AXIS P1343-E Network Camera
Video and Au dio
Day/Night
The IR cut filter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, o r
when using an IR lamp, set the IR cut filter to Off. This increases light s ensitivity and allows the product to “see” infrared light. The
image is shown in black and white when the IR cut filter is off.
If using automatic Exposure control,settheIRcutfilter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off accordingtothe
lighting conditions.
Iris configuration

see Replacing the lens, on page 9 .
Iris adjustment
Select Enable automatic iris adjustment to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available
if a fixed iris is used.
View Area
A vie w area is a cropped part of the full view . The view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video
stream and P TZ settings.
To enable a view area, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Area.
When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video strea m resolution is the same size as o r sma ller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the vie w area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.
To configure the view area:
1. Go to Video & Audio > View Area.
2. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.
3. A new view area covers the whole image. Usethemousetomoveandresizetheviewarea.

5. Click Save to save the settings.
To modify the view area, modify the settings as required. Click Save.
