Lower frame rate than expected

Reduce number of applications running on the client computer.

 

 

 

 

 

Limit the number of simultaneous viewers. This is done in System Options > Security > Users.

 

 

 

 

 

Check with the system administrator that there is enough bandwidth available. See also the online help.

 

 

 

 

 

Check in the AMC control panel applet (MPEG-4 tab) that video processing is not set to Decode only I

 

 

frames.

 

 

 

 

 

Lower the image resolution.

 

 

 

 

Why don’t I get 30 frames per second?

See the section General performance considerations, on page 56.

 

 

 

 

Lost or poor images in pre-trigger buffer

Make sure that Cyclic refresh under Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4

 

(MPEG-4 video stream)

is disabled.

 

 

 

 

Image degeneration

Decrease the GOV length, see the online help for more information.

 

 

 

 

The Power indicator is not constantly lit

 

 

 

 

 

Faulty power supply

Check that you are using an AXIS PS-L power supply.

 

 

 

 

The Status and Network indicator LEDs are flashing red rapidly

 

 

 

 

Hardware failure

Contact your Axis dealer.

 

 

 

 

The Status indicator LED is flashing red and the

camera is inaccessible

 

 

 

 

A firmware upgrade has been interrupted or

See the Emergency Recovery Procedure above.

 

the firmware has otherwise been damaged

 

 

 

 

 

No images displayed on web page

 

 

 

 

 

Problem with AMC.

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

 

(Internet Explorer only)

controls. Also, make sure that AXIS Media Control (AMC) component is installed on your workstation.

 

 

 

 

Installation of additional ActiveX component

Configure your camera to use a Java applet for updating the video images under

 

restricted or prohibited

Live View Config > Layout > Default Viewer for Internet Explorer. See the online help for more information.

 

 

 

 

Video/Image problems, general

 

 

 

 

 

Image too dark or too light

Check the video image settings. See the online help on Video and Image Settings.

 

 

 

 

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, e.g. pre-buffers, motion detection, high-resolution images, high frame rates, etc, will reduce the

 

 

performance of the camera.

 

 

 

 

Poor performance

Poor performance may be caused by e.g. heavy network traffic, multiple users accessing the unit, low perfor-

 

 

mance clients, use of features such as Motion Detection, Event handling, Image rotation other than 180

 

 

degrees.

 

 

 

 

Poor quality snapshot images

 

 

 

 

 

Screen incorrectly configured on your work-

In Display Properties, configure your screen to show at least 65000 colors, i.e. at least 16-bit. Using only 16

 

station

or 256 colors will produce dithering artifacts in the image.

 

 

 

 

Browser freezes

 

 

 

 

 

Netscape 7.x or Mozilla 1.4 (or later) can

Lower the image resolution.

 

sometimes freeze on a slow computer

 

 

 

 

 

Problems uploading files

 

 

 

 

 

Limited space

There is only limited space available for the upload of your own files. Try deleting existing files to free up

 

 

space.

 

 

 

 

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 triggered mistakenly. Lower the sensitivity setting to avoid

 

 

problems with luminance.
