    See the product’s datasheet for lens alternatives. 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.
  • Page 5: Webpage Overview

    Secure passwords Important Axis devices send the initially set password in clear text over the network. To protect your device after the first login, set up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection and then change the password. The device password is the primary protection for your data and services. Axis devices do not impose a password policy as they may be used in various types of installations.

The file is saved in the ‘Downloads’ folder on your computer. The image file name is [snapshot_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.jpg].
  • Page 20 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera The device interface • Refresh: Click to refresh the still image in the live view. Click to show the live view at full resolution. If the full resolution is larger than your screen size, use the smaller image to navigate in the image.
  • Page 21 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera The device interface Straighten image : Turn on and use the slider to straighten the image horizontally by rotating and cropping it digitally. The functionality is useful when it’s not possible to mount the camera exactly level. Ideally, straighten the image during installation.
  • Page 22 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera The device interface 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. To get more details from a dark area, it’s usually better to increase gain or exposure time.
  • Page 23 • 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 24 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera The device interface 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. Automatic illumination angle : Turn on to use the automatic illumination angle.
  • Page 25 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera 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 26 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 27 AXIS P3935-LR Network Camera 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.
