Compression and Image Rate

On the Compression and Image Rate page, you can change the camera's
compression and image quality settings for sending video over the
network.
To enable easy access and lower bandwidth usage, the web interface
only displays video in JPEG format and cannot be changed. The settings
on this page only affect the video transmitted to the network video
management software.
Avigilon cameras have dual stream capabilities, so even when the
camera's streaming format is set to H.264, the camera's web interface
can still display live video in JPEG format.
However, cameras that are connected to an Avigilon encoder do not
typically have multi-stream capabilities. So once you set the video
streaming format to H.264, live video from that camera is no longer
displayed in the web interface.
NOTE: You can only set the RTSP stream settings in the camera web
interface.
Description
You can adjust the video's color saturation by entering
a percentage number. 0 creates a black and white
image, while 100 creates intense color images.
You can adjust the video's sharpness by entering a
percentage number. 0 applies the least amount of
sharpening, while 100 applies the most sharpening to
make the edges of objects more visible.
You can adjust the video's brightness by entering a
percentage number. 0 creates a dark image, while
100 creates a light-filled image.
You can adjust the video's contrast by entering a
percentage number. 0 applies the least amount of
contrast, while 100 applies the most contrast.
You can control the white balance settings to adjust for
differences in light.
You can allow the camera to control the white balance
by selecting Automatic, or select Custom and
manually set the Red and Blue settings.
You can enable automatic color adjustments through
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). This allows the camera
to adjust the video image to accomodate scenes
where bright light and dark shadow are clearly visible.
