AXIS Q7404 - Video & Audio settings
Camera Settings
This page provides access to the advanced image settings for the AXIS Q7404.
Image Appearance
Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Contrast - Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.
Rotate image - The image can be rotated to the correct orientation. Select the appropriate value from the drop-down
list.
Video Input
Offset adjustments - If the image is surrounded by a black border, change these settings to remove the border. Be careful
to only use low values, no more than 1-3, as higher values may put the image out of sync.
4CIF de-interlacing - The video signal from an analog camera can cause motion blur problems in the image due to
interlacing. Applying a de-interlacing filter improves image quality. Select Adaptive Interpolation for best image
quality or select Blending for improved image quality.
Once satisfied, click Save.
Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video image. See the online help for supported image sizes and
formats.

image file on the computer. Click Upload. When uploaded, the file can be selected in the Use overlay image drop-down list.
To place the overlay image at specific coordinates in the live view image, check Include overlay image at the coordinates and
enter the X and Y coordinates.
Once satisfied, click Save. Click View to view the overlay image in the video stream.
