AXIS 211M - Video and Image settings

Video and Image settings

The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the AXIS 211M. For details of each setting, please refer to the online help available from the setup tools. Click to access the online help

Image Appearance

Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be rotated, the image resolution and compression can be adjusted, and the white balance can be changed.

Resolution includes wide screen 16:9, partial which stands for partial scan where an image is taken from the center region of the sensor for optimal frame rate in Motion JPEG/MPEG-4 and full speed which is a partial

scan that has been scaled down to give full frame rate in Motion JPEG.

The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Setting higher resolution and lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the amount of bandwidth used.

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

Text Overlay Settings

Use these settings to include text and date and time overlays.

These overlays are included on one line, at the top or bottom of the video image.

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 browser. For unlimited video stream time, select the Unlimited radio button. Note that the maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.

Text, date and time overlays

Overlay image

The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio button.

For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.

Please refer to the online help for more information.
