Page 24 M11 Mk II Series Important We recommend you not to use multiple image correction features at the same time, since it can lead to performance issues. Barrel distortion correction (BDC) : Turn on to get a straighter image if it suffers from barrel distortion. Barrel distortion is a lens effect that makes the image appear curved and bent outwards.
Page 25 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. When the scene is more static, Zipstream applies a lower bitrate, and thereby reduces the required storage.

Page 63 M11 Mk II Series Learn more Bitrate control Bitrate control helps you to manage the bandwidth consumption of your video stream. Variable bitrate (VBR) Variable bitrate allows the bandwidth consumption to vary depending on the level of activity in the scene. The more activity, the more bandwidth you need.
