Problem with AMC.

To enable the updating of video images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser

 

(Internet Explorer only)

to allow ActiveX controls. Also, make sure that AXIS Media Control (AMC) component is

 

 

installed on your workstation.

Problems uploading files

 

 

 

 

 

Limited space.

There is only limited space available for the upload of your own files. Try deleting one or

 

 

more existing files, to free up space.

Overlay not displayed

 

 

 

 

 

Total size of image and text overlay

Using a text overlay affects the amount of space available to the overlay image. The text

 

exceeds maximum size of 640x480.

overlay occupies proportionally more and more space the lower the resolution, i.e., 16

 

 

pixels in height at 640x480, 32 pixels at 320x240 and 64 pixels at 160x120.

 

 

Because of this, changing to a lower resolution after configuring an overlay image and a

 

 

text overlay may cause the total overlay size to exceed the maximum size of 640x480,

 

 

and no overlay will be displayed.

Motion Detection triggers unexpectedly

 

 

 

 

 

Changes in luminance.

Motion detection is based upon changes in luminance in the image. This means that if

 

 

there are sudden changes in the lighting, motion detection may be istakenly triggered.

 

 

Lower the sensitivity setting to avoid problems with luminance.
