Image Header - Check the relevant box to include the camera name, date and/or time in
image headers.
Color Settings - Choose to view the camera images in black & white or in color. Black &
white generates smaller file sizes and the contrast is usually higher than when using color.
Image Resolution - Select Low, Normal or High resolution. High resolution will reduce the
frame rate, due to the larger file sizes involved. The exact resolutions are as follows;
• QCIF = 176 x 112 (NTSC), 176 x 144 (PAL) - Low resolution
• CIF = 352 x 240 (NTSC), 352 x 288 (PAL) - Normal resolution
• 4CIF = 704 x 480 (NTSC), 704 x 576 (PAL) - High resolution
Image Compression - Select the level of compression for your images. Lower compression
optimizes picture quality, but generates larger image file sizes.
Offset Adjustment - Enter values in these fields to change the horizontal and vertical
synchronization for the image. This can be used to eliminate any black border surrounding
the image.
Note: The settings for Color, Resolution and Compression will all affect the size of the
generated files. This will also affect the length of time the recordings are stored
for.
Input/Modulation for Camera
Automatically Detect and Store - Click the button to have the AXIS 2460 automatically detect
the modulation type for the connected camera.
Set Manually - Select the correct video modulation type from the drop-down list.
Pan Tilt Zoom
If you are using a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) unit to control the camera’s position, click the
Modify button to create and modify preset positions. See also the online help for more
information on how to set up Preset positions.
