Media Streams
Media Streams
The Ax is 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 proles . Other applications and clients can access video streams directly, without going via the Live View page.
How to Stream H.264
The video compression standard H.264 makes good use of bandwidth, and can p rovide 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
RTP over RTSP
RTP over RTSP over HTTP
Multicast RTP
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 specic requirements.
Note
H.264 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicense d copies of the client is prohibited. To
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.
This unicast method (RTP tunneled over RTSP) is useful as it is relatively simple to congure rewallstoallowRTSPtraffic.
This unicast method can be used to traverse rewalls. Firewalls are commonly congured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled.
This method (RTP over 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 efcient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of clients viewing simultaneously. A multicast cannot however, pass a network router unless the router is congured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example. Note also that all m ultica st viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20 simultaneous connections.
purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
Unicasting is used for video-on-demand transmission so that there is no video tra ffic on the network until a client connects and requests the stream. Note that there are a maximum of 20 simultaneous unicast connections.
MJPEG
This form at 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 video from the Axis product.

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 d ifferent types of frames such a s 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, but may also have an adverse affect on ima

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 v alue 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 differe nce 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 light 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 f rom the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help

IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must be authenticated. The authentication is performed by an authentication server, typical ly a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.
In Axis implementation, the Axis product and the authentication s erve r identify themselves with digital certicates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certicates a re provided by a Certication Authority (CA). You need:
•aCAcertificate to authenticate the authentication server
• a CA-signed client certicate to authenticate the Axis product.
To create and install certicates, go to System Options > Security > Certicates.See are preinstalled.
To allow the product to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

Certicates
Certicates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notication messages for example via email. Two types of certicates can be used with the Axis product:
Server/Client certicates - to authenticate the Axis product
CA certicates - to authenticate peer certicates, for example the certicate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is
connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.
Note
Installed certicates, except preinstalled CA certicates, will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default. Preinstalled CA certicates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.
A Server/Client certicate can be self-signed or issued by a Certicate Authority (CA). A self-signed certicate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certicate has been obtained.

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A network router allo ws devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Interne t. This is done by forwarding network trafc from the private netw ork to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private netw ork (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-congured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

System Op tion s
Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a N AT router. With NAT traversal properly congured, all HTTP trafc to an external H TTP port in the NAT router isforwardedtotheproduct.
NAT traversal is congured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP
• The route r has many d iffe re nt names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home rewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful i f your NAT router does not support UPnP a nd you need to manually congure port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.
• When the port is sele cte d automatically it is displayed in this eld. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.
This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to trans fe r images via FTP to other locations and servers.

Performance C onsiderations
When settings up your system, it is important to consider how various s etting s and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and s ome affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
The following factors are among the most important to consider:
• High image resolution and/or lower compression levels result in images containing more data. Bandwidth affecte d .
