AXIS P3807-PVE Network Camera
Setup
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and make sure that the IR cut filter is set to Auto.
2. To determine at what light level you want the camera to shift to night mode, move the Threshold slider toward Bright
or Dark.
Note
If you set the shift to occur when it's brighter, the image remains sharper as there will be less low-light noise. If you set
the shift to occur when it's darker, the image colors are maintained for longer, but there will be more image blur due
to low-light noise.
Reduce noise in low-light conditions
To reduce noise in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
• Set the exposure mode to automatic.
Note
A high max shutter value can result in motion blur.
• To slow down the shutter speed, set max shutter to the highest possible value.
• Reduce sharpness in the image.
• Set the max gain to a lower value.
Reduce motion blur in low-light conditions
To reduce motion blur in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
Note
Image noise will increase if you increase the gain.
• Increase shutter speed and gain. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and set Max shutter to a shorter time, and Max gain
to a higher value.
If you are still experiencing motion blur, you can try one of the following:
• Increase the light level in the scene.
• Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Handle scenes with strong backlight
Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest
areas can be significant. The result is often an image where either the dark or the bright areas are visible. Wide dynamic range
(WDR) makes both dark and bright areas of the image visible.
1. Go to Settings > Image.
2. If required, turn on WDR under Wide dynamic range.
3. Use the Local contrast slider to adjust the amount of WDR.
