About video settings
About stream profiles
A stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream
profiles can be used:
•
When setting up recording using action rules. See About events on page 31.
•
When setting up continuous recording. See About continuous recording on page 37.
•
In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.
To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video > Stream Profiles.
To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.
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 dynamic
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The Contrast changes the relative difference in thermal radiation. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
About image correction
To change these settings go to Setup > Video > Camera Settings.
About Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
When monitoring an environment that is subject to vibrations such as a train station, or when the camera is mounted on a pole,
images may appear unsteady. To automatically improve image stability, select Electronic image stabilization (EIS) from Video &
Audio > Camera Settings.
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.
Exposure zones - This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto
setting can be used. For particular requirement, select Defined and then click Edit and select one of the predefined areas.
