AXIS P1343 Network Camera

Media streams

The Axis product provides several audio and 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, audio streams and to the list of available stream proﬁles. Other applications and clients can access video and audio s treams directly, without going via the Live View page.

How to s tream H.264

The video com pression 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

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 opti

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.

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 conﬁgure ﬁrewallstoallowRTSPtrafﬁc.

This unicast method can be used to traverse ﬁrewalls. Firewalls are commonly conﬁgured 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 al 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 ro router is conﬁgured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example. Note also that all multicast viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20 simultaneous connections.

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.

Image

You can modify the image resolution and compression, and rotate the i mage from the Image tab (Video & Audio > Video Stream).

The image can also be mirrored from the Image tab.

Setting the c om pression level affects the image quality and bandwidth; the lower the compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements.

To avoid bandwi dth problems on the network, you can limit the frame rate allowed to each viewer. The maximum frame rate can be set to Unlimited, or you can limit the frame rate to a value.

An image or text can be superimposed over the image as overlay. See Overlay, on page 21.

Save your settings before they can take effect.

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 c onsists of different types of frames such as I-frames, P-frames and B-frames. An I-frame is a complete image whereas P-frames and B-frames only contain the differences from previous/future fram

The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increa bandwidth requirements in some cases, but may also have an adverse affect on image quality.

VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up more bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower image activity. CBR allows you to set a ﬁxed Target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandw image activity, but in this case cannot, frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. Not setting a priority means that frame rate and image quality are equally affected.

Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the bandwidth and stor provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light.

Camera Settings

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

Image Appearance

Increasing the Color level increases the color s aturation. 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 adjusted 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 s ource. 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

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in the image. In intense backlight conditions, enable WDR. Disable WDR In low light conditions for optimal exposure .

Note

This setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.

View Area

A view area 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 settings.

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

When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream 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 conﬁ gure the view area:

1. Go to Video & Audio > View Area.

2. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.

3. A new view area covers the whole image. Usethemousetomoveandresizetheviewarea.

IEEE 802.1X

IEEE 802.1X is a standard for po rt-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 authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.

In Axis' implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital certiﬁcates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certiﬁcates are provided by an Certiﬁcation Authority (CA). You need:

•aCAcertiﬁcate to validate the identity of the authentication server

• a CA-signed client certiﬁcate and a private key to authenticate the network device.

To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

1. Obtain a CA certiﬁcate, a client certiﬁcate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).

2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certiﬁcate, the client certiﬁcate and the client private key.

3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.

4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network route r allows devices on a private n e t w o rk (LAN) to sha re a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network trafﬁc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-conﬁgured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

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 NAT router. With NAT traversal properly conﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router isforwardedtotheproduct.

NAT traversal is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router m u st also support UPnP
