Learn more Learn more Capture modes A capture mode is a preset for how the camera captures the scene. In AXIS P3807-PVE there are two different capture modes, 7.5MP camera dewarp and 8.3MP client dewarp. • In 7.5MP camera dewarp, the camera dewarps and stiches the image. This means that you will get a unified image in both the camera’s web interface and the video management system (VMS).

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.

AXIS P3807-PVE Network Camera Learn more Target bitrate Average bitrate (ABR) With average bitrate, the bitrate is automatically adjusted over a longer period of time. This is so you can meet the specified target and provide the best video quality based on your available storage. Bitrate is higher in scenes with a lot of activity, compared to static scenes.
Applications With applications you can get more out of your Axis device. AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is an open platform that makes it possible for third parties to develop analytics and other applications for Axis devices. Applications can be preinstalled on the device, available for download for free, or for a license fee.
