Page 10: Image Quality
Image quality Capture modes Capture mode defines the maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. Depending on which capture mode you select, you may not be able to use WDR. Which capture mode to choose depends on the requirements of frame rate and resolution for the specific surveillance setup. For specifications about available capture modes, see the product’s datasheet at axis.com. - Page 11 AXIS Q17 Series Additional settings 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.
- Page 12 3. If you still have problems, go to Exposure and adjust the Exposure zone to cover the area of interest. Find out more about WDR and how to use it at axis.com/web-articles/wdr. Stabilize a shaky image with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) can be used in environments where the product is mounted in an exposed location and subject to vibrations, for example, wind or passing traffic.

AXIS Q17 Series Additional settings Guard tours A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions either in a predetermined or random order, and for configurable periods of time. Once started, a guard tour continues to run until stopped, even when there are no clients (web browsers) viewing the images. - Page 18 AXIS Q17 Series Additional settings Maximum bitrate (MBR) With maximum bitrate, you can set a target bitrate to handle bitrate limitations in your system. You may see a decline in image quality or frame rate when the instantaneous bitrate is kept below the specified target bitrate. You can choose to either prioritize image quality or frame rate.

- Page 20 AXIS Q17 Series Additional settings H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared to the Motion JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to the MPEG-4 standard. This means that less network bandwidth and storage space are required for a video file.
