AXIS P1343-E Network Camera  
Hardware overview  
I/O terminal connector - Use in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notications.  
In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin, the I/O terminal connector provides the interface to:  
Digital output — For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by  
the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The  
output will show as active (shown under System Options > Ports & Devices) if the alarm device is activated.  
Digital input — An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for  
example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and  
the input becomes active (shown under System Options > Ports & Devices).  
Note  
The I/O connector is connected to the housing (fan/heater) on delivery, and will trigger an input port event to indicate  
a fan or heater error when activated. See Events, on page 35 for information on how to set up an event.

certicate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt trafc between web browsers and servers. The  
HTTPS certicate ensures encrypted exchange of information.  
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the rst dialog.  
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:  
1. Click Create self-signed certicate.  
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certicate is created and the password can now be set securely. All  
trafc to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.  
3. Enter a password and then re-enter to conrm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been congured.

AXIS P1343-E Network Camera  
Media streams  
Media streams  
The Axis product provides several audio and video stream formats. Your requirements and the properties of your network will  
determine the type you use.  
The Live View page in the product provides access to H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, audio streams and to the list of available  
stream proles. Other applications and clients can access video and audio streams directly, without going via the Live View page.  
How to stream H.264  
The video compression standard H.264 makes good use of bandwidth, and can provide high quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.  
Deciding which combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of  
your network. The available options in AXIS Media Control are:  
Unicast RTP  
This unicast method (RTP over UDP) is used  
for live unicast video, especially when it is  
important to always have an up-to-date video  
stream, even if some images are dropped.  
Unicasting is used for video-on-demand  
transmission so that there is no video trafc  
on the network until a client connects and  
requests the stream.  
Note that there are a maximum of 20  
simultaneous unicast connections.  
RTP over RTSP  
This unicast method (RTP tunneled over RTSP)  
is useful as it is relatively simple to congure  
rewalls to allow RTSP trafc.  
RTP over RTSP over HTTP  
This unicast method can be used to traverse  
rewalls. Firewalls are commonly congured to  
allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to  
be tunneled.  
Multicast RTP  
This method (RTP over UDP) should be used for live multicast video. The video stream is always  
up-to-date, even if some images are dropped.  
Multicasting provides the most efcient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of  
clients viewing simultaneously. A multicast cannot however, pass a network router unless the  
router is congured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example.  
Note also that all multicast viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20  
simultaneous connections.  
AXIS Media Control negotiates with the Axis product to determine the transport protocol to use. The order of priority, listed in the  
AMC Control Panel, can be changed and the options disabled, to suit specic requirements.  
Note  
H.264 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed  
copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.  
MJPEG  
This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate sufcient  
to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.  
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every image  
contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the Axis product is to use the AXIS  
Media Control in Internet Explorer in Windows.  
AXIS Media Control (AMC)  
AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows is the recommended method of accessing live video from the Axis product.

Image  
You can modify the image resolution and compression, and rotate the image from the Image tab (Video & Audio > Video Stream).  
The image can also be mirrored from the Image tab.  
Setting the compression level affects the image quality and bandwidth; the lower the compression, the higher the image quality  
with higher bandwidth requirements.  
To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, you can limit the frame rate allowed to each viewer. The maximum frame rate can be  
set to Unlimited, or you can limit the frame rate to a value.  
An image or text can be superimposed over the image as overlay. See Overlay, on page 23.  
Save your settings before they can take effect.  
H.264  
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bit rates.  
An H.264 video stream consists of different types of frames such as I-frames, P-frames and B-frames. An I-frame is a complete image  
whereas P-frames and B-frames only contain the differences from previous/future frames.  
The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOV length may save considerably on  
bandwidth requirements in some cases, but may also have an adverse affect on image quality.  
The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image  
complexity, using up more bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower image activity. CBR allows you to set a  
xed Target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased  
image activity, but in this case cannot, frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is  
possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. Not setting a priority means that frame rate and image quality are equally  
affected. You must save your settings before they can take effect.  
The current bit rate can be set to appear as text overlay. To do this, select the Include text check box option under Overlay Settings  
and enter the code #b in the eld.  
MJPEG  
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the  
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting  
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame  
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,  
the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.  
Stream Proles  
There are four pre-programmed stream proles available for quick set up. The settings for these can be adjusted. New customized  
proles can also be created. Each prole has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose.  
The stream proles can be accessed from the Stream prole drop-down list in the Live View page.  
To add, copy, modify, and remove stream proles go to Video & Audio > Stream Proles.

