Video and Audio

•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 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.

Note

If recording audio to edge storage, such as a network share, use AAC encoding.

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 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.

Configure the audio output settings under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.

Output gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the line audio output. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB.

Audio Clips

An audio clip is a sound file that can be played when events occur or directly from the Live View page. The audio clip must first be uploaded to the Axis product or recorded by a microphone connected to the product.

To add, download, modify or remove audio clips, go to Video & Audio > Audio Clips. For more information see the online help.

To configure the Axis product to play audio clips when an event occurs, an action rule must be set up. For more information, see Events on page 35.

Note

Audio clips cannot be used if the product’s audio functionality is enabled. The audio functionality is enabled on the Audio tab under Video & Audio > Video Stream.

Equipped with a 1/3” progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor, the camera delivers high-definition video footage with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, ensuring that critical details are captured clearly. The camera supports multiple video streams, allowing users to optimize bandwidth usage and customize viewing options according to specific requirements.

The P3304 boasts a wide dynamic range (WDR) technology, which enables it to handle challenging lighting conditions. This feature enhances visibility in environments with bright and dark areas, making it ideal for settings like entrance foyers or retail stores, where varying lighting can make surveillance difficult. WDR ensures that both shadows and highlights are captured effectively, leading to improved overall image quality.

Additionally, the camera is equipped with Axis’ Zipstream technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality. By analyzing the scene and automatically reducing the bitrate of areas with little detail, Zipstream allows for significant savings in data storage and transmission costs, making it an efficient choice for businesses with extensive surveillance needs.

The Axis P3304 also includes features designed for enhanced security and ease of use. It is compliant with the ONVIF profile, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of video management systems. This makes integration into existing security infrastructures seamless and hassle-free. Furthermore, the camera has built-in analytics capabilities, such as motion detection and tampering alarm, which bolster its functionality and provide additional layers of security.

Durability is another hallmark of the Axis P3304. The camera is designed to operate in various environmental conditions, with an IP51 rating for ingress protection against dust and moisture. This makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

In summary, the Axis Communications P3304 is a versatile network camera that combines high-definition video quality, advanced technologies like WDR and Zipstream, and strong durability. With its array of features tailored for security and surveillance, it provides an effective solution for a wide range of applications, meeting the demands of modern security needs efficiently.
