Additional settings
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.
Improve facial recognition
To better recognize the face of a person passing by the camera, you can set the optimal pixel resolution with the camera's pixel
counter.
1. Go to Settings > System > Orientation and click
2. In the camera's live view, adjust the size and placement of the rectangle around the area of interest, for example, where
the faces of passing persons are expected to appear. You can then see the number of pixels represented by the sides of
the rectangle.
Note
You can use an object of a known size in the view as a reference to decide how much resolution is needed for recognition.
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.
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.
