Video and Image settings

The following descriptions show examples of some of the
features available in the AXIS 211M. For details of each
setting, please refer to the online help available from the
setup tools. Click

Image Appearance

Use these settings to change the image as required. The
image can be rotated, the image resolution and
compression can be adjusted, and the white balance can
be changed.
Mirroring is the horizontal flipping of an image, that
gives you another image perspective. This is a useful
function when you need a direct view of the image, for
example, in ATMs and door phones. The mirroring
settings should be defined before you define the parameters for privacy masks and motion detection.
Resolution includes wide screen 16:9, partial which stands for partial scan where an image is taken from the
center region of the sensor for optimal frame rate in Motion JPEG/MPEG-4 and full speed which is a partial
scan that has been scaled down to give full frame rate in Motion JPEG.
The configuration of the video image will affect the camera's overall performance, depending on how it is used
and on the available bandwidth. Setting higher resolution and lower compression improves video image quality,
but increases the amount of bandwidth used.
Please see the online help
Text Overlay Settings
Use these settings to include text and date
and time overlays.
These overlays are included on one line, at
the top or bottom of the video image.
Video Stream
Define the maximum video stream time
per session in seconds, minutes or hours.
When the set time has expired, a new
stream can be started by refreshing the
page in the browser. For unlimited video
stream time, select the Unlimited radio
button. Note that the maximum video
stream time does not apply to clients
connecting via multicast.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems on the network. To
allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio button.
For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click Save. Please note
that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and
MPEG-4.
Please refer to the online help for more information.
