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:
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
H.265 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 25% compared to H.264.
Note
• H.265 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.265 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed
copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
• Most web browsers don't support H.265 decoding and because of this the camera doesn't support it in its web interface.
Instead you can use a video management system or application supporting H.265 decoding.
External storage device
To be recognized by the video decoder, the first partition of you external storage device must use an exFAT or ext4 file system.

Cybersecurity

Signed firmware
Signed firmware is implemented by the software vendor signing the firmware image with a private key. When a firmware has this
signature attached to it, a device will validate the firmware before accepting to install it. If the device detects that the firmware
integrity is compromised, the firmware upgrade will be rejected.
Secure boot
Secure boot is a boot process that consists of an unbroken chain of cryptographically validated software, starting in immutable
memory (boot ROM). Being based on the use of signed firmware, secure boot ensures that a device can boot only with authorized
firmware.
Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault provides a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that safeguards the Axis device. It offers features to guarantee the
device's identity and integrity and to protect your sensitive information from unauthorized access. It builds on a strong foundation of
cryptographic computing modules (secure element and TPM) and SoC security (TEE and secure boot), combined with expertise in
edge device security.
