Image

The default image settings can be configured under Video> 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 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.

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 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 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 .

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.

Q6045-E specifications

Axis Communications Q6045-E is an advanced network camera designed specifically for professional surveillance applications. This camera exemplifies Axis's commitment to high-performance video surveillance solutions, combining cutting-edge technology with robust design features.

One of the standout characteristics of the Q6045-E is its exceptional imaging capabilities. Equipped with a 1/2.8” sensor, it delivers high-resolution video at up to 1080p, ensuring clear and detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera supports a wide dynamic range (WDR), enabling it to capture high-quality images in environments with varying light levels, such as areas that experience both bright sunlight and deep shadows.

The Q6045-E also integrates a powerful 30x optical zoom lens, which allows for detailed close-ups of objects at a distance. This feature is essential for applications requiring precise identification, such as monitoring perimeters, parking lots, and business premises. The camera includes intelligent video analytics capabilities, providing features like motion detection, tampering alarm, and audio detection, enhancing the effectiveness of security measures.

Another noteworthy aspect is the camera’s PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) functionality. It can pan 360 degrees and tilt from -20 to 90 degrees, providing extensive coverage and flexibility for optimal surveillance. This means a single Q6045-E can monitor vast areas, reducing the need for multiple cameras and thus lowering overall system costs.

Durability and reliability are also key features of the Q6045-E. Designed for outdoor use, the camera is IP66-rated and NEMA 4X-rated, which means it can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
