Configuring sensor-specific custom camera settings

2026-07-09Last updated

To use different camera settings for each sensor that aren't available when using custom camera settings for all sensors on a multisensor camera, you can configure sensor-specific camera settings.

What you should know

Using sensor-specific custom camera settings disassociates the sensors from a recording profile.

Procedure

  1. From the Devices page in the Configuration task, select a multisensor camera.
  2. Click the Sensors tab in the side pane, and select a sensor.
  3. Click the Settings tab in the side pane.
    The sensor Settings tab on a multisensor camera is different from the camera Settings tab because it only displays and applies settings to the selected sensor.
  4. In the Video section, from the Recording profile list, select Custom settings.
    Note:
    Cameras configured using the Custom settings option aren’t displayed in the Recording profiles list because the custom settings only apply to the selected camera.
  5. Customize the camera sensor settings to suit your needs:
    1. Select a Recording location relevant to your device type:
      • D2C cameras: Select Camera edge recording or Cloud.
      • Cloudlink cameras: Select Cloud or Appliance.
      Note:
      The Camera edge recording location is available only for Axis direct-to-cloud cameras that support SD cards and have firmware version 11.11 or later.
    2. Select a Video retention period.
      Click Custom to specify a retention period. The maximum video retention period is 1,096 days (3 years).
    3. (Optional) Deactivate video thumbnails on the timeline.
  6. (Optional) If image rotation is supported for your camera, set an Image rotation.
  7. (Optional) Deactivate camera analytics events.
  8. (Optional) Deactivate camera metadata.
  9. Click Save.
  10. (Optional) Repeat this procedure for additional sensors as required.
