Stream Profiles; Camera Settings - Axis M1054 User Manual

Pixel Counter - The pixel counter is useful in situations where there is a requirement that the image is a certain size, for
example face recognition.
To set the size of the rectangle enter the number of pixels in the Width and Height fields and click Apply. Check Show pixel
counter to enable the box in the image.
MJPEG
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. Defining the frame size as Default provides
consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage during low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage
usage, the maximum frame size can be limited.

Stream Profiles

There are four pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. These settings can be adjusted and new customized
profiles can be created. Each profile has a descriptive name, describing its usage and/or purpose. The profiles can be accessed
from the Live View page.
The Stream Profile List shows all the stream profiles currently configured along with a description and the type of video
encoding.
To add a new stream profile, click Add to bring up the Stream Profile Settings dialog.
•
• Choose a descriptive name and enter a description for your profile.
Choose the form of Video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
•
H.264 - Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This func-
tion offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same
quality video at a lower bit rate.
MPEG-4 part 2 - A video compression standard for digital video.
Motion JPEG - Delivers a high quality video stream, from which individual images can be extracted and saved.
• Copy an existing stream profile to your system and rename the copy.
Modify an existing stream profile based on the light situation and motion to be captured by your camera. See Stream
•
Profile Settings for more information.
Highlight the stream profile you wish to remove, then click Remove to remove it from the list.

Note:
AXIS M1054 does not support MPEG-4.

Camera Settings

This page provides access to the advanced image settings for the AXIS M10 Series.
Image Appearance
Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Sharpness - Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image. A sharper image might increase image noise especially
in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the image would be less sharp.
Contrast - Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.
