Pixel Counter

The pixel counter can be accessed from:

•Video > Video Stream. Under Preview, click Open and select the Show pixel counter option to enable the rectangle in the image. Use the mouse to move and resize the rectangle, or enter the number of pixels in the Width and Height fields and click Apply.

•The Live View page in Internet Explorer with AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Windows. Right-click in the image and select Pixel counter. Use the mouse to move and resize the rectangle.

Image

The default image settings can be configured under Video> Video Stream. Select the Image tab.

The following settings are available:

•Resolution. Select the default resolution.

•Compression. The compression level affects the image quality, bandwidth and file size of saved images; the lower the compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements and larger file sizes.

•Mirror image. If required, the image can be mirrored.

•Rotate image. If required, the image can be rotated.

•Palette. The image can be colored by applying a palette. Colors in the image indicate temperature differences and can be used to improve visibility of fine details. The palette selected here is used as the default palette, other palettes can be selected on the Live View page.

•Maximum frame rate. To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be Limited to a fixed amount. Alternatively, the frame rate can be set as Unlimited, which means the Axis product always delivers the highest frame rate possible under the current conditions.
