• When setting up recording using action rules. See Events on page 33.
• When setting up continuous recording. See Continuous Recording on page 39.
• In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.
For quick setup, use one of the predefined stream profiles. Each predefined profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose. If
required, the predefined stream profiles can be modified and new customized stream profiles can be created.
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.

Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
Image Appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video > Camera Settings.
Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation and the value 0 gives
minimum color saturation.
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 light
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
Local Contrast applies contrast to a specific area of the image. Use the slider to adjust the contrast, where a higher value produces
an image with high contrast between the dark and light areas.
Use the Noise reduction slider to adjust the noise reduction level. A higher value produces an image with little noise, but at the
expense of details in the image. Noise reduction may increase the amount of motion blur.
Video input
• 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.
75 Ohm video termination can be enabled/disabled via the product's web page at Video > Video Input > Video termination.
Video termination is enabled on factory default. If the product is connected in parallel with other equipment, for optimum video
quality, it is recommended that video termination is enabled only for the last device in the video signal chain.
