# Configure AI1 Camera Settings

Adjust exposure, focus, and lighting on an AI1 device in real time.

AI1 devices have a built-in USB camera whose settings you can adjust directly from Deployment Manager. Changes apply to the camera in real time, so you can tune exposure, focus, and lighting while watching the live stream preview.

{% hint style="info" %}
This page covers the AI1's built-in camera. For cameras on other devices, see [Configure Camera Settings](/deployment/self-hosted/enterprise/deployment-manager/making-changes/configure-camera-settings.md).
{% endhint %}

## Open Camera Settings

Open your AI1 device in Deployment Manager and click its "Camera" tab, which replaces the "Streams" tab on AI1 devices. The "Capture Settings" panel appears to the right of the live preview. Adjust its controls directly; changes save automatically.

## Live Apply Behavior

Camera setting changes are sent to the device automatically as you adjust them. A status indicator shows the current state:

* "Saving" while the setting is being written
* "Updating camera" while the change propagates (approximately 10 seconds)
* "Saved" after that propagation period

If saving fails, your edits are retained. Click "Retry" to send them again.

## Basic Controls

### Exposure

The "Exposure Range" slider sets the shortest and the longest exposure in milliseconds, up to 1000 ms. The camera picks a value inside that range. Set both ends to the same value to hold the exposure fixed. A long exposure lowers the frame rate and blurs objects that move fast.

### Brightness

"Brightness Target" sets the brightness the camera tries to reach using automatic exposure or gain. It appears when either is automatic.

### Focus

Click "Calibrate Focus" to run the camera's autofocus routine. For manual adjustment, choose "Fine", "Medium", or "Coarse" and click "Farther" or "Nearer". If the camera has not reported its lens position, run "Calibrate Focus" first.

### LED

Use "Camera LED" to adjust intensity from 0 to 100%. Set it to 0 to turn the light off.

## Recent Frames

To save camera frames to a project for training, use [Recent Frames](/deployment/self-hosted/enterprise/deployment-manager/monitoring/view-a-stream.md#recent-frames) below the preview.
