Brightness: You can adjust the video's brightness by entering a percentage number.
l
0 creates a dark image, while 100 creates a light-filled image.
Contrast: You can adjust the video's contrast by entering a percentage number.
l
0 applies the least amount of contrast, while 100 applies the most contrast between
objects in the image.
3. Use the White Balance drop-down list to select how the white balance settings are controlled:
Automatic: The camera will automatically control the white balance.
l
Custom: Manually set the Red and Blue levels.
l
Dominant Color Compensation (if available): This option enables an alternate auto white balance
algorithm which should be used when a large area in the field of view contains one color. For example,
a camera that is overlooking a grass field. For this example, the Dominant Color Compensation white
balance mode will improve the white balance to a more neutral color.
4. Move the Temporal Filter Strength slider slightly to the left or right to adjust the amount of noise vs.
blur in the scene. A temporal filter reduces image noise by averaging the noise over several frames.
Tip: Start by making small adjustments only because applying excessive changes may
degrade the overall image quality.
If the image looks noisy, move the slider to the right to reduce the amount of noise in the scene and
decrease the bandwidth used.
If the image looks blurry, move the slider to the left to reduce the amount of blur in the scene and
increase the bandwidth used.
By default, the slider is set to the middle, or 50.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Compression and Image Rate
On the Compression and Image Rate page, you can change the camera's compression and image quality
settings for sending video over the network.
Note: If a camera with video analytics or unusual motion detection is physically moved or adjusted,
or if the focus or zoom level is changed, reset the learning progress to provide accurate results. If the
camera's image rate and compression or display settings are updated, the learning progress may
reset automatically.
To enable easy access and lower bandwidth usage, the web interface only displays video in JPEG format.
The settings on this page only affect the video transmitted to the network video management software.
Avigilon High Definition H.264 IP cameras have dual stream capabilities. If the camera's streaming format is
set to H.264, the camera's web interface can still display live video in JPEG format.
