    Shows what kinds of access to the device that are active, and what encryption protocols are in use. Recommendations to the settings are based on the AXIS OS Hardening Guide. Hardening guide: Click to go to AXIS OS Hardening guide where you can learn more about how to apply cybersecurity best practices.
  • Page 19 AXIS XFQ1656 The device interface Adds or removes a focus recall area. When you add a focus recall area, the camera saves the focus settings at that specific pan/tilt range. When you have set a focus recall area and the camera enters that area in the live view, the camera recalls the previously saved focus.
  • Page 20 AXIS XFQ1656 The device interface Installation Capture mode : A capture mode is a preset configuration that defines how the camera captures images. When you change the capture mode, it can affect many other settings, such as view areas and privacy masks.
  • Page 21 AXIS XFQ1656 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 XFQ1656 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 XFQ1656 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 XFQ1656 The device interface Note The exposure zones are related to the original image (unrotated), 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 is 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 XFQ1656 The device interface Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures): Turn on to dynamically adjust the interval between I-frames based on the level of activity in the scene. Upper limit: Enter a maximum GOP length, that is, the maximum number of P-frames between two I-frames. An I-frame is a self-contained image frame that is independent of other frames.

  • 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.
