About capture modes

A capture mode consists of a resolution and the corresponding frame rate available in the product. The capture mode setting
affects the camera's field of view and aspect ratio.
The lower resolution capture mode is cropped out from the highest resolution.
The image shows how the field of view and aspect ratio can change between two different capture modes.
Select capture mode
Which capture mode to choose depends on the requirements of frame rate and resolution for the specific surveillance setup. For
specifications about available capture modes, see the product's datasheet. To find the latest version of the datasheet, go to axis.com
