H.264

H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bit rates.

An H.264 video stream consists of different types of frames such as I-frames and P-frames. An I-fram e is a complete image whereas

P-frames only contain the differences from previous f ram e s .

The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOV length may save considerably on

bandwidth requirements in some cases, but may als o have an adverse affe ct on imag e quality.

The Axis product supports two H.264 proﬁles.TheMainproﬁ le provides highe r compression than the Baseline pr oﬁle with the same

video quality, bu t requires m or e processing power to decod e.

ThebitratecanbesetasVariable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image

complexity, using up more bandwidth for increased activity in the i

mage, a nd less for lower image activity. CBR allows you to set a

ﬁxed Target bit rate that consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased

image activity, but in this case cannot, frame rate and image qualityareaffectednegatively. Topartly compensate for this, it is

possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. N

ot setting a priority means that frame rate and image quality are equally

affected. Yo u must save yo u r settings before t h ey can take effect.

The current bit rate can be set to appear as text overlay. To do this, select the Include text check box option under Overlay

Settings and enter the modiﬁer #b in the ﬁeld.

MJPEG

Sometimes the image size is

large due to low light or complex s cenery. Ad justing the maximum frame size helps to control the

bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting

provides consistently good im age quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame

size optimizes b

andwidth and storage usag e, but may give poor im age quality. To prevent i ncreased bandwidth and storage usage,

the maximum frame size should be set to an optim a l value.

Stream Proﬁ les

Astreamproﬁle is a set of pre-conﬁgured stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and o ve rlay settings.

Stream pro ﬁles can b e used:

• When setting up recording using action rules, see

Events on page 29

• When setting up a continuous recording, see

Continuous Recording on page 32

• In the Live View page — select the stream proﬁle fro m the Stream proﬁle drop-down list.

Video

Four pre-programmed stream proﬁles are availab le for quick se t up. Each pre-programm e d proﬁle has a d es criptive name, indicating

its purpose. If required, the pre-programmed stream proﬁles can b e modiﬁed and new customized stream pro ﬁles can be created .

To create a new proﬁle or modify an existing proﬁle, go t o Setup > Video > Stream Proﬁles.

To select a d e fa u lt stream proﬁle for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Conﬁg.

Camera Settings

The Video > Camera Settings page provides access to ad vanced image settings for the Axis product.

Capture Mode

Capture mode deﬁnes the maximum resolution and m aximum frame rate available in the Axis product. A capture mode with a large

maximum resolution has a reduced maximum frame rate and vice versa.

The cap ture mode setting also aff ects the camera’s angle of view as the effe ctive size of the image sensor differs between capture

modes. If using a capture mode w ith a smaller maximum resolution, the angle of view is reduced.

Capture mode is set the ﬁrst time the product is accessed . Select the desired capture mode and click OK.

Changing capture mode when the product has been conﬁgured is not recommended as most other settings will be either removed

or reset, for example:

1. Go to Setup > Video > Camera Settings.

2. Select the new capture mode.

3. Click Save.

4. Review and reconﬁgure all se ttings , for example:

-Streamproﬁles

- PTZ settings including preset positions and guard tours

- Motion detection windows

-Privacymasks

- Image overlays

- Exposure zones

- White balance windows

-Actionrules

- Settings in u p loaded applications

Image Appeara nce

Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation . The value 0 gives a

black and white image.

The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.

Increasing the Sharpness can increa se bandwidth usage. A sharper im age might incre ase image noise especially in low light

conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp.

The Contrast changes the re lati ve differe nce betwee n light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.

AXIS M3006–V Network Camera

White Balance

White balance is used to make colors in the image a ppe ar 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 f rom the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help

The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down

list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the

default settings for the Autom atic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually

set a re ference window for w h ite balance in the view area.

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide dynamic range (Dynamic Contrast) c an improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark

areas in the image. Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal e xp osure .

Note

This setting is only pos sib le when using autom atic exposure control.

Exposure Settings

Conﬁgure the exposure s ettings to suit the image q uality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth

considerations.

Exposure value - Click in the bar to ﬁne-tune the exposure.

Exposure control - These settings is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default settings can be used in m ost

situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove

ﬂicker which can be caused by ﬂuorescent and other l ight sources. The H old current option l ocks the current exposure settings.

Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this op tion if a bright spot of light, for example a ligh

t bulb, causes other areas in

the image to appear too dark.

Exposure zones - This settings determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto

setting can be used. For particular requirement, select a predeﬁned area.

Shutter & Gain

The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of mot

ion blur a nd nois e in the image. To adapt to different lighting, av aila ble

storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prior itize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allow s

using differe nt prioritization in normal light and in l ow light.

Shutter speed is related to the amount of time the shutter is opened and is measured in seconds (s). A slow shutter speed allows

more light to reach the sensor and can help

produce a brighter image in low light situations. On the other hand, a slow shutter

speedcancausemovingobjects to appear blurry.

Set Shutter to

• Auto to set the shutter speed automatically. If required, use Max shutter to limit the shutter speed to prevent the frame

rate from being reduced. For example, to get 30 fps, set Max shutter to 1/30.

• Fixed to use a ﬁxed shutter speed.

Gain, m easured in decibel (dB), is the amount of ampliﬁcation applie d to the image. A high gain may provide a better image in low

light si

tuations but will increase the amount of image nois e.

Set

Gain to

• Auto to set the gain automatically. If required, use Max gain to limit the applied gain.

• Fixed to use a ﬁxed gain.

AXIS M3006–V Network Camera

Video

When Shutter and Gain are both set to Auto, it is possible to set the Priority betw een low motion blur and low noise manually and to

use a diff erent Priority in Normal Light and in Low Light.

