Overlay Image; Privacy Mask - Axis Q7401 User Manual

Camera Settings
This page provides access to the advanced image settings for the AXIS Q7401.
Image Appearance
Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Contrast - Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.
Rotate image - The image can be rotated to the correct orientation. Select the appropriate value from the drop-down
list.
Video Input
To eliminate a black border surrounding the image, change the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the image.
Note: Be careful to only use low values, no more than 1-3, as higher values may put the image out of sync.
To improve image quality from analog devices, select Adaptive Interpolation from the 4CIF de-interlacing drop down list for
best image quality or select Blending for improved image quality. If de-interlacing is not necessary select None.
Once satisfied, click Save. Click View to view the video stream with the current configuration.

Overlay Image

An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video image. An overlay can be used to e.g. provide extra
information, or to mask a part of the video image.
Selecting and Uploading Overlay Images
To use an overlay image in the AXIS Q7401 Video Encoder, it must be selected from the drop-down list of available images.
The overlay (e.g. a logo) is then displayed in the video image.
To use your own image, first upload it to the AXIS Q7401 Video Encoder by entering the name of the file in the field provided,
or by clicking the Browse button and locating it. Then click the Upload button.
Once your own image has been uploaded it will be available for selection from the drop-down list.
Image Overlay Placement
To place the overlay image at specific coordinates in the live view image, check Include overlay image at the coordinates and
enter the X and Y coordinates.
View Image Settings
To test the overlay and it's placement click Save and View. A popup window appears with the camera's live view image.
