Camera mounting recommendations
• When you select the mounting location, remember that direct sunlight can distort the image, for example, during sunrise
and sunset.
• The mounting height for a camera in a Access control scenario should be half of the distance of that between the
vehicle and the camera.
• The mounting height for camera in a Free ow (slow trafc license plate recognition) scenario should be less than half of
the distance of that between the vehicle and the camera.
Access control capture distance: 2–7 m (6.6–23 ft). This example is based on the AXIS P3265–LVE-3 License Plate Verier kit.
Capture distance: (x) Mounting height (y)
2.0 m (6.6 ft) 1.0 m (3.3 ft)

Installation
Capture mode : A capture mode is a preset conguration that denes how the camera captures images. When you change
the capture mode, it can affect many other settings, such as view areas and privacy masks.
Mounting position
: The orientation of the image can change depending on how the camera is mounted.
Power line frequency: Select the frequency that is used in your region to minimize image icker. The American regions
usually use 60 Hz. The rest of the world mostly uses 50 Hz. If you're not sure of your region's power line frequency, check
with the local authorities.
Rotate: Select the preferred image orientation.
Zoom: Use the slider to adjust the zoom level.
Autofocus area: Click

Image correction
Important
We recommend you not to use multiple image correction features at the same time, since it can lead to performance issues.
Barrel distortion correction (BDC)
: Turn on to get a straighter image if it suffers from barrel distortion. Barrel distortion
is a lens effect that makes the image appear curved and bent outwards. The condition is seen more clearly when the image is
zoomed out.
Crop : Use the slider to adjust the correction level. A lower level means that the image width is kept at the expense of
image height and resolution. A higher level means that image height and resolution are kept at the expense of image width.
38
AXIS P1465-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit
The device interface
Remove distortion : Use the slider to adjust the correction level. Pucker means that the image width is kept at the expense
of image height and resolution. Bloat means that image height and resolution are kept at the expense of image width.
Electronic image stabilization (EIS)
: Turn on to get a smoother and steadier image with less blur. We recommend you
to use EIS in environments where the device is mounted in an exposed location and subject to vibrations due to, for example,
wind or passing trafc.
Focal length
: Use the slider to adjust the focal length. A higher value leads to higher magnication and a narrower angle
of view, while a lower value leads to a lower magnication and a wider angle of view.
Stabilizer margin
: Use the slider to adjust the size of the stabilizer margin, which determines the level of vibration to
stabilize. If the product is mounted in an environment with a lot of vibration, move the slider towards Max. As a result, a smaller
scene is captured. If the environment has less vibration, move the slider towards Min.
Straighten image
: Turn on and use the slider to straighten the image horizontally by rotating and cropping it digitally. The
functionality is useful when it’s not possible to mount the camera exactly level. Ideally, straighten the image during installation.
: Click to show a supporting grid in the image.
: Click to hide the grid.

Contrast: Use the slider to adjust the difference between light and dark.
Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image
capture, and doesn’t affect the information in the image. To get more details from a dark area, it’s usually better to increase
gain or exposure time.
Sharpness: Use the slider to make objects in the image appear sharper by adjusting the edge contrast. If you increase the
sharpness, it may increase the bitrate and the amount of storage space needed as well.

WDR : Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible.
Local contrast : Use the slider to adjust the contrast of the image. A higher value makes the contrast higher between
dark and light areas.
Tone mapping
: Use the slider to adjust the amount of tone mapping that is applied to the image. If the value is set to
zero only the standard gamma correction is applied, while a higher value increases the visibility of the darkest and brightest
parts in the image.
White balance
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more
natural. If this is not sufcient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color icker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is rst started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type
of light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the
automatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a xed white balance setting that matches
the light source you want to use as a reference.
Light environment:
• Automatic: Automatic identication and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended setting
which can be used in most situations.
• Automatic – outdoors
: Automatic identication and compensation for the light source color. This is the
recommended setting which can be used in most outdoor situations.
• Custom – indoors
: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some articial light other than uorescent lighting

