Media streams
Media streams
The Axis product 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 product provides access to H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, audio s treams and to the list of available stream proles. Other applications and clients can access video and audio 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 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 op
Note
H.264 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed copies of the clients is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
This unicast method (RTP over UDP) is used for live uni cast 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 m ulticast video. The video stream is al 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 ro router is congured to allow this. It is not p ossible 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.

Video and Audio
Image
You can modify the image resolution and compression, and rotate the image from the Image tab (Video & Audio > Video Stream). Setting the compression level affects the image quality and bandwidth; the lower the compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements.
To avoid bandwidth 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 20.
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 consists 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 frames.
The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOV length saves considerably on bandwidth but may have an adverse affect on image quality.
The Axis product supports two H.264 proles.TheMainprofile provides higher compre ssion than the Baseline profile with the same video quality, but requires more processing power to decode.
ThebitratecanbesetasVariable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). 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 a llows you to set a xed Target 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 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. 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 Includ and enter the code #b in the eld.

Sometimes the image s ize is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the ma ximum frame size helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video provides consistently 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 opti

Capture mode
Capturemodedefines how image data is taken from the image sensor in regards to resolution and frame rate, prioritizing either one or the other. The capture mode is set the rst time the camera is accessed. See Congure capture mode, on page 9 .
To change the capture mode setting, select the desired Capture Mode from the drop-down list and click OK. When the capture mode setting is changed, most other settings, for example motion detection windows and action rules, will be removed or reset. Stop all video s treams before changing the capture mode.
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 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 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

Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark areas in the image.

Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in most situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove icker which can be caused by uorescent and other light sources. The Hold current option locks the current exposure settings.
Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other a reas 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 requirement, select a predened area.
Shutter & Gain
The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of motion blur and noise in the image. To adapt to different lighting, available storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prioritize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allows using different prioritization in normal light and in low light.
Shutter speed is related to the amount of time the shutter is opened and is measured in seconds (s). A slow shutter speed allows more light to reach the sensor and can help produce a brighter image in low light situations. On the other hand, a slow shutter speed can cause moving objects to appear blurry.

Fixed to use a xed shutter speed.
Gain, measured in decibel (dB), is the amount of amplication applied to the image. A high gain may provide a better image in low light situations but will increase the amount of image noise.
Set Gain to
Auto to set the gain automatically. If required, use Max gain to limit the applied gain.
Fixed to use a xed gain.
When Shutter and Gain are both set to Auto, it is possible to set the Priority between low motion blur and low noise manually and to use a different Priority in Normal Light and in Low Light.
Example
Consider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night. To be able to, for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light priority slider toward low motion blur. At nighttime, motion detection is more important than identication. Motion blur is acceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, move the low light priority slider toward low noise.
Example
If storage space or bandwidth is limited, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noise and produce smaller image les.
Iris adjustment
Select Enable automatic iris adjustment to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available if a xed iris is used.
Use the Iris adjustment slider to set the preferred F-value. The scale rep resents the amount the iris is open. If set to 0, the iris is opened as much as possible. If set to 100, the iris is closed as much as possible. The actual F-value is shown b elow the slider. If automatic iris adjustment is enabled, the iris will stay at this pos conditions change, the iris will adjust itself to the best iris settings.

Day/Night
The IR cut lter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, or when using an IR lamp, set the IR cut lter to Off. This increases light sensitivity and allows the product to “see” infrared light. The image is shown in black and white when the IR cut lter is off.
If using automatic Exposure control,settheIRcutlter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off accordingtothe lighting conditions.
If using IR illuminations, select Enable focus adjustment for IR illumination.
View Areas
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video stream and PTZ settings.
To enable view areas, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Areas.
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 larg er than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture, requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.

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 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 certicates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certicates are provided by an Certication Authority (CA). You need:
•aCAcertificate to validate the identity of the authentication server
• a CA-signed client certicate 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 certicate, a client certicate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certicate, the client certicate and the client private k ey.
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 router allows devices on a private netw ork (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network trafc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-congured 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 y ou wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly congured, all HTTP trafc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router isforwardedtotheproduct.

erformance considerations
P
When settings up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some 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:
52
Page 53
AXIS P3367–VE Fixed Dome Network Camera
Technical Specications
• High image resolution and/or lower compression levels result in larger images. Bandwidth affected.
• Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients. Bandwidth affected.
• Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients. Effect on frame rate and bandwidth.
• Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.
• Heavy usage of event settings affect the product’s CPU load. Frame rate affected.
• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected.
• Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
