About ONVIF media profiles

An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that can be used to change media stream settings. ONVIF media profiles
can be used by a client to configure media stream properties.
The ONVIF Media Profiles page lists all preconfigured profiles. These profiles are included in the product for quick setup. You can
add, modify or remove ONVIF media profiles from this page.

About camera settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
About image appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video > Camera Settings.
The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
About exposure settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to temperature variations in the scene.
Automatic gain control - This setting is used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal,
the stronger the gain. Select the Linear or Equalization automatic gain control method. The latter uses a histogram equalization
method, which adjusts the gain dynamically by distributing the most frequent intensity values.
Gain - Gain is the amount of amplification applied to an image signal. More gain means more contrast and more details but also
more noise. The max gain value is set for all scenes, but affects primarily low contrast scenes controlling the amount of allowed noise
in the image, which in turn also limits the contrast.

About overlays

Overlays are superimposed over the video stream. They are used to provide extra information during recordings, such as a timestamp,
or during product installation and configuration.
About overlay text
An overlay text can include the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, so-called modifiers can be used to
display, for example, the current bit rate or the current frame rate.
You can choose between the following text overlay sizes:
Size
Small
Medium
Large
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see How to include overlay text in an action rule.
