Accessing the Product  
Access from the Internet  
Once connected, the Axis product is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the product from the Internet you must  
configure your network router to allow incoming data traffic to the product. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which  
will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the product. This is enabled from Setup > System Options >  
Network > TCP/IP Advanced.  
For more information, please see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 47. See also AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at  
Set the Root Password  
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Configure  
Root Password dialog, which appears when the product is accessed for the first time.  
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS  
certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The  
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information. See HTTPS, on page 47.  
The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for root is lost, the product must be  
reset to the factory default settings. See Reset to Factory Default Settings, on page 52.  
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog.  
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:  
1. Click Create self-signed certificate.  
2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can now be set securely. All  
traffic to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.  
3. Enter a password and then re-enter to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.  
Set Power Line Frequency  
Power line frequency is set the first time the Axis product is accessed and can only be changed from Plain Config (see page 52)  
or by resetting the product to factory default.  
Select the power line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) used at the location of the Axis product. Selecting the wrong frequency may cause  
image flicker if the product is used in fluorescent light environments.

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 profiles. 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 traffic  
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 configure  
firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.  
RTP over RTSP over HTTP  
This unicast method can be used to traverse  
firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured 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 efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of  
clients viewing simultaneously. A multicast cannot however, pass a network router unless the  
router is configured 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 specific 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 sufficient  
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.

Compression. The compression level affects the image quality, bandwidth and file size of saved images; the lower the  
compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements and larger file sizes.  
Rotate image. If required, the image can be rotated.  
Mirror. If required, the image can be mirrored.  
Maximum frame rate. To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be Limited to a fixed  
amount. Alternatively, the frame rate can be set as Unlimited, which means the Axis product always delivers the highest  
frame rate possible under the current conditions.  
Overlay settings. See Overlay, on page 22.  
Click Save to apply the new settings.  
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 and P-frames. An I-frame is a complete image whereas  
P-frames only contain the differences from previous 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 Axis product supports two H.264 profiles. The Main profile provides higher compression than the Baseline profile with the same  
video quality, but requires more processing power to decode.  
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  
fixed 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 modifier #b in the field.  
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 Profiles  
A stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream  
profiles can be used:  
When setting up recording using action rules. See Events, on page 36.  
When setting up continuous recording. See Continuous Recording, on page 40.  
In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.  
For quick setup, use one of the predefined stream profiles. Each predefined profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose. If  
required, the predefined stream profiles can be modified and new customized stream profiles can be created.  
To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Stream Profiles.  
To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.

Video and Audio  
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  
.
The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down  
list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the  
default settings for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually  
set a reference window for white balance in the view area.  
Wide Dynamic Range  
Wide dynamic range (Dynamic Contrast) can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark  
areas in the image. Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal exposure.  
Note  
This setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.  
Exposure Settings  
Configure 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 fine-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  
flicker which can be caused by fluorescent 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 predefined area.  
Shutter & Gain  
The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of motion blur and noise in the image. To adapt to different lighting, available  
storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prioritize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allows  
using different prioritization in normal light and in low light.  
Shutter speed is related to the amount of time the shutter is opened and is measured in seconds (s). A slow shutter speed allows  
more light to reach the sensor and can help produce a brighter image in low light situations. On the other hand, a slow shutter  
speed can cause moving objects to appear blurry.

Video and Audio  
Set Shutter to  
Auto to set the shutter speed automatically. If required, use Max shutter to limit the shutter speed to prevent the frame  
rate from being reduced. For example, to get 30 fps, set Max shutter to 1/30.  
Fixed to use a fixed shutter speed.  
Gain, measured in decibel (dB), is the amount of amplification applied to the image. A high gain may provide a better image in low  
light situations but will increase the amount of image noise.  
Set Gain to  
Auto to set the gain automatically. If required, use Max gain to limit the applied gain.  
Fixed to use a fixed gain.  
When Shutter and Gain are both set to Auto, it is possible to set the Priority between low motion blur and low noise manually and to  
use a different Priority in Normal Light and in Low Light.  
Example  
Consider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night. To be able to,  
for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light priority slider toward low motion blur. At nighttime, motion  
detection is more important than identification. Motion blur is acceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, move  
the low light priority slider toward low noise.  
Example  
If storage space or bandwidth is limited, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noise and produce smaller image files.  
Iris adjustment  
Select Enable automatic iris adjustment to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available  
if a fixed iris is used.  
Use the Iris adjustment slider to set the preferred F-value. The scale represents the amount the iris is open. If set to 0, the iris  
is opened as much as possible. If set to 100, the iris is closed as much as possible. The actual F-value is shown below the  
slider. If automatic iris adjustment is enabled, the iris will stay at this position as long as light conditions are favorable. If light  
conditions change, the iris will adjust itself to the best iris settings. If automatic iris adjustment is disabled, the iris will lock on  
the set position regardless of light conditions  
Day/Night  
The IR cut filter 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 filter 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 filter is off.  
If using automatic Exposure control, set the IR cut filter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off according to the  
lighting conditions.  
The Day/Night shift level bar helps determine when the camera will shift from day mode to night mode. Normally, the camera  
automatically changes mode from day to night when very dark (level 100 in the slider). By setting Day/Night shift level to a  
lower value, the camera will change to night mode earlier.  
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.  
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.

