AXIS M1113–E

Media Streams

Media Streams

The Axis product provides several video stream formats. Your requirements and the properties of your network will determine the
type you use.

The Live View page in the product provides access to H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, and to the list of available stream profiles.
Other applications and clients can access video streams directly, w ithout going via the Live View page.

How to Stream H.264

The video compression standard H.264 makes good use of bandwidth, and can provide high quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s.

Deciding which combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of
your network. The available options in AXIS Media Control are:

Unicast RTP

This unicast method (RTP over UDP) is used
for live unicast video, especially when it is
important to always have an up-to-date video
stream, even if some images are dropped.

RTP over RTSP

This unicast method (RTP tunneled over RTSP)
is us ef ul as it is relatively simple to configure
firewallstoallowRTSPtraffic.

RTP over RTSP over HTTP

This unicast method can be used to traverse
firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured to
allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to
be tunneled.

Unicasting is used for video-on-demand
transmission so that there is no video traffic
on the network until a client connects and
requests the stream.
Note that there are a maximum of 20
simultaneous unicast connections.

Multicast RTP

This method (RTP o ver UDP) should be used for live multicast video. The video stream is always
up-to-date, even if some images are dropped.
Multicasting provides the most efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of
clients viewing simultaneously. A multicast cannot however, pass a network router unless the
router is configured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example.
Note also that all multica st viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20
simultaneous connections.

AXIS Media Control negotiates with the Axis product to determine the transport protocol to use. The order of priority, listed in the
AMC Control Panel, can be changed and the options disabled, to suit specific requirements.

Note

H.264 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed
copies of the client is prohibited. To

purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.

MJPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images for t he video stream. These images are then displayedandupdatedataratesufficient
to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.

The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image qualityandaccesstoeveryimage
contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the Axis product is to use the AXIS
Media Control in Internet Explorer in Windows.

AXIS Media Control (AMC)

AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows is the recommended method of accessing live v ideo from the Axis product.

Click Save to apply the new settings.

H.264

H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bit rates.
An H.264 video stream consists of different types of frames such as I-frames and P-frames. An I-frame is a complete image whereas
P-frames only contain the differences from previous frames.

The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOV length may save considerably on
bandwidth requirements in some cases, b ut may also have an adverse affect on ima

ge quality.

ThebitratecanbesetasVariable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR

). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image
complexity, using up mo re bandwidth for increased a ctivity in the image, and less for lower image activity. CBR allows you to set a
fixed Ta rget bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased
image activity, but in this case cannot, frame rate and image qua

lity ar e affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is
possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. Not setting a prior ity means that frame rate and image quality are equally
affected. You must save your settings before they can take effect.

The current bit rate can be set to appear as text overlay. To do this, select the Include text check box option under Overlay
Settings and enter the modifier #b in t

he field.

MJPEG

Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. S etting the frame size to the Default setting
provides consiste

ntly good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,
the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.

Stream Profiles

Astreamprofile is a set of pre-configured stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings.
Stream profiles can be used:

• When setting up recording using action rules, see

Events, on page 26

.

• When setting up a continuous recording, see

Continuous Recording, on page 29

.

• In the Live View page — select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.

14

AXIS M1113–E

Video

Four pre-programmed stream profiles are available for quick set up. Each pre-programmed p ro file has a descriptive name, indicating
its purpose. If required, the pre-programmed stream profiles can be modified and new custom i zed stream profiles can be created.

To crea te a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video > Stream Profiles.

To se le ct a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.

Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.

Image Appearance

Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation. The value 0 gives a
black and white image.

The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.

Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.

The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be a djusted using the slidebar.

White Balance

White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the lig ht source. The Axis
product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light

source from the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help

.

Exposure Settings

Configure the expo sure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relatio n

to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth

considerations.

Exposure value - Click in the bar to fine-tune the exposure.

Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas in

the image to appear too dark.

Exposure zones - This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto
setting can be used. For particular re

quirement, select a predefined area.

Exposure priority - When Motion

is prioritized, motion blur in the image is minimized. This can be useful for recognition of moving
objects such as people and vehicles. However, prioritizing motion may cause an increase in image noise, especially in low light
situations. When Low noise is prioritized, image noise is minimized. The file size is reduced, which can be useful if storage space or
bandwidth is limited

. However, prioritizing low noise may result in a very dark image, especially in low light situations.

View Area

Avieware

a is a cropped part of the full view. The view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video

stream and PTZ se tti n gs.

When s etting up a view area it is recommended that the video strea m resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.

To enable a view area, go to Video > Camera Settings and select Enable View Area.
