Image too dark or too light

Check that the termination dip switch for the video source is set to the correct position. See

Problems uploading own files

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

 

 

existing files, to free up space.

 

Missing images in uploads

This can occur when trying to use a larger image buffer than is actually available. Try lowering

 

 

the frame rate or the upload period.

 

Slow image update

Configuring pre-buffers, motion detection, high resolution images, and high frame rates, will

 

 

reduce the performance of the video server.

 

Slow performance

Slow performance may be caused by heavy network traffic, multiple users accessing the unit,

 

 

low performance clients, and features such as Motion Detection, Event handling, Image rota-

Using only 16 or 256 colors on your display will produce dithering artifacts in the image.

 

 

Incorrect exposure in images

 

 

 

 

 

Incorrect line termination

If the AXIS 243Q Blade is to be connected in loopthrough with other equipment, disable the

 

 

input termination by turning the corresponding DIP switch to OFF.

Problems with the MPEG-4 format

 

 

 

 

 

Lower frame rate than expected

Check with the administrator that there is enough bandwidth available. Check also the settings

 

 

for bit rate control, in the Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4settings. Using an inappro-
