To configure your router to allow incoming data traffic to the Axis product, enable the NAT-traversal
feature which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the Axis
product, see NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 38. The router must support UPnP
Check the Internet firewall with your network administrator.
Check if you need to configure the router settings.
Check that the relevant H.264 connection methods and correct interface are enabled in the AMC
Control Panel (streaming tab). See AXIS Media Control (AMC), on page 12.
In the AMC Control Panel, select the H.264 tab and click Set to default H.264 decoder.
Check that RTSP is enabled under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Check with your network administrator that the multicast addresses used by the Axis product
are valid for your network.
Check with your network administrator to see if there is a firewall preventing viewing.
Check if your router supports multicasting, or if the router settings between the client and the
product need to be configured. The TTL (Time To Live) value may need to be increased.
Color depth set incorrectly on clients. Set to 16–bit or 32–bit color.
If text overlays are blurred, or if there are other rendering problems, you may need to enable
Advanced Video Rendering fromv the Video tab in the AMC Control Panel.
Ensure that your graphics card is using the latest driver. The latest drivers can usually be
downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Refer to the adapter's documentation for more
information.
Reduce the number of applications running on the client computer.
Limit the number of simultaneous viewers.
Check with the network administrator that there is enough bandwidth available.
Check in the AMC Control Panel (H.264 tag) that video processing is NOT set to Decode only
key frames.
Lower the image resolution.
See Performance considerations, on page 52.
Set a Capture Mode that prioritizes frame rate. Changing the capture mode to prioritize frame rate
will lower the maximum resolution. SeeCapture mode, on page 18.
Decrease the GOV length. Go to Video & Audio > Video Stream and select the H.264 tab
to modify the GOV length.
