MxEasy User Manual: Using MxEasy

• Recorded image: This option is important for all cameras for which a zoomed section

of the live image (PTZ) is shown instead of the full camera image. Only this section will

be recorded when this kind of live image is recorded. You can avoid this by activating

the Recorded Image button. This guarantees that a full camera image is always

recorded - regardless of the live image that is visible or its settings.

Note

Note that any subsequent search of the full camera image (PTZ functions) is only

possible with the Recorded Image (= full image recording) option.

• Record audio: If this button is activated, the sound from the camera microphone will

be included in the recording. If the button is deactivated, the video sequences will be

recorded without sound.

Note

These settings apply for all recordings. You cannot make separate settings for each

recording time range.

3.3.3 Adjusting Additional Image And Exposure Settings

You can adjust other settings for color saturation, brightness, backlight and sharpness . To

do this, click on the Image Settings button. More buttons open at the lower edge of the

program window, and they can be used to adjust the properties:

• Saturation: This function increases or decreases the saturation of an image. The

higher the value, the more color displayed in the image.

• Brightness: This setting allows you to adjust the image brightness. Make sure that

the exposure windows are being used eectively before you make any adjustments.

•

Backlight: This setting improves the display of a camera image that contain overexposed

or underexposed areas. A typical example of this is a room that is illuminated only

by daylight from the windows. Objects located around the edges are displayed too

dark and with too little contrast. Increasing the value will increase overall illumination

to properly display the dark areas in the image. This setting is particularly useful for

high-contrast (color) night images.

• Sharpness: This setting allows you to display sharper camera images. Make sure not

to set the sharpness too high since doing so may result in poorer image quality (for

example, for high-contrast and ﬁnely detailed images).
