AXIS 225FD - Video and Image Settings

Video and Image Settings

The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the

AXIS 225FD. For details of each setting, please refer to the online help available from the setup tools. Click to access the online help.

Image Settings

Image Appearance

Adjust these settings to optimize the video images according to your requirements.

All configuration of images and overlays will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the bandwidth.

Changed video image settings have immediate effect on the MPEG-4 stream, but the Motion JPEG stream will have to be started (or restarted) before the settings take effect.

Text Overlay Settings

The date, time, and user defined text can be included on one line, either on the top or bottom of the video image.

It is also possible to set how the text and text background are displayed. You can set the text to be either black or white, and the text background can also be set to black, white, semi-transparent, or transparent.

Please see the online help for further information on these settings.

Video Stream

Define the maximum video stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web browser. For unlimited video stream time, set this value to 0. This setting is only applicable to Motion JPEG.

The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network.

Test

To preview the image before saving, click Test. Note that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.
