AXIS M3006–V Network Camera
Video
White Balance
White balance is used to make colors in the image a ppe ar the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis
product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light
source f rom the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help
.
The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down
list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the
default settings for the Autom atic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually
set a re ference window for w h ite balance in the view area.
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range (Dynamic Contrast) c an improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark
areas in the image. Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal e xp osure .
Note
This setting is only pos sib le when using autom atic exposure control.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure s ettings to suit the image q uality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Click in the bar to fine-tune the exposure.
Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in m ost
situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove
flicker which can be caused by fluorescent and other l ight sources. The H old current option l ocks the current exposure settings.
Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this op tion if a bright spot of light, for example a ligh
t bulb, causes other areas in
the image to appear too dark.
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 a predefined area.
Shutter & Gain
The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of mot
ion blur a nd nois e in the image. To adapt to different lighting, av aila ble
storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prior itize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allow s
using differe nt prioritization in normal light and in l ow light.
Shutter speed is related to the amount of time the shutter is opened and is measured in seconds (s). A slow shutter speed allows
more light to reach the sensor and can help
produce a brighter image in low light situations. On the other hand, a slow shutter
speedcancausemovingobjects to appear blurry.
Set Shutter to
• Auto to set the shutter speed automatically. If required, use Max shutter to limit the shutter speed to prevent the frame
rate from being reduced. For example, to get 30 fps, set Max shutter to 1/30.
• Fixed to use a fixed shutter speed.
Gain, m easured in decibel (dB), is the amount of amplification applie d to the image. A high gain may provide a better image in low
light si
tuations but will increase the amount of image nois e.
Set
Gain to
• Auto to set the gain automatically. If required, use Max gain to limit the applied gain.
• Fixed to use a fixed gain.