For more information see the online help  
on this page.  
Camera Settings  
The Video & Audio > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.  
Image Appearance  
Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives a  
black and white image.  
The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.  
Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light  
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.  
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.  
White balance  
White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis  
product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light  
source from the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help  
.
Wide Dynamic Range  
Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in the image. In  
intense backlight conditions, enable WDR. Disable WDR In low light conditions for optimal exposure.  
Note  
This setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.  
Exposure Settings  
Congure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth  
considerations.  
Exposure value - Click in the bar to ne-tune the exposure.  
Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in most  
situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove  
icker which can be caused by uorescent and other light sources. The Hold current option locks the current exposure settings.  
Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas in  
the image to appear too dark.  
Exposure zones - This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto  
setting can be used. For particular requirement, select a predened area.  
Exposure priority - When Motion is prioritized and maximum Shutter time is set to a small value, motion blur in the image is  
minimized. This can be useful for recognition of moving objects such as people and vehicles. However, prioritizing motion may cause  
an increase in image noise, especially in low light situations. When Low noise is prioritized and Gain is set to a small value, image  
noise is minimized. The le size is reduced, which can be useful if storage space or bandwidth is limited. However, prioritizing low  
noise may result in a very dark image, especially in low light situations.

Day/Night  
The IR cut lter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, or  
when using an IR lamp, set the IR cut lter to Off. This increases light sensitivity and allows the product to “see” infrared light. The  
image is shown in black and white when the IR cut lter is off.  
If using automatic Exposure control, set the IR cut lter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off according to the  
lighting conditions.  
Iris conguration  
Iris conguration shows the current congured iris type. Do not change the iris conguration unless the lens has been changed,  
Iris adjustment  
Select Enable automatic iris adjustment to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available  
if a xed iris is used.  
View Area  
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. The view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video  
stream and PTZ settings.  
To enable a view area, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Area.  
When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area  
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,  
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.  
To congure the view area:  
1. Go to Video & Audio > View Area.  
2. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.  
3. A new view area covers the whole image. Use the mouse to move and resize the view area.

Audio Input  
An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the product’s Audio-in connector. Congure the audio input settings  
under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.  
Source - Select Microphone for an external microphone or Line for a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or  
a microphone with a built-in amplier.  
Microphone power - The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power  
should only be used with microphones that have no battery. This setting should not be enabled when using a dynamic or battery  
powered microphone. Microphone power will not harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. To use a  
professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter  
(audio transformer) in between.  
Input gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the audio input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the  
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representation of the audio signal level in dB  
relative to the full-scale input level.  
Green — the signal is at a good level.  
Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.  
Red — the signal is distorted.  
Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.  
AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec.  
If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec to use. An AAC license  
is included in the Axis product.  
G711  
G726  
Sample rate - The number of times per second the sound is sampled. A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but  
also requires a greater bandwidth.  
Bit rate - Set the required bit rate depending on the selected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit  
rate may have latency or delay, but will require less bandwidth.

Camera Tampering  
Camera Tampering can generate an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, sprayed or severely  
defocused. To send an alarm, for example an email, an action rule must be set up.  
To congure tampering:  
1. Go to Detectors > Camera Tampering.  
2. Set the Minimum duration, that is, the time that must elapse before an alarm is generated. This can help prevent false  
alarms for known conditions that affect the image.  
3. Select Alarm for dark images if an alarm should be generated if lights are dimmed or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed,  
covered, or rendered severely out of focus.  
4. Click Save.  
To congure the product to send an alarm when tampering occurs:  
1. Go to Events > Action Rules.  
2. Click Add to set up a new action rule.  
3. Enter a Name for the action rule.  
4. Under Condition, select Detectors from the Trigger list.  
5. Select Tampering from the list of detectors.  
6. Optionally, select a schedule and set additional conditions.  
7. Select the action. To send an email, select Send Notication and select a Recipient from the list of dened recipients.  
Note  
The While the rule is active option under Duration cannot be used with camera tampering, since camera tampering does not  
have a duration and once it has been triggered it will not automatically return to its untriggered state.  
For more information on actions rules, see Events, on page 35.  
Motion Detection  
Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the view. Up to 10 Include and Exclude  
windows can be congured:  
Include windows — target specic areas within the whole video image  
Exclude windows — dene areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows  
are automatically ignored)  
Once congured, motion detection windows appear in the list of Detectors in Action rule setup. See Setting Up an Action Rule, on

IEEE 802.1X  
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network  
devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).  
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a  
third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft  
Internet Authentication Service.  
In Axis' implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital  
certicates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certicates are provided by an  
Certication Authority (CA). You need:  
a CA certicate to validate the identity of the authentication server  
a CA-signed client certicate and a private key to authenticate the network device.  
To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:  
1. Obtain a CA certicate, a client certicate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).  
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certicate, the client certicate and the  
client private key.  
3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.  
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.

