Maximum frame rate. To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be Limited to a fixed amount. Alternatively, the frame rate can be set as Unlimited, which means the Axis product always delivers the highest frame rate possible under the current conditions.
Image details that are important for forensic video analysis, for example faces and license plates, are preserved with enough number of bits. Axis’ Zipstream Technology for H.264 conforms to the H.264 standard and is compatible with third-party clients and VMS solutions that decode H.264 video.
To change this setting go to Setup > Video > Camera Settings White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light source from the drop-down list.
The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of motion blur and noise in the image. To adapt to different lighting, available storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prioritize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allows using different prioritization in normal light and in low light.

AXIS M1045-LW Network Camera About detectors About detectors About camera tampering Camera Tampering can generate an alarm when the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, spray-painted or severely de-focused. To send an alarm, for example via email, an action rule must be set up.
About detectors Once motion detection windows are configured, the Axis product can be configured to perform actions when motion is detected. Possible actions include uploading images and start recording. For more information, see How to set up action rules on page 40.
Page 33
AXIS M1045-LW Network Camera About detectors Note • To trigger on small objects or movements, use several small motion detection windows rather than one large window, and select a low object size. • To avoid triggering on small objects, select a high object size.

AXIS Video Motion Detection is an application that detects moving objects in the camera’s field of view. When a moving object is detected, AXIS Video Motion Detection sends an alarm that can be used by the Axis product or by third-party software to for example, record video or send a notification.
Note To add and modify exclude areas, Internet Explorer and AXIS Media Control (AMC) must be used. The default exclude area is a rectangle placed in the center of the image. Use the mouse to move, reshape and resize the area so that it covers the desired part of the image.
• Enabling visual confirmation may introduce video latency and affect performance. Ignore Filters If AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 detects too many unwanted objects, start by modifying the include and exclude areas. If too many objects are still detected, use one or more of the ignore filters.
Page 38
AXIS M1045-LW Network Camera AXIS Video Motion Detection Ignore filters are applied to all moving objects found by the application and should be configured with care to ensure that no important objects are ignored. Only use ignore filters if needed and use as few filters as possible. Enable and configure one filter at a time and use visual confirmation to verify the settings before enabling another filter.
Page 39
AXIS M1045-LW Network Camera AXIS Video Motion Detection The filter size can also be set by entering a value between 10 and 50 in the field. The value corresponds to the distance from the center of the cross to one of the arrowheads. The value 50 implies that an object must travel from its initial point to one sixth of the image width or height before being tracked.
AXIS Digital Autotracking starts tracking. For detailed information about the different settings, see the Axis product’s online help or User Manual. 1. Insert an SD card in the Axis product, or go to Setup > System Options > Storage in the Axis product’s webpages and configure the product to use a network share.
AXIS M1045-LW Network Camera About events About events The event pages allow you to configure your product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an action rule.
Recording – Triggers the rule when the Axis product records to the storage device. The recording status trigger can be used to notify the operator, for example by flashing LED lights, if the product has started or stopped to record to the storage device.
HTTPS Send Images Secure (HTTPS). Send Notification Specify login information for the HTTPS server and validate Send Video Clip the server’s certificate. If there is a proxy between the Axis product and the HTTPS server, also specify the proxy settings.
