Straighten the horizon

distortion, you can use Horizon straightening to get an image that is perceived as straight and in line with the horizon.
1. Go to Video > Installation and click Change.
2. Set Capture mode to a dewarped view.
3. Set Mounting position to Wall mounted.
4. Click Save and restart.
5. Go to Video > Stream and set the view to Panorama.
6. Click Horizon straightening and use the Horizon line slider to adjust the horizon.

Select exposure mode
To improve image quality for specific surveillance scenes, use exposure modes. Exposure modes lets you control aperture, shutter
speed, and gain. Go to Video > Image > Exposure and select between the following exposure modes:
•
For most use cases, select Automatic exposure.
•
For environments with certain artificial lighting, for example fluorescent lighting, select Flicker-free.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
•
To lock the current exposure settings, select Hold current.
Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions by using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. But as the visible light diminishes, color images become less
bright and clear. If you switch to night mode when this happens, the camera uses both visible and near-infrared light to deliver bright
and detailed black-and-white images instead. You can set the camera to switch to night mode automatically.
1. Go to Video > Image > Day-night mode, and make sure that the IR-cut filter is set to Auto.
2. To use the built-in IR light when the camera is in night mode, turn on Allow illumination and Synchronize illumination.
Optimize IR illumination
Depending on the installation environment and the conditions around the camera, for example external light sources in the scene,
you can sometimes improve the image quality if you manually adjust the intensity of the LEDs. If you have problems with reflections
from the LEDs, you can try to reduce the intensity.
