Page 11: Video Streams
Video Streams The AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 provides several different image and video stream formats. The type you want to use would depend on your requirements and on the properties of your network. The Live View page provides access to MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams, as well as to single JPEG images. -

Page 20: Html Examples
See also the section on PTZ Configuration, on page 22. HTML Examples You can add live video from the AXIS 209MFD to your own web site. The camera can transmit a Motion JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If MPEG-4 is set as video format, multicasting is used and the audio and video stream is available for an unlimited number of viewers connected to the parts of the network where multicast is enabled. -
Page 21: External Video
External Video An external video source is a source originating from some other Axis device on the network. The images from these sources can be displayed just as if they were produced by the AXIS 209MFD. The External Video Source List shows all of the external video sources currently configured. The information displayed is the source’s name and the path to the video stream. -

IP address of the NTP server. Host Name Configuration The AXIS 209MFD can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. For more information, please see the Security help. - Page 31 Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 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 will be forwarded to the camera.
- Page 32 The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of network traffic originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to e.g. reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic.

The server report contains important information about the server and its software, as well as a list of the current parameters. - Page 38 1) Move the camera to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set the IP address again, DHCP using the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the ARP/Ping commands. 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.

Page 42: Optimizing Your System
Optimizing your system To see the bandwidth and frame rate currently required by the video stream, the AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 provides a tool that can be used to display these values directly in the video image. To do this, special format strings are added as part of a text overlay. - Page 43 AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 For MPEG-4, if there is only limited bandwidth available, and if this is more important than the image quality, using a constant bit rate (CBR) is recommended. Use a variable bit rate (VBR) if the image quality needs to be maintained at a higher level.

IP address to a hardware MAC address. A request is broadcast on the local network to discover the MAC address for an IP address. ARTPEC (Axis Real Time Picture Encoder) - This chip is used for image compression. ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) - A circuit designed for a specific application, as opposed to a general purpose circuit, such as a microprocessor. - Page 45 Image compression - Image compression minimizes the file size (in bytes) of an image. Two of the most common compressed image AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 formats are JPEG and GIF. Interlacing - Interlaced video is video captured at 50 pictures (known as fields) per second, of which every 2 consecutive fields (at half height) are then combined into 1 frame.
