - (AXIS P5532 only) Set to On to enable noise reduction. Note that noise reduction may increase the amount
of motion blur.
Stabilizer - (AXIS P5532 only) When monitoring environments that are subject to vibrations (e.g. traffic control), images may
appear to be unsteady. Depending on the environment, select the frequency (High or Low) that gives the best improvement in
image quality.
Image freeze on PTZ - Select All movements to freeze the image while the camera is moving during a pan, tilt or zoom
operation. Once the camera reaches its new position, the image from that position is shown. Presets freezes the image
only when the camera moves between preset positions.

Overlay Image

An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video image. The overlay image can be used to provide extra
information, or to mask a part of the video image. See the online help for supported image formats and sizes.
To use your own image, e.g. a logo, it must first be upload to AXIS P5532/AXIS P5534. Click Browse and locate the image file
on the computer. Click Upload. When uploaded, the file can be selected in the Use overlay image drop-down list.
To place the overlay image in the live view image, select Include overlay image at coordinates under Video & Audio > Video
Stream > Image, see Overlay Settings, on page 14.
Once satisfied, click Save.
