Page 18: Video And Audio
AXIS F41 Main Unit Video and Audio Video and Audio The video and audio settings can be used to optimize video and audio quality. You can configure the following: • Video stream settings. See page 18. • Stream profiles. See page 21. - Page 19 Maximum frame rate. To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be Limited to a fixed amount. Alternatively, the frame rate can be set as Unlimited, which means the Axis product always delivers the highest frame rate possible under the current conditions.
- Page 20 Image details that are important for forensic video analysis, for example faces and license plates, are preserved with enough number of bits. Axis’ Zipstream Technology for H.264 conforms to the H.264 standard and is compatible with third-party clients and VMS solutions that decode H.264 video.

Page 21: About Stream Profiles
About capture modes Capture mode defines the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. A capture mode with a large maximum resolution has a reduced maximum frame rate and vice versa. The capture mode setting also affects the camera’s field of view as the effective size of the image sensor differs between capture modes. -
Page 22: White Balance
To change this setting go to Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings 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. -
Page 23: About Overlays
1. Use the slider to set the Priority between Low motion blur and Low noise. When prioritizing low noise (slider all the way to the left) the Axis product will automatically decrease shutter speed as brightness decreases. When the shutter speed reaches 1/30 s the camera product increases gain until the set maximum gain for normal light is reached. - Page 24 An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example a company logo, is first uploaded to the Axis product and then used to provide extra information or to mask a part of the image.

Page 33: Axis Video Motion Detection
AXIS Video Motion Detection is an application that detects moving objects in the camera’s field of view. When a moving object is detected, AXIS Video Motion Detection sends an alarm that can be used by the Axis product or by third-party software to for example, record video or send a notification. - Page 34 Note To add and modify exclude areas, Internet Explorer and AXIS Media Control (AMC) must be used. To add an exclude area, click Add. The default exclude area is a rectangle placed in the center of the image. Use the mouse to move, reshape and resize the area so that it covers the desired part of the image.
- Page 35 • Enabling visual confirmation may introduce video latency. Ignore Filters If AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 detects too many unwanted objects, start by modifying the include and exclude areas. If still too many objects are detected, use one or more of the ignore filters.

Page 38: Events
Events The Event pages allow you to configure the Axis product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an action rule. - Page 39 Recording – Triggers the rule when the Axis product records to the storage device. The recording status trigger can be used to notify the operator, for example by flashing LED lights, if the product has started or stopped to record to the storage device.
