Recordings: View ongoing and filtered recordings and their source. For more information, see Recordings on page 40 Shows the storage space where the recording is saved.
  • Page 30 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web 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 31 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web 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 32 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web interface Stabilizer margin : Use the slider to adjust the size of the stabilizer margin, which determines the level of vibration to stabilize. If the product is mounted in an environment with a lot of vibration, move the slider towards Max. As a result, a smaller scene is captured.
  • Page 33 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web 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 34 • 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 connect a supporting Axis accessory. Allow illumination: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode.
  • Page 35 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web interface Illumination angle : Use the slider to manually set the illumination angle, for example, if the angle needs to be different from the camera’s angle of view. If the camera has a wide angle of view, you can set the illumination angle to a narrower angle, which equals a greater tele position.
  • Page 36 AXIS P1455-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit The web interface • Center: Uses a fixed area in the center of the image to calculate the exposure. The area has a fixed size and position in the live view. • Full : Uses the entire live view to calculate the exposure.

To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 46 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 47 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.

    Pairing Pairing allows you to use a compatible Axis network speaker or microphone as if it’s part of the camera. Once paired, the network speaker acts as an audio out device where you can play audio clips and transmit sound through the camera. The network microphone will take up sounds from the surrounding area and make it available as an audio input device, usable in media streams and recordings.