Select Microphone to use an external microphone or Line to use a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones  
or a microphone with a built-in amplifier, as audio source.  
The Microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power should only be used with  
microphones that have no battery and when using the internal microphone. 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 48 V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced  
converter (audio transformer) in between.  
Use the Input gain to 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.  
Use the Encoding option to 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.

Video and Audio  
G711 is an unlicensed standard codec that is useful when integrating audio into a VoIP system  
G726 is an unlicensed speech codec that is most commonly used within the security industry.  
The Sample rate defines 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.  
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.  
For more information about these settings, please see the online help  
.
Audio Output  
An external speaker can be connected to the product’s Audio-out connector (a built-in amplifier is required for this). The output can  
be connected to another amplifier with speakers. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.

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 configure 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 configure 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 Notification and select a Recipient from the list of defined 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 36.  
Motion Detection  
Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera view.  
Motion detection is configured by defining up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:  
Include windows — define areas where motion should be detected  
Exclude windows — define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows  
are automatically ignored).  
For instructions, see Set Up Motion Detection Windows, on page 32.  
To control the number of motion detection alarms, the parameters Object Size, History and Sensitivity can be adjusted. See  
Motion Detection Parameters, on page 32.  
Once motion detection windows are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when motion is detected.  
Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see Setting Up an Action Rule, on page 37.

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  
certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an  
Certification Authority (CA). You need:  
a CA certificate to validate the identity of the authentication server  
a CA-signed client certificate 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 certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).  
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and the  
client private key.  
3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.

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 traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased  
since most routers are pre-configured 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 configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router  
is forwarded to the product.  
NAT traversal is configured 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 firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.  
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure 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 field. If no router is specified, 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 define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field. 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 configure 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 field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.  
FTP  
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled  
under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

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 configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other  
side of a firewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a firewall, and  
notifications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).  
SOCKS is configured 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 specified resource to selected traffic on a network. A QoS-aware network  
prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.  
The QoS settings are configured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the  
Axis product can mark the following types of traffic: live video, live audio, event/alarm traffic and management traffic.  
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 fields 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 configured 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 specified 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.

Troubleshooting  
1. In UNIX/Linux, type the following from the command line:  
arp -s <IP address> <serial number> temp  
ping -s 408 <IP address>  
In Windows, type the following from a command/DOS prompt (this may require that you run the command prompt as  
an administrator):  
arp -s <IP address> <serial number>  
ping -l 408 -t <IP address>  
2. If the product does not reply in 30 seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press CTRL+C to stop Ping.

5. Reinstall the product, referring to the Installation Guide.  
Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions  
Problems setting the IP address  
Try the installation again. The IP address must be set within two minutes after power has been  
applied to the product. Ensure the Ping length is set to 408. For instructions, see .  
When using ARP/Ping  
The product is located on a  
different subnet  
If the IP address intended for the product and the IP address of the computer used to access the  
product are located on different subnets, you will not be able to set the IP address. Contact your  
network administrator to obtain an IP address.  
The IP address is being used  
by another device  
Disconnect the Axis product from the network. Run the Ping command (in a Command/DOS  
window, type ping and the IP address of the product:  
• If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32; time=10...  
this means that the IP address may already be in use by another device on the network.  
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the product.  
• If you receive: Request timed out, this means that the IP address is available  
for use with the Axis product. Check all cabling and reinstall the product.  
Possible IP address conflict  
with another device on the  
same subnet.  
The static IP address in the Axis product is used before the DHCP server sets a dynamic address.  
This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may  
be problems accessing the product.  
The product cannot be accessed from a browser  
Cannot log in  
When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when attempting  
to log in. You may need to manually type http or https in the browser’s address field.  
If the password for the user root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings.

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.