The device interface
IR-cut lter:
• Auto: Select to automatically turn on and off the IR-cut lter. When the camera is in day mode, the IR-cut lter
is turned on and blocks incoming infrared light, and when in night mode, the IR-cut lter is turned off and the
camera’s light sensitivity increases.
• On: Select to turn on the IR-cut lter. The image is in color, but with reduced light sensitivity.
• Off: Select to turn off the IR-cut lter. The image is in black and white for increased light sensitivity.
Threshold: Use the slider to adjust the light threshold where the camera changes from day mode to night mode.
• Move the slider towards Bright to decrease the threshold for the IR-cut lter. The camera changes to night mode
earlier.
• Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut lter. The camera changes to night mode later.
IR light
If your device doesn’t have built-in illumination, these controls are only available when you have connected a supporting Axis
accessory.
Allow illumination: Turn on to let the camera use the built-in light in night mode.
Synchronize illumination: Turn on to automatically synchronize the illumination with the surrounding light. The synchronization
between day and night only works if the IR-cut lter is set to Auto or Off.
Automatic illumination angle
: Turn on to use the automatic illumination angle.
Illumination angle : Use the slider to manually set the illumination angle, for example if the angle needs to be different
from the camera’s angle of view. If the camera has a wide angle of view, you can set the illumination angle to a narrower angle,
which equals a greater tele position. This will result in dark corners in the image.
IR wavelength
: Select the desired wavelength for the IR light.
White light
Allow illumination : Turn on to let the camera use white light in night mode.
Synchronize illumination
: Turn on to automatically synchronize the white light with the surrounding light.
Exposure
Exposure mode: Select an exposure mode to reduce rapidly changing irregular effects in the image, for example icker produced
by different types of light sources. We recommend you to use the automatic exposure mode, or the same frequency as your
power network.
• Automatic: The camera adjusts the aperture, gain and shutter automatically.
• Automatic aperture
: The camera adjusts the aperture and gain automatically. The shutter is xed.
• Automatic shutter
: The camera adjusts the shutter and gain automatically. The aperture is xed.
• Hold current: Locks the current exposure settings.
• Flicker-free
: The camera adjusts the aperture and gain automatically, and uses only the following shutter
speeds: 1/50 s (50 Hz) and 1/60 s (60 Hz).
• Flicker-free 50 Hz
: The camera adjusts the aperture and gain automatically, and uses the shutter speed 1/50 s.
42
AXIS P1465-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit
The device interface
• Flicker-free 60 Hz : The camera adjusts the aperture and gain automatically, and uses the shutter speed 1/60 s.
• Flicker-reduced
: This is the same as icker-free, but the camera might use shutter speeds faster than
1/100 s (50 Hz) and 1/120 s (60 Hz) for brighter scenes.
• Flicker-reduced 50 Hz
: This is the same as icker-free, but the camera might use shutter speeds faster
than 1/100 s for brighter scenes.
• Flicker-reduced 60 Hz
: This is the same as icker-free, but the camera might use shutter speeds faster
than 1/120 s for brighter scenes.
• Manual
: The aperture, gain and shutter are xed.
Exposure zone: Use exposure zones to optimize the exposure in a selected part of the scene, for example, the area in front
of an entrance door.
Note
The exposure zones are related to the original image (unrotated), and the names of the zones apply to the original image.
This means, for example, that if the video stream is rotated 90°, then the Upper zone becomes the Right zone in the
stream, and Left becomes Lower.
• Automatic: Suitable for most situations.
• Center: Uses a xed area in the center of the image to calculate the exposure. The area has a xed size and
position in the live view.
• Full
: Uses the entire live view to calculate the exposure.
• Upper
: Uses an area with a xed size and position in the upper part of the image to calculate the exposure.
• Lower
: Uses an area with a xed size and position in the lower part of the image to calculate the exposure.
• Left
: Uses an area with a xed size and position in the left part of the image to calculate the exposure.
• Right
: Uses an area with a xed size and position in the right part of the image to calculate the exposure.
• Spot: Uses an area with a xed size and position in the live view to calculate the exposure.
• Custom: Uses an area in the live view to calculate the exposure. You can adjust the size and position of the area.
Max shutter: Select the shutter speed to provide the best image. Low shutter speeds (longer exposure) might cause motion blur
when there is movement, and a too high shutter speed might affect the image quality. Max shutter works with max gain to
improve the image.
Max gain: Select the suitable max gain. If you increase the max gain, it improves the visible level of detail in dark images, but
also increases the noise level. More noise can also result in increased use of bandwidth and storage. If you set the max gain
to a high value, images can differ a lot if the light conditions are very different from day to night. Max gain works with max
shutter to improve the image.
Motion-adaptive exposure
: Select to reduce motion blur in low-light conditions.
Blur-noise trade-off: Use the slider to adjust the priority between motion blur and noise. If you want to prioritize low bandwidth
and have less noise at the expense of details in moving objects, move the slider towards Low noise. If you want to prioritize the
preservation of details in moving objects at the expense of noise and bandwidth, move the slider towards Low motion blur.
Note
You can change the exposure either by adjusting the exposure time or by adjusting the gain. If you increase the exposure
time, it results in more motion blur, and if you increase the gain it results in more noise. If you adjust the Blur-noise
trade-off towards Low noise, the automatic exposure will prioritize longer exposure times over increasing gain, and the
opposite if you adjust the trade-off towards Low motion blur. Both the gain and exposure time will eventually reach
their maximum values in low-light conditions, regardless of the priority set.

