How to maximize details in an image
Important
If you maximize details in an image, the bitrate will probably increase and you might get a reduced frame rate.
• Make sure to select the capture mode that has the highest resolution.
• Set the compression as low as possible.
• Select MJPEG streaming.
• Turn off Zipstream functionality.
How to 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.
Image without WDR.