Example

Consider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night. To be able to,

for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light prior ity slider toward low motion blur. At nighttim e, motion

detection is more important than identiﬁcation. Motion blur is a cceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, mo ve

the low light priority slider toward low noise.

Example

If storage space or bandw idth is limite d, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noi se and produce smaller image ﬁle s.

View Areas

A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video sourc e in Live View and has its own video

stream and PTZ settings.

To enable view areas, go to Video > Camera Settings and select Ena b le View Area s.

When setting up a view area it is re com m e nde d that the video stream re solution is the same size as or s m a ller than the vie w area

size. Setting the v ide o stream r es olution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after se nsor capture,

requiring more bandwidth without a dding image information.

To a dd a new view area:

1. Go to Video > View Areas.

2. Click Add.

3. The new view area appears under Selected view area. Enter a descriptive name in the Name ﬁeld.

4. Select an Aspect ratio and a Video stream resolution.

5. A new view area covers the whole image. Usethemousetomoveandresizetheviewarea.

6. Select Enable PTZ to enable digital PTZ for this view area.

7. Select the action. To send an email, select Send Notiﬁcation a

nd select a Recipient from the list of d e ﬁned recipients.

Note

The While the rule is active option under Duration cannot be used w ith camera tampering, since camera tampering does not

have a duration and once it has been t riggered it will not automatically re turn to its untriggere d state.

For more information on actions rules, see

Events on page 29

Motion Detection

Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement starts or stops in the camera view.

Motion detection i s conﬁgured by deﬁning up to 10 Include and Exclude windows:

IEEE 802.1X

IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control p roviding secure authentication of wired and wireless network

devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a

third-party entity called an authe nti cation s e rver , typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft

Internet Authentication Service.

In Axis' im plementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital

certiﬁcates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certiﬁcates are provided by an

Certiﬁcation Authority (CA). You need:

•aCAcertiﬁca te to validate the identity of the authentication server

• a CA -signed c lie nt certiﬁca te and a private key to authenticate the network device.

To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

1. Obtain a CA certiﬁcate, a client certiﬁcate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).

2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certiﬁ cate, the client certiﬁcate and the

client private key.

3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.

4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.

System Op tion s

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router all ows devices on a private netw ork (LAN) to share a single connection to the Interne t. This is done by forwarding

network trafﬁc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased

since most routers are pre-conﬁgured to stop attempts to access the private netw ork (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it a va ila ble from the other

(WAN) side of a NAT ro u te r. With NAT trave rs al prope rly c onﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NA T router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

NAT traversal is con ﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

• For NAT traversal to work, this m us t be sup porte d by the router. The router must also support UPnP

• The router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network ro uter”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broa dband router ”, “Broadband

sharing device” or “Home ﬁ rewall” but the essential purp ose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - W hen enabled, the Axis product attempts to conﬁgure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP

Note that UPnP

must be enabled in the product (see System Options > Network > UPnP).

Use m a nua lly selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a N AT router and enter the IP address for the router in

the ﬁeld. If no router is speciﬁed, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on yo ur network. If more than one router is

found, the d efault router is selected.

Alternative HTTP port - Select this op tion to manually de ﬁne an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the ﬁeld. If no port is

entered here, a port numbe r is automat ically sele cte d when NA T trave rs al is enable d.

Note

• An alternative H TTP port can be used or be active even if NA T traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does

not support UPnP and you need to manually con ﬁgure p ort forwarding in the NAT router.

• If you attem pt to m anual ly enter a port that is already in use , another a vailable port is automatically selected.

• When the port is selected automatically it is displaye d in this ﬁeld. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.

FTP

The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload o f new ﬁrmware, user applications, etc . The FTP server can be disabled

under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

This FTP server has nothing to do w ith the product’s ability to trans fe r images via FTP to othe r l ocations and servers .

RTSP

The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be

changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.

Note

H.264 video streams will not be a va ilable if the RTSP server is disabled.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be conﬁgured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other

side of a ﬁrewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a lo cal network behind a ﬁrewall, and

notiﬁcations, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local netw ork (for example the Internet).

SOCKS is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help

System Op tion s

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a speciﬁed resource to selected trafﬁc on a network. A QoS-aware network

prioritizes netw o rk trafﬁc a nd provides a gre ate r network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application m ay use.

The QoS settings are conﬁgured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the

Axis product can mark the fo llow ing types of trafﬁc: live v ide o, event/alarm trafﬁc and management trafﬁc.

SMTP (email)

To send email messages from the Axis pro d uct via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This

is done under System O ptions > Network > SMTP (email).

Enter the host names or IP ad dresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the ﬁelds provided. A From

email address is also required . If the mail server re quires authentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter

the ne ces sa ry information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Manag ement Protocol (SNMP) allows remote manag ement of network devices. An SNM P community is the

group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.

The Axis product can be conﬁgured to support SNMP on the System Options > Network > SNMP page.

Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.

SNMP v1/v2 provides the lowest level of security. The community name can be speciﬁed as a password for read or read/write

access to all supported SNMP devices. The default passw ord for the Read community is public and the default passw ord for the

Write community is write.

Note

If HTTPS is enabled, SNM P v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.

Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used by the Axis product to send message s to a manageme nt sy

stem on im porta nt events and status

changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap m essage should be sent and the Trap community that

should receive the message.

The follow ing traps are available:

•Coldstart

•Warmstart

•Linkup

• Authentication failed

SNMP v3 provid es encryption and secure passw ords. To use traps with SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.

To use SNMP v3, HTTPS must be enabled, see

HTTPS on page 34

. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user

password.

Note

The initial password can only be set once. If the p assword is lost, the Axis product must be reset to factory default, see
