Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Please see the adapter's documentation for more
information.
Reduce number of applications running on the client computer.
Limit the number of simultaneous viewers.
Check with the system administrator that there is enough bandwidth available. See also the
online help.
Check in the AMC control panel applet (H.264 tab) that video processing is set to Decode all
frames possible.
Lower the image resolution.
Decrease the GOV length, see the online help for more information.
Check that you are using the correct power supply.
Contact your Axis dealer.
See the Emergency Recovery Procedure above.
To enable the updating of video images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow
ActiveX controls. Also, make sure that AXIS Media Control (AMC) component is installed on
your workstation.
Configure your encoder to use a Java applet for updating the video images under
Live View Config > Layout > Default Viewer for Internet Explorer. See the online help for more
information.
Check the video image settings. See the online help on Video and Image Settings.
This can occur when trying to use a larger image buffer than is actually available. Try lowering
the frame rate or the upload period.
Configuring pre-buffers, motion detection, high-resolution images, or high frame rates, will
affect the performance of the encoder.
Poor performance may be caused by heavy network traffic, multiple users accessing the unit,
low performance clients, use of features such as Motion Detection, Event handling, Image rota-
tion other than 180 degrees.
In Display Properties, configure your screen to show at least 65000 colors, that is, at least
16-bit. Using only 16 or 256 colors will produce dithering artifacts in the image.
The overlay or privacy mask may have been positioned incorrectly or wrong resolution may have
been used while positioning. Refer to the online help for information on the limitations when
using image overlays and privacy masks.
Lower the image resolution.
There is only limited space available for the upload of your own files. Try deleting existing files
to free up space.
Motion detection is based on changes in luminance in the image. This means that if there are
sudden changes in the lighting, motion detection may be triggered mistakenly. Lower the sensi-
tivity setting to avoid problems with luminance.
Check the sound card in the PC. Ensure that the mute button is not pressed and the volume set-
tings are correct.
Check that the correct Audio Input source is selected under Setup > Video & Audio > Audio
Settings. Select Microphone for a connected external microphone. Select Line for a connected
line in source.
