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.

Video and Audio  
Image  
The default image settings can be congured under Video & Audio > Video Stream. Select the Image tab.  
The following settings are available:  
Resolution. Select the default resolution.  
Compression. The compression level affects the image quality, bandwidth and le size of saved images; the lower the  
compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements and larger le sizes.  
Rotate image. If required, the image can be rotated.  
Maximum frame rate. To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be limited.  
Overlay settings. See Overlay, on page 20.  
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 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 modier #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  
A stream prole is a set of pre-congured stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings.  
Stream proles can be used:  
When setting up recording using action rules, see Events, on page 35.  
When setting up a continuous recording, see Continuous Recording, on page 39.  
In the Live View page — select the stream prole from the Stream prole drop-down list.  
Four pre-programmed stream proles are available for quick set up. Each pre-programmed prole has a descriptive name, indicating  
its purpose. If required, the pre-programmed stream proles can be modied and new customized stream proles can be created.  
To create a new prole or modify an existing prole, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Stream Proles.  
To select a default stream prole for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Cong.

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.  
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.  
Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. The different WDR settings adjust for various amounts of contrast in the image. Use a  
higher WDR number for a higher contrast. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal exposure.  
Exposure Settings  
Congure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth  
considerations.  
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.  
Max exposure time - Select the maximum exposure time from the drop-down list. Increasing the exposure time will improve  
image quality, but decrease the frame rate. There may also be an increase in motion blur. Checking Allow slow shutter decreases  
the shutter speed in low light to improve image brightness.  
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.  
Max gain - Measured in decibels (dB), gain describes the amount of amplication applied to a signal, in this case the visual  
information in the image. A high level of amplication may provide a better image in very low light situations. A high gain will also  
increase the amount of image noise.  
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.

11. If required, the focus control can be disabled under PTZ > Advanced > Controls.  
Image freeze on PTZ - Select All movements to freeze the image while the camera is moving during a pan, tilt or zoom operation.  
Once the camera reaches its new position, the view from that position is shown. Presets freezes the image only when the camera  
moves between preset positions.  
Overlay  
Overlays are used to provide extra information, for example for forensic video analysis or during product installation and  
conguration. Overlays are superimposed over the video stream.  
An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, modiers can be used to display  
information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate. For information about available modiers, see File Naming &  
Date/Time Formats in the online help

Privacy Mask  
A privacy mask is an area of solid color that prohibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot be  
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API).  
The Privacy Mask List, Video & Audio > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently congured in the Axis product and  
indicates if they are enabled.  
Since the Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates dene its size and position, a privacy mask is dynamic in relation to the monitored area. This  
means that regardless of the angle and zoom of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To dene at what magnication the  
mask should be displayed, zoom to the desired level and click Set level.  
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse, choose a color for the mask, and give the mask a name.

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.  
For more information about these settings, please see the online help

the most movement will be followed. Autotracking continues until the moving object stops or disappears from the monitored area.  
Movement in areas blocked by privacy masks and in exclude areas does not trigger autotracking.  
It is strongly recommended to enable the PTZ Control Queue if autotracking and guard tour are enabled simultaneously. In the PTZ  
Control Queue, guard tour has lower priority than autotracking, so autotracking will not be abandoned to start a guard tour.  
Conguration  
Start/Stop Autotracking - Click Start to enable autotracking. To disable autotracking, click Stop.  
Settings - The Movement trigger sensitivity level can be set to Low, Medium or High. Medium is usually a good choice, depending on  
the size of the moving objects and the image contrast, a low or high sensitivity might be more suitable.  
Exclude Areas  
Exclude areas are areas where movement is to be ignored.  
Note  
Movement in an area blocked by a privacy mask is always ignored.  
1. Click Add area to create an exclude area  
2. Resize and move the area (the blue rectangle) to the desired position.  
3. Enter a descriptive name and click Save.

PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)  
When using a joystick (or emulating one with the mouse) the Enable proportional speed setting can be used to reduce the maximum  
pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the camera view moves at when the joystick is pushed all the way out in any direction. This is  
useful then the view is zoomed in on an object.  
See the online help  
for more information.  
Controls  
Panel Shortcut Command Buttons can be congured to provide direct access to commands issued via the VAPIX® Application  
Programming Interface. The buttons will be displayed in the PTZ control panel, which is available in the Live View page through  
the Ctrl panel button, see page 11.  
Deselect the options under Enable/Disable controls to disable the pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris controls.  
Note  
Disabling PTZ controls will not affect preset positions. For example, if the tilt control is disabled, the product can still move to  
preset positions that require a tilt movement.  
Control Queue  
The administrator can set up a queue for PTZ controllers from PTZ > Control Queue. Once set up, the PTZ Control Queue buttons  
appear in the Live View page offering one viewer exclusive control for a limited period of time. Other users will be placed in queue.  
A user who belongs to a group (see Users, on page 41) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and  
take control of the product. The order of priority is as follows:  
1. Administrator — An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is rst in queue. The administrator will be  
removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ control command.  
2. Event — The Axis product can be congured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see Events, on page 35).  
The event will immediately be placed rst in the queue except when an administrator is in control.  
3. Operator — Same as administrator but with lower priority  
4. Guard Tour — A guard tour (see page 29) has PTZ control for an indenite period of time. It may be overridden by an  
operator, event or administrator. The guard tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue.  
5. Viewer — Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed  
on to the next viewer in queue.  
Note  
• The administrator can enable and disable PTZ controls for selected users.  
• To identify different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.

System Options  
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.

System Options  
Link-Local IPv4 Address  
Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the Axis product an additional IP address which can be used to access  
the product from other hosts on the same segment on the local network. The product can have a Link-Local IP and a static  
or DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time.  
This function can be disabled under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.  
HTTP  
The HTTP port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to the  
default setting, which is 80, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.  
HTTPS  
The HTTPS port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to  
the default setting, which is 443, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.  
To enable HTTPS, go to System Options > Security > HTTPS. For more information, see page 41.  
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 sent 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.

Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)  
When connecting external equipment to the Axis product, a multi-connector cable (available from Axis) is required in order to  
maintain the product’s IP rating. The multi-connector cable can be purchased from your Axis reseller.  
Connect the multi-connector cable to the product’s multi-connector (see page 6 ). The cable provides the following connectors:  
Note  
See page 57 for technical specications.  
Power connector - 3-pin terminal block used for power input. See image below.  
Audio in (pink) - 3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).  
Audio out (green) - 3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker  
with a built-in amplier. A pair of headphones can also be attached. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.  
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 > Port & Devices > Port Status) 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 > Port & Devices > Port Status).

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.