IPv4 Address Conguration  
By default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are  
congured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP  
addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notication, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server, which  
when allows you to access the Axis product by name (host name).  
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset  
the product to the factory default settings (see page 49) and then perform the installation again.  
To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.  
IPv6 Address Conguration  
If IPv6 (IP version 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the conguration in the network router.  
To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be congured in the network router.  
ARP/Ping  
The IP address can be set using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see the product’s Installation Guide.  
ARP/Ping is enabled by default. To disable, uncheck the box under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.  
The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. To reset the  
IP address, the product must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4  
A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding  
network trafc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased  
since most routers are pre-congured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).  
Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other  
(WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly congured, all HTTP trafc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router  
is forwarded to the product.  
NAT traversal is congured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.  
Note  
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnPTM  
.
• The router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband  
sharing device” or “Home rewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.  
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to congure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnPTM  
Note that UPnPTM must be enabled in the product (see System Options > Network > UPnP).  
.
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in  
the eld. If no router is specied, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is  
found, the default router is selected.  
Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually dene an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the eld. If no port is  
entered here, a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.  
Note  
• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does  
not support UPnP and you need to manually congure port forwarding in the NAT router.  
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.  
• When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this eld. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.  
FTP  
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new rmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled  
under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

System Options  
Note  
This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.  
RTSP  
The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be  
changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.  
Note  
H.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.  
SOCKS  
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be congured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other  
side of a rewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a rewall, and  
notications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be send to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).  
SOCKS is congured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help  
.
QoS (Quality of Service)  
QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a specied resource to selected trafc on a network. A QoS-aware network  
prioritizes network trafc and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.  
The QoS settings are congured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the  
Axis product can mark the following types of trafc: live video, live audio, event/alarm trafc and management trafc.  
Note  
Live audio DSCP will be equal to live video DSCP if H.264 over RTSP is used.  
SMTP (email)  
To send email messages from the Axis product via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This  
is done under System Options > Network > SMTP (email).  
Enter the host names or IP addresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the elds provided. A From  
email address is also required. If the mail server requires authentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter  
the necessary information.  
SNMP  
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is the  
group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.  
The Axis product can be congured to support SNMP on the System Options > Network > SNMP page.  
Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.  
SNMP v1/v2 provides the lowest level of security. The community name can be specied as a password for read or read/write  
access to all supported SNMP devices. The default password for the Read community is public and the default password for the  
Write community is write.  
Note  
If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.  
Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status  
changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the Trap community that  
should receive the message.

password.  
Note  
The initial password can only be set once. If the password is lost, the Axis product must be reset to factory default, see  
UPnPTM  
The Axis product includes support for UPnPTM. UPnPTM is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating  
systems and clients that support this protocol.  
UPnPTM can be disabled under System Options > Network > UPnPTM  
.
RTP/H.264  
The RTP port range and multicast settings are congured under System Options > Network > RTP.  
The RTP port range denes the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. For multicast streams,  
only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used.  
Select Always Multicast Video and/or Always Multicast Video to start multicast streaming without opening an RTSP session.  
Bonjour  
The Axis product includes support for Bonjour. Bonjour is enabled by default and the product is automatically detected by operating  
systems and clients that support this protocol.  
Bonjour can be disabled under System Options > Network > Bonjour.  
Storage  
SD card  
The SD/SDHC memory card (not included) is managed on the System Options > Storage page. Click SD card to open Storage  
Management.  
Mounting is done automatically when the card is inserted or when the product boots. SD cards are normally preformatted when  
purchased, but if needed, click Format to format the card.  
Format an SD card so that it can be written to one of two available options — VFAT and ext4. During the formatting any previous  
data stored on the disk will be lost. The recommended format is ext4, due to its resilience against data loss if the card is ejected  
or if there is abrupt power loss. A third-party ext4 driver or application is also needed to access the le system from Windows.  
Note that most SD cards are pre-formatted with vFAT when purchased. The Check Disk option is used to check for errors on the SD  
card and only works for the le system ext4. The Repair option repairs the SD card of errors in the le system ext4. For vFAT le  
system use a card reader or PC to perform card maintenance.  
Note  
To prevent corruption of recordings, the SD card should always be unmounted before removal.

Performance considerations  
When settings up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors  
affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the  
CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.  
The following factors are among the most important to consider:  
High image resolution and/or lower compression levels result in images containing more data. Bandwidth affected.  
Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients. Bandwidth affected.  
Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients. Effect on frame rate and bandwidth.  
Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.  
Heavy usage of event settings affect the product’s CPU load. Frame rate affected.  
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected.  
Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
