Straighten a skew image
You can straighten a skew image by rotating and cropping it digitally. Due to the cropping, a part of the original image is lost. The
functionality is ideally used to straighten the image during installation.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Image correction.
2. Turn on Straighten image.
Hide parts of the image with privacy masks
You can create one or several privacy masks to hide parts of the image.
1. Go to Settings > Privacy mask.
2. Click New.
3. Adjust the size, color, and name of the privacy mask according to your needs.
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.
Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As the available light diminishes, you can set the camera to
automatically shift to night mode, in which the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white
images. Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and make sure that the IR cut filter is set to Auto.
The illustration shows before and after an image has been straightened.
