AXIS 216FD - Configuration Video & Image settings Image Appearance Use these settings to change the image as required. The image can be rotated, the image resolution and compression can be adjusted, and the white balance can be changed. The configuration of the video image will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. - Page 19 AXIS 216FD - Configuration Text Overlay Settings Use these settings to include a text, date and time overlay. Text, date and The text, date and time overlay is time overlay included on one line at the top or bottom of the video image.
- Page 20 AXIS 216FD - Configuration Low Light Behavior Exposure priority defines the balance between image quality and the frame rate. Higher image quality may reduce frame rate and increase motion blur. A prioritized frame rate may instead increased image noise. Depending on requirements, use this to give higher priority to the image quality or to the frame rate.

1 viewer. IP Address Filtering Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the AXIS 216FD. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list will be allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses. - Page 34 Clients and servers in an 802.1x network may need to authenticate each other by some means. In the Axis implementation this is done with the help of digital certificates provided by a Certification Authority. These are then validated by a third-party entity, such as a RADIUS server, examples of which are Free Radius and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.
- Page 35 AXIS 216FD - System Options The AXIS network video device presents its certificate to the network switch, which in turn forwards this to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server validates or rejects the certificate and responds to the switch, and sends its own certificate to the client for validation. The switch then allows or denies network access accordingly, on a preconfigured port.
