Capture modes
Capture mode defines the maximum resolution and maximum frame rate available in the Axis product. The capture mode also affects
light sensitivity. A capture mode with a high maximum frame rate has reduced light sensitivity and vice versa.
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
Overlays are not included in the video stream when using SIP calls.
Note
Image and text overlay will not be displayed on video stream over HDMI.
Note
Image and text overlay will not be displayed on video stream over SDI.
Overlays are superimposed over the video stream. They are used to provide extra information during recordings, such as a timestamp,
or during product installation and configuration. You can add either text or an image.
Streaming and storage
Video compression formats
Decide which compression method to use based on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of your network. The
available options are:
Motion JPEG
Note
To ensure support for the Opus audio codec, the Motion JPEG stream is always sent over RTP.
Motion JPEG, or MJPEG, is a digital video sequence that is made up of a series of individual JPEG images. These images are then
displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion. For the viewer to perceive motion
video the rate must be at least 16 image frames per second. Full motion video is perceived at 30 (NTSC) or 25 (PAL) frames per second.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every image
contained in the stream.
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 older MPEG formats. This means that less network bandwidth and storage space
are required for a video file. Or seen another way, higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.
H.265 or MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC
