Image Settings

Autofocus enabled - Automatic focusing is enabled by default. If the focus position is changed manually using the focus bar,
autofocus will be disabled even if enabled here. In this case, use the PTZ control panel to enable autofocus, see
9
. If required, the focus control can be disabled under PTZ > Advanced > Controls.
Noise reduction - Set to On to enable noise reduction. Noise reduction may increase the amount of motion blur.
Stabilizer - When monitoring environments that are subject to vibrations (e.g. traffic control), images may appear to be unsteady.
Select the frequency, High or Low, that gives the best improvement in image quality. Enabling the stabilizer will limit the digital
zoom. See the online help
Image freeze on PTZ - Select All movements to freeze the image while the camera is moving during a pan, tilt or zoom operation.
Once the camera reaches its new position, the view from that position is shown. Presets freezes the image only when the camera
moves between preset positions.

extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom
movements. To set up a dynamic mask, which will always mask the specified part of monitored area, see
