Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
Image Appearance
The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
Video input
• Enter a descriptive name for your video source in the Video source name field.
• The values in the Offset Adjustments fields affect the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the image. This can
be used to eliminate any black border surrounding the image. High values, both negative and positive can put the
image out of sync.
• De-interlacing - is used to improve video stream image quality from analog devices. Select any of the following options
from the De-interlacing drop-down list. Select None if de-interlacing is not necessary; Blending for improved image
quality that is not as processor intensive; Adaptive Interpolation performs de-interlacing of the video stream by applying
different filters on the image. This may give a better result than Motion Adaptive Interpolation in rare cases; Motion
Adaptive Interpolation performs de-interlacing of the video stream by applying different filters depending on the motion
in different parts of the image. This will in most cases result in the best image quality.
• Antialiasing will minimize distortion known as aliasing, which happens when a high-resolution image is represented at
a lower resolution.
• For each video input 75 Ohm video termination can be enabled/disabled via the product's web page at Video > Video
Input > Video termination. These terminations are enabled on factory default. In cases where the product is to be
connected in parallel with other equipment, for optimum video quality, it is recommended that termination be enabled for
only the last device in the video signal chain.
Image Settings
Noise reduction - Set to On to enable noise reduction. Noise reduction may increase the amount of motion blur.

Overlay

Overlays are used to provide extra information, for example for forensic video analysis or during product installation and
configuration. Overlays are superimposed over the video stream.
An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, modifiers can be used to display
information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate. For information about available modifiers, see File Naming &
Date/Time Formats in the online help
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see Using Overlay Text in an Action Rule.
To enable overlays:
1. Go to Video > Video Stream and select the Image tab.
2. To include an overlay image, select Include overlay image at the coordinates. The overlay image must first be uploaded to
the Axis product, see Overlay Image.
3. To include date and time, select Include date and Include time.
