AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera Additional settings Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As the available light diminishes, you can set the camera to automatically shift to night mode, in which the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white images. Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images. 1.
AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera Additional settings Maximize details in an image Important If you maximize details in an image, the bitrate will probably increase and you might get a reduced frame rate. • Set the compression as low as possible. • Select MJPEG streaming. • Turn off Zipstream functionality. Handle scenes with strong backlight Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest areas can be significant.
