Page 10: Video Streams
Video Streams The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 provides several different image and video stream formats. The type to use depends 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 11: Mpeg-4 Clients
MPEG-4 clients AXIS Media Control (AMC) The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows. The AMC control panel can be used to configure various video and audio settings. -
Page 12: Configuring The Camera
Configuring the camera This section describes how to configure the camera, and is intended for product Administrators, who have unrestricted access to all the configuration menus; and Operators, who have access to the settings for Video & Image, Audio, Live View Config and Event Configuration. The camera is configured from the Setup link from a browser. -

Page 15: Advanced
AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 Advanced Camera This page contains settings for fine-tuning the video image. Lighting Conditions To compensate for the lighting Conditions, the Color level, Brightness, Sharpness, and the exposure control can be adjusted. Low Light Behavior Exposure priority defines the balance between image quality and the frame rate. Higher image quality may reduce frame rate and increase motion blur. - Page 16 AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 GOV Settings The GOV structure describes the composition of the MPEG-4 video stream. Setting the GOV-length to a high value saves considerably on bandwidth. The Cyclic refresh parameter gives a smoother bit rate and can be useful if bandwidth is limited. Bit Rate Control Limiting the maximum bit rate is a good way of controlling the bandwidth used by the MPEG-4 video stream.

Page 20: Event Config
Event Config Pre-defined parameters, known as an Event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images. An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event, see page 20. - Page 21 How to set up a triggered event This example describes how to set up the camera to upload images when there is movement in the image: 1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page. 2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, such as Movement. 3.

Page 22: Camera Tampering (Axis 209 Fd-R/Fd-R M12)
Camera Tampering (AXIS 209 FD-R/FD-R M12) The camera tampering application, which is currently available only for the AXIS 209 FD-R/FD-R M12, generates an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, sprayed or severely defocused. You must create an event, see How to set up a triggered event, on page 21, for the camera to send an alarm. -
Page 23: Motion Detection
Motion Detection Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured. • Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image •... - Page 24 Tips: • Avoid triggering on small objects in the video image by setting the object size level to high. • To reduce the number of triggers if there is a lot of movement during a short period of time, select a high history level. To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected.

Page 39: General Performance Considerations
General performance considerations When setting 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 will affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate. -
Page 40: Bandwidth
Optimizing your system To see the bandwidth and frame rate currently required by the video stream, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-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. Simply add #r (average frame rate in fps) and/or #b (average bandwidth in kbps) to the overlay. -

Glossary of Terms ActiveX - A standard that enables software components to interact with one another in a networked environment, regardless of the language(s) used to create them. Web browsers may come into contact with ActiveX controls, ActiveX documents, and ActiveX scripts. - Page 42 the other. A firewall can be software running on a computer, or it can be a standalone hardware device. Focal length - Measured in millimeters, the focal length of a camera lens determines the width of the horizontal field of view, which in turn is measured in degrees.
- Page 43 Bit rate. Monitor - A monitor is very similar to a standard television set, but lacks the electronics to pick up regular television signals. Motion JPEG - Motion JPEG is a simple compression/decompression technique for networked video. Latency is low and image quality is guaranteed, regardless of movement or complexity of the image.
- Page 44 Router - A device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded on its way to its final destination. A router creates and/or maintains a special routing table that stores information on how best to reach certain destinations. A router is sometimes included as part of a network switch.
