- Page 2 • visit Axis Support at www.axis.com/techsup/ Safety Notice - Battery Replacement The AXIS 223M uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of 5 years. Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up.

It delivers crisp, clear images, disclosing every detail, thanks to its top quality 2.0 Megapixel progressive scan CCD sensor, Megapixel lens and advanced image processing. AXIS 223M features a removable infrared cut filter, which enables color video in high and low light conditions as well as IR sensitive black/white video at night. -
Page 6: Overview
AXIS 223M - Product Features The AXIS 223M offers a comprehensive set of network security and management features. This includes support for port based network control (IEEE802.1X), which allows the camera to be connected to a network secured with this control, and HTTPS encryption, which provides a secure channel between camera and application and enables authentication of the video source. - Page 7 Network connector - The AXIS 223M connects to the network via a standard network cable, and automatically detects the speed of the local network segment (10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet). This socket can also be used to power the AXIS 223M via Power over Ethernet (PoE). The camera also negotiates the correct power level when using PoE.

Page 10: The Live View Page
AXIS 223M - Accessing the Camera Note: The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This opens the iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set with this method it will then be maintained in any light conditions. - Page 11 When in simplex talk mode, the icon toggles between allowing you to speak and is dimmed when you do not want other clients to receive any audio.

Page 12: Video Streams
The Live View page in the AXIS 223M provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page. -

Video/images from the AXIS 223M can also be accessed in the following ways: • If supported by the client, the AXIS 223M can use Motion JPEG server push to display video. This option maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required. - Page 15 To assess the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ the following path can be used: rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp This path is for all supported methods, and the client will negotiate with the AXIS 223M to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.

Page 39: Security - 802.1X
AXIS 223M - System Options Security - 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Admission Control. It provides authentication to devices attached to a network port (wired or wireless), establishing a point-to-point connection. If authentication fails, access is prevented on the port. 802.1x is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). - Page 40 AXIS 223M - System Options The authentication process Q: Certificate OK? A: OK 1. A CA server provides the required signed certificates. 2. The Axis video device requests access to the protected network at the network switch. The switch forwards the video device’s CA certificate to the RADIUS server, which then replies to the switch.

Page 64: General Performance Considerations
To see the bandwidth and frame rate currently required by the video stream, the AXIS 223M 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 65: Frame Rates - Motion Jpeg And Mpeg-4
Frame rates - Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 Typical frame rates in frames/second (fps) for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams from the AXIS 223M, specified with the parameter settings listed below. Note that these values are guidelines only - actual values may vary. - Page 66 AXIS 223M - Technical Specifications There are also factors in the monitored scene that will affect the bandwidth. These are: • amount of motion • image’s complexity • lighting conditions. 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.
