  • Page 15 AXIS XPQ1785 Explosion-Protected Camera The device interface Important We recommend you not to use multiple image correction features at the same time, since it can lead to performance issues. Barrel distortion correction (BDC) : Turn on to get a straighter image if it suffers from barrel distortion. Barrel distortion is a lens effect that makes the image appear curved and bent outwards.
  • Page 16 AXIS XPQ1785 Explosion-Protected Camera The device interface Image Appearance Scene profile : Select a scene profile that suits your surveillance scenario. A scene profile optimizes image settings, including color level, brightness, sharpness, contrast, and local contrast, for a specific environment or purpose.
  • Page 17 AXIS XPQ1785 Explosion-Protected Camera The device interface : Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible. Local contrast : Use the slider to adjust the contrast of the image. A higher value makes the contrast higher between dark and light areas.
  • Page 18 • Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later. IR light If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis accessory.
  • Page 19 AXIS XPQ1785 Explosion-Protected Camera The device interface • Flicker-free 60 Hz : The camera adjusts the aperture and gain automatically, and uses the shutter speed 1/60 s. • Flicker-reduced : This is the same as flicker-free, but the camera might use shutter speeds faster than 1/100 s (50 Hz) and 1/120 s (60 Hz) for brighter scenes.
  • Page 20 Zipstream: A bitrate reduction technology, optimized for video surveillance, that reduces the average bitrate in an H.264 or H.265 stream in real time. Axis Zipstream applies a high bitrate in scenes where there are multiple regions of interest, for example in scenes with moving objects.
  • Page 21 AXIS XPQ1785 Explosion-Protected Camera The device interface Dynamic FPS (frames per second): Turn on to allow the bandwidth to vary based on the level of activity in the scene. More activity requires more bandwidth. Lower limit : Enter a value to adjust the frame rate between minimal fps and the stream default fps based on scene motion.

For more information, see AXIS OS Portal > SNMP. • v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 27 When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to. When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
  • Page 28 To install test firmware or other custom firmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed firmware certificate. The certificate verifies that the firmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The firmware can only run on a specific device which is identified by its unique serial number and chip ID.
