AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Setup

Video & Image settings

The following descriptions offer examples of the available features in the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E. For

details of each setting, please refer to the online help files .

To optimize the video images to your requirements, modify the following settings under Image Appearance:

• Resolution (including Aspect ratio correction and 4CIF de-interlacing)

•

Compression

•

White balance

•

Rotate image

•

Color setting

Notes: All configuration of images and overlays will affect the performance of the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E, depending on the usage and the available bandwidth. Please keep in mind the following when changing the image settings:

•Lower compression improves image quality, but generates larger files

•Color uses more bandwidth than Black & White

•Rotating the image will lower the maximum frame rate

•When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the compression setting will define the minimum compression level. The compression level will temporarily increase as and when required, i.e. when the bit rate approaches the maximum value as defined in the current profile@level combination.

•In certain conditions, the white balancing system will not operate effectively. See Video Image Problems, on page 40 for more information.

You may need to click the Stop and Play buttons on the Live View page before the settings take effect.

Overlay Settings

Use these settings to include an image as an overlay, and/or the date and time, along with text of your own.

See Overlay Image Settings below for instructions on how to upload an overlay image to the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E.

Text overlays are included on one line at the top or bottom of the video image. Use text overlays in combination with OSDI (On-Screen Directional Indicator) on page 31 to aid the viewer in navigating the camera.

Video Stream

The video stream time can be set as Unlimited, or a maximum stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours can be defined. When the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web browser. Note that the maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.

To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited. Select either Unlimited or define a maximum frame rate per viewer.
