AXIS Q19 Series - Product overview

Product overview

This manual applies to the following products:

• AXIS Q1910 Thermal Network Camera (indoor use)

• AXIS Q1910-E Thermal Network Camera (outdoor use)

• AXIS Q1921 Thermal Network Camera (indoor use)

• AXIS Q1921-E Thermal Network Camera (outdoor use)

• AXIS Q1922 Thermal Network Camera (indoor use)

• AXIS Q1922-E Thermal Network Camera (outdoor use)

AXIS Q1910/-E/AXIS Q1921/-E/AXIS Q1922/-E Thermal Network Cameras use thermal imaging technology to detect and convert thermal radiation to images. Thermal radiation, or heat, is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by all objects, even by cold objects like ice. Thermal cameras do not require any visible light and can operate in complete darkness and difficult weather conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog.

Images produced by a thermal camera show the temperature variations in the scene. Thermal images are often displayed in bright, intense colors which are created digitally to help the human eye distinguish details in the scene. Each color represents a different temperature; white and red are usually used for higher temperatures, while green, blue and violet are used for colder ones.

AXIS Q19 Thermal Camera Series has all the features of Axis other high-end network video products and can be seamlessly integrated into an existing IP-surveillance system. Due to export regulations for dual-use goods, the frame rate is limited to

8.3 fps in some countries.

Standard lenses and housings cannot be used with thermal network cameras because glass blocks thermal radiation.

For more information on thermal imaging, please refer to the white paper on thermal cameras available at www.axis.com

For more information on Johnson’s criteria, please refer to the white paper on Johnson’s criteria available at www.axis.com

Key features

AXIS Q19 Series - Video Streams

Video Streams

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

The Live View page in the network camera provides access to

H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, and to the list of available stream profiles. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.

How to stream H.264

This video compression standard 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 your network. The available options in AXIS Media Control are:

64 and AAC are licensed technologies. The network camera includes one H.264 viewing client license and one AAC

H.2 audio client license. Installing additional unlicensed copies of the clients is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.

The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but image contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the network camera is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows.

Image Appearance

Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100 and is best adjusted depending on the specific

application. A higher value produces a brighter image and the possibility to see details in the darkests parts. A lower value produces a darker image and the possibility to see details in the brightest parts.

Contrast - Adjust the image’s contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.

Exposure Settings

Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to temperature variations in the scene.

Automatic gain control - This setting is used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal, the stronger the gain. Select the Linear or Equalization automatic gain control method. The latter uses a histogram equalization method, which adjusts the gain dynamically by distributing the most frequent intensity values.

Exposure zones - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto setting can be used, but for particular requirements, check Defined and then click Edit... and select one of the predefined areas.

• Simplex - Thermal Network Camera speaker only. Audio is transmitted from the client to the camera and played by the speakers connected to the camera. To send audio, the Talk and Microphone buttons in the AMC toolbar must both be enabled. Click either button to stop audio transmission.

• Simplex - Thermal Network Camera microphone only. Audio captured by the microphone connected to the camera is transmitted from the camera to one or more clients.

Audio Input

An external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio in connector. If an external microphone or line source has been connected, the internal microphone is automatically disconnected. The audio source must be set to Microphone or

Line depending on the connected device.

Notes:

• To prevent unauthorized listening, disable the internal microphone by inserting a plug in the Audio in connector.

• The internal microphone on AXIS Q1910-E/Q1921-E/Q1922-E cannot be used.

The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. If using a small electret condenser microphone such as a clip-on microphone or a PC microphone, enable this option.

Notes:

•If Enable microphone power is unchecked (disabled), the internal microphone is also disabled.

• To use a high impedance dynamic microphone, do not enable DC power. DC power will not harm the microphone;

if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. The default value is DC power enabled. To use a professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.

If the sound input is too low or too high, adjust the input gain for the microphone attached to the network camera.

Select the desired audio Encoding format, G711 μ-law, G726 or AAC.

Select the required Sample rate (number of times per second the sound is sampled). The higher the sample rate, the better the audio quality and the greater the bandwidth required.

Changing the Bit rate affects the audio compression level and hence audio quality. A higher bit rate can improve audio quality but requires more bandwidth.

The network camera can be configured to trigger an event if the incoming sound level rises above, falls below, or passes the set Alarm level.

Audio Output

If the sound from the speaker is too low or too high, adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the network camera.

Note:

To receive synchronized video in H.264 and audio, it is recommended that the time settings in the camera and client computer are synchronized with an NTP Server. This is enabled in the camera under System Options > Date & Time. Please refer to the help pages for more information.

Audio Clips

An audio clip is a sound file that can be played when an event occurs or manually from the Live View page. Audio clips can be uploaded to the camera or recorded using camera’s microphone.

Add a new audio clip

To add a new audio clip, click Add... The dialog expands with three choices Record, Upload and Location.

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 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).

• a CAcertificate 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.

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

Certificates

Network

Basic TCP/IP Settings

The network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network camera receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There are also options for using AVHS (AXIS Video Hosting System) and AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can be summarized as:

• The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flo

• Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an appli control over bandwidth races between applications.

The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The network camera marks the following types of traffic:

•video

•audio

•event/alarm

• management network traffic

QoS Settings - For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch the type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always shown in decimal.

If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means that

the IP address may already be in use by another device on your network. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the unit. If you see: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use with your camera. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit.

The static IP address in the camera is used before the DHCP server sets a a dynamic address. This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may be problems accessing the camera. To avoid this, set the static IP address to 0.0.0.0.

If the camera and client are on the same network, Run AXIS IP Utility to locate the camera. Identify the camera using its model or serial number Alternatively:

1) Move the camera to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set the IP address again, using the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the ARP/Ping com mands.

2) Access the unit and disable DHCP in the TCP/IP settings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit now has a fixed IP address that will not change.

3) As an alternative to 2), if dynamic IP address via DHCP or BOOTP is required, select the required service and then configure IP address change notification from the network set tings.

General performance considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Several factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required; the following factors are among the most important to consider:

• High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels result in larger images.

• Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients.

• Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression, etc.) by different clients.

• Accessing both Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously.

• Enabled motion detection.

• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure.
