AXIS P3915-R Mk II Network Camera
Video and Audio
Always verify that the video stream meets the quality requirements for your surveillance purposes after changing the video stream
settings.
About MJPEG settings
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may result in poor image quality.
About stream profiles
A stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream
profiles can be used:
•
When setting up recording using action rules. See Events on page 32.
•
When setting up continuous recording. See About continuous recording on page 38.
•
In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.
To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Stream Profiles.
To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.
About ONVIF media profiles
An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that can be used to change media stream settings. ONVIF media profiles
can be used by a client to configure media stream properties.
The ONVIF Media Profiles page lists all preconfigured profiles. These profiles are included in the product for quick setup. You can
add, modify or remove ONVIF media profiles from this page.
About camera settings
The Video & Audio > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
About image appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings.
Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 produces maximum color saturation and the value 0
results in a black and white image.
The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light
conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.
The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
About 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. For a description of each available setting, see the online help
