AXIS 225FD - Video Streams 11

Video Streams

The AXIS 225FD provides several different image and video formats. The type to use depends on your requirements and on the properties of your network.

The Live View page in the AXIS 225FD provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.

Video Stream Types

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images in 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 also provides excellent image quality and access to each and every individual image contained in the stream.

Note also that multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams can use different image settings.

MPEG-4

This is a video compression standard that makes good use of bandwidth, and which can provide high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.

The MPEG-4 standard provides scope for a large range of different coding tools for use by various applications in different situations, and the AXIS 225FD provides certain subsets of these tools. These are represented as Video object types, which are selected for use with different viewing clients. The supported video object types are:

•Simple - sets the coding type to H.263, as used by e.g. QuickTime™.

•Advanced Simple - sets the coding type to MPEG-4 Part 2, as used by AMC (AXIS Media Control)

When using MPEG-4 it is also possible to control the bit rate, which in turn allows the amount of bandwidth usage to be controlled. CBR (constant bit rate) is used to achieve a specific bit rate by varying the quality of the MPEG-4 stream. When using VBR (variable bit rate), the quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible, at the cost of a varying bit rate.

Notes: •MPEG-4 is licensed technology. The AXIS 225FD includes one viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed copies of the viewing client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.

•All clients viewing the MPEG-4 stream must use the same set of coding tools.

225FD specifications

Axis Communications, a pioneer in network video solutions, continues to innovate with the introduction of the Axis 225FD, a cutting-edge fixed dome network camera designed to enhance surveillance capabilities in various environments. This device strives to meet the demanding requirements of modern security by combining advanced imaging technology with user-friendly features.

One of the standout characteristics of the Axis 225FD is its exceptional image quality. It boasts a high-resolution sensor capable of capturing detailed images even in low light conditions. This is further enhanced by Axis' Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which ensures that both bright and dark areas within a scene are clearly visible. This feature is particularly useful in dynamic lighting situations, such as entryways where bright sunlight may contrast with shaded areas.

The Axis 225FD is equipped with a built-in microphone to capture audio along with video, adding another layer of context to footage. This feature is invaluable for various applications, allowing security personnel to not only see but also hear events as they unfold, leading to more comprehensive situational awareness.

For adaptability, the camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), simplifying installation by allowing both power and data transfer through a single cable. This efficiency means less clutter and easier setup, making the Axis 225FD suitable for diverse installation environments, including retail spaces, offices, and public areas.

In terms of security features, the Axis 225FD supports multiple streams, enabling different resolutions for different scenarios. This flexibility ensures that users can tailor the video quality based on their bandwidth constraints while maintaining critical surveillance capabilities. Moreover, the camera is equipped with tampering alarms that send notifications if it is moved or obstructed, further bolstering security measures.

Durability is another critical consideration with the Axis 225FD. Designed to withstand the rigors of various environments, the camera is housed in a robust casing that protects it from dust and moisture, meeting IP66 and IK08 standards. This resilience ensures that the camera remains operational in challenging conditions, providing reliable surveillance year-round.

In summary, the Axis Communications 225FD is a state-of-the-art surveillance solution that excels in key areas such as image quality, audio capture, installation flexibility, and security features. With its durable design and advanced technologies, it stands out as a top choice for organizations looking to enhance their monitoring capabilities and ensure the safety of people and assets.
