  • Page 22 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface Electronic image stabilization (EIS) : Turn on to get a smoother and steadier image with less blur. We recommend you to use EIS in environments where the device is mounted in an exposed location and subject to vibrations due to, for example, wind or passing traffic.
  • Page 23 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface Contrast: Use the slider to adjust the difference between light and dark. Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image capture, and doesn’t affect the information in the image.
  • Page 24 • Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later. IR light If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis accessory.
  • Page 25 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface Allow illumination: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode. Synchronize illumination: Turn on to automatically synchronize the illumination with the surrounding light. The synchronization between day and night only works if the IR-cut filter is set to Auto or Off.
  • Page 26 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface Note The exposure zones are related to the original image (un-rotated), and the names of the zones apply to the original image. This means, for example, that if the video stream is rotated 90°, then the Upper zone becomes the Right zone in the stream, and Left becomes Lower.
  • Page 27 Zipstream: A bitrate reduction technology, optimized for video surveillance, that reduces the average bitrate in an H.264 or H.265 stream in real time. Axis Zipstream applies a high bitrate in scenes where there are multiple regions of interest, for example in scenes with moving objects.
  • Page 28 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface • Baseline : Use if the video management client doesn’t support CABAC entropy coding. • Main: Use if the video management client supports CABAC entropy coding, to achieve higher compression with maintained video quality. It requires more processing power to decode compared to the baseline profile.

  • Page 33 One-click cloud connection One-click cloud connection (O3C) together with an O3C service provides easy and secure internet access to live and recorded video from any location. For more information, see axis.com/end-to-end-solutions/hosted-services. Allow O3C: • One-click: The default setting. Press and hold the control button on the device to connect to an O3C service over the internet.
  • Page 34 Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails. Note All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see AXIS OS Portal > SNMP. • v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 35 When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to. When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
  • Page 36 To install test firmware or other custom firmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed firmware certificate. The certificate verifies that the firmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The firmware can only run on a specific device which is identified by its unique serial number and chip ID.

  • Page 42 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface Use NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal when the device is located on an private network (LAN) and you want to make it available from outside of that network. Note For NAT traversal to work, the router must support it. The router must also support UPnP®.
  • Page 43 AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series The device interface • Domain: If available, enter the public domain name. It will be shown as part of the SIP address when calling other accounts. • Password: Enter the password associated with the SIP account for authenticating against the SIP server.
  • Page 44 DNS. Windows SMB/CIFS names are not supported. • Network share: Enter the name of the shared location on the host server. Several Axis devices can use the same network share, since each device gets its own folder.
  • Page 45 Delete user: Delete the user. You can’t delete the root user. By creating an ONVIF user, you automatically enable ONVIF communication. Use the username and password for all ONVIF communication with the device. For more information see the Axis Developer Community at axis.com. ONVIF media profiles An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that you can use to change media stream settings.

  • Page 49: Capture Modes

    A capture mode is a preset configuration that defines how the camera will capture images. The selected mode can affect the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. If using a capture mode with a lower resolution than the maximum, the field of view might be reduced.

    AXIS P3245 Network Camera Series Learn more When you set up a view area, we recommend you to set the video stream resolution to the same size as or smaller than the view area size. If you set the video stream resolution larger than the view area size it implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture, which requires more bandwidth without adding image information.
  • Page 51 Learn more 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 older MPEG formats.
