Compensate for barrel distortion
Barrel distortion is a phenomenon where straight lines appear increasingly bent closer to the edges of the frame. A wide field of view
often creates barrel distortion in an image. Barrel distortion correction compensates for this distortion.
Note
Barrel distortion correction affects the image resolution and field of view.
1. Go to Video > Installation > Image correction.
2. Turn on Barrel distortion correction (BDC).
Monitor long and narrow areas
Use corridor format to better utilize the full field of view in a long and narrow area, for example a staircase, hallway, road, or tunnel.
1. Depending on your device, turn the camera or the 3-axis lens in the camera 90° or 270°.
2. If the device doesn't have automatic rotation of the view, go to Video > Installation.
3. Rotate the view 90° or 270°.
Verify the pixel resolution
To verify that a defined part of the image contains enough pixels to, for example, recognize the face of a person, you can use the
pixel counter.
