AXIS 233D - Video Streams 13

Video Streams

The AXIS 233D provides several different image and video stream formats. The type to use depends on your requirements and on the properties of your network.

The Live View page in the AXIS 233D 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.

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 more 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.

Notes: MPEG-4 is licensed technology. The AXIS 233D includes one viewing client license. Installing addi- tional 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 image settings.

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 233D 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.

233D specifications

Axis Communications, a pioneer in the field of network video solutions, has continually pushed the envelope in surveillance technology with its innovative products. Among its esteemed offerings, the Axis 233D stands out as a formidable tool for both security professionals and organizations seeking comprehensive monitoring solutions.

The Axis 233D is a high-performance PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. One of its main features is the ability to provide high-resolution video streaming at 30 frames per second, ensuring that users can capture clear and detailed images, even in dynamic situations. This camera supports a resolution of up to 2 megapixels, which enhances its ability to deliver crisp visuals, crucial for identifying individuals and objects in the monitored areas.

Equipped with advanced pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, the Axis 233D can cover expansive areas with ease. The camera offers a 360-degree endless rotation for pan movements and a wide field of view, making it ideal for large spaces like parking lots, shopping centers, and public transport stations. The powerful zoom lens allows operators to focus on specific subjects from a distance, which is essential in security monitoring.

The Axis 233D also employs robust technologies to ensure excellent performance in various lighting conditions. With integrated WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), this camera can balance scenes with significant contrasts in lighting, ensuring that both bright and dark areas are clearly visible. Additionally, features like digital noise reduction contribute to clearer images in low-light situations, making it versatile for day and night operation.

Another characteristic that sets the Axis 233D apart is its network functionality. This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation as it requires only a single Ethernet cable for both power and data transfer. It also leverages Axis' advanced video compression technologies, including H.264, which optimizes bandwidth usage while maintaining high image quality.

Furthermore, the Axis 233D is embedded with intelligent video analytics, enabling proactive monitoring. Functions such as motion detection and object tracking help users respond quickly to potential security threats. This capability is critical in real-time environments where each moment counts.

In summary, the Axis Communications 233D is a high-end surveillance solution that marries advanced technology with user-friendly features. With its PTZ functionalities, exceptional image quality, robust performance in varying light conditions, and intelligent analytics, it serves as an indispensable asset for security professionals looking to enhance their surveillance systems effectively. As security needs continue to evolve, the Axis 233D remains at the forefront of addressing those challenges.
