Video and Image settings

The following descriptions show
examples of some of the features
available in the AXIS 211W. For
details of each setting, please refer
to the online help available from
your web interface. Click to

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.
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.
Refer to the online help for further information on these settings.
Mirroring
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.
Text Overlay Settings
Overlay image
Use these settings to include text and date and time overlays.
Text, date and time overlay
These overlays appear 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.
