Get started Find the device on the network To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support.
AXIS M30 Network Camera Series Get started • Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably created by a password generator. • Don’t expose the password. • Change the password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.

Use corridor format to better utilize the full field of view in a long and narrow area, for example a staircase, hallway, road, or tunnel. 1. Depending on your device, turn the camera or the 3-axis lens in the camera 90° or 270°.
Image with WDR. Note WDR may cause artifacts in the image. Find out more about WDR and how to use it at axis.com/web-articles/wdr. Maximize details in an image Important If you maximize details in an image, the bitrate will probably increase and you might get a reduced frame rate.
AXIS M30 Network Camera Series Additional settings 1. Go to live view and select H.264. 2. Go to Settings > Stream. 3. Do one or more of the following: Turn on the Zipstream functionality and select the desired level. Turn on dynamic GOP and set a high GOP length value.

1. Go to Settings > System > Events and add a rule. 2. Type a name for the rule. 3. In the list of conditions, under Application, select AXIS Video Motion Detection (VMD). 4. In the list of actions, under Recordings, select Record video while the rule is active.
The image shows how the field of view and aspect ratio can change between two different capture modes. 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 at axis.com. Overlays Note Image and text overlay will not be displayed on video stream over HDMI.

H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC Note H.264 is a licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. To install additional unlicensed copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller. H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared to the Motion JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to the MPEG-4 standard.
The counter is embedded in the camera which means you do not need a dedicated computer to run the application. AXIS People Counter is intended for retail environments, like stores or shopping malls, or other environments where you want to...
Using firmware from the active track is recommended if you want to access the newest features, or if you use Axis end-to-end system offerings. The LTS tracks are recommended if you use third-party integrations, which are not continuously validated against the latest active track.

IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been changed by DHCP changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the device on the network. Identify the device using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been configured).
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure affects the bandwidth. • Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance and affects frame rate. • Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may affect the frame rate and the general performance.