The device interface
Lock aperture : Turn on to keep the aperture size set by the Aperture slider. Turn off to allow the camera to automatically
adjust the aperture size. You can, for example, lock the aperture for scenes with permanent light conditions.
Aperture
: Use the slider to adjust the aperture size, that is, how much light passes through the lens. To allow more light
to enter the sensor and thereby produce a brighter image in low-light conditions, move the slider towards Open. An open aperture
also reduces the depth of eld, which means that objects close to or far from the camera can appear unfocused. To allow more of
the image to be in focus, move the slider towards Closed.
Exposure level: Use the slider to adjust the image exposure.
Defog
: Turn on to detect the effects of foggy weather and automatically remove them for a clearer image.
Note
We recommend you not to turn on Defog in scenes with low contrast, large light level variations, or when the autofocus is
slightly off. This can affect the image quality, for example, by increasing the contrast. Furthermore, too much light can
negatively impact the image quality when defog is active.
Optics
Temperature compensation: Turn on if you want the focus position to be corrected based on the temperature in the optics.
IR compensation : Turn on if you want the focus position to be corrected when IR-cut lter is off and when there is IR light.
Calibrate zoom and focus: Click to reset the optics and the zoom and focus settings to the factory default position. You need to
do this if the optics have lost calibration during transport, or if the device has been exposed to extreme vibrations.
Stream
General
Resolution: Select the image resolution suitable for the surveillance scene. A higher resolution increases bandwidth and storage.
Frame rate: To avoid bandwidth problems on the network or reduce storage size, you can limit the frame rate to a xed amount.
If you leave the frame rate at zero, the frame rate is kept at the highest possible rate under the current conditions. A higher
frame rate requires more bandwidth and storage capacity.
Compression: Use the slider to adjust the image compression. High compression results in a lower bitrate and lower image quality.
Low compression improves the image quality, but uses more bandwidth and storage when you record.
Signed video
: Turn on to add the signed video feature to the video. Signed video protects the video from tampering by
adding cryptographic signatures to the video.
H.26x encoding
44
AXIS P1465-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit
The device interface
Zipstream: A bitrate reduction technology, optimized for video surveillance, that reduces the average bitrate in an H.264 or H.265
stream in real time. Axis Zipstream applies a high bitrate in scenes where there are multiple regions of interest, for example in
scenes with moving objects. When the scene is more static, Zipstream applies a lower bitrate, and thereby reduces the required
storage. To learn more, see Reducing the bit rate with Axis Zipstream
Select the desired level of bitrate reduction:
• Off: No bitrate reduction.
• Low: No visible quality degradation in most scenes. This is the default option and it can be used in all types
of scenes to reduce the bitrate.
• Medium: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a slightly lower level of detail in regions of lower
interest, for example where there’s no movement.
• High: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a lower level of detail in regions of lower interest,
for example where there’s no movement. We recommend this level for cloud-connected devices and devices that
use local storage.
• Higher: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a lower level of detail in regions of lower interest,
for example where there’s no movement.
• Extreme: Visible effects in most scenes. The bitrate is optimized for smallest possible storage.
Optimize for storage: Optimize settings for storing the stream by minimizing the bitrate while maintaining quality. The
optimization is not applied to the stream shown in the web client. Turning on Optimize for storage also turns on Dynamic GOP.
Dynamic FPS (frames per second): Turn on to allow the bandwidth to vary based on the level of activity in the scene. More
activity requires more bandwidth.
Lower limit
: Enter a value to adjust the frame rate between minimal fps and the stream default fps based on scene
motion. We recommend you to use lower limit in scenes with very little motion, where the fps could drop to 1 or lower.
Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures): Turn on to dynamically adjust the interval between I-frames based on the level of activity
in the scene.
Upper limit
: Enter a maximum GOP length, that is, the maximum number of P-frames between two I-frames. An I-frame
is a self-contained image frame that is independent of other frames.
P-frames: A P-frame is a predicted image that shows only the changes in the image from the previous frame. Enter the desired
number of P-frames. The higher the number, the less bandwidth is required. However, if there are network congestion, there could
be a noticeable deterioration in the video quality.
Bitrate control:
• Average: Select to automatically adjust the bitrate over a longer time period and provide the best possible image
quality based on the available storage.

- Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails.
Note
All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see
AXIS OS Portal > SNMP.
• v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we
recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS. This also prevents unauthorized
parties to access unencrypted SNMP v1 and v2c traps. If you use SNMP v3, you can set up traps through the SNMP v3
management application.
- Password for the account “initial”: Enter the SNMP password for the account named “initial”. Although the
password can be sent without activating HTTPS, we don’t recommend it. The SNMP v3 password can only
be set once, and preferably only when HTTPS is enabled. Once the password is set, the password eld is no
longer displayed. To set the password again, you must reset the device to factory default settings.
Security
Certicates
Certicates are used to authenticate devices on a network. The device supports two types of certicates:
• Client/server certicates
A client/server certicate validates the device’s identity, and can be self-signed or issued by a Certicate Authority (CA).
A self-signed certicate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certicate has been obtained.
• CA certicates
You can use a CA certicate to authenticate a peer certicate, for example to validate the identity of an authentication
server when the device connects to a network protected by IEEE 802.1X. The device has several pre-installed CA
certicates.
These formats are supported:
• Certicate formats: .PEM, .CER, and .PFX
• Private key formats: PKCS#1 and PKCS#12
Important
If you reset the device to factory default, all certicates are deleted. Any pre-installed CA certicates are reinstalled.

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based network admission control providing 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, network devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by
an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server (for example FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Server).
Certicates
When congured without a CA certicate, server certicate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself
regardless of what network it is connected to.
When using a certicate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital
certicates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
To allow the device to access a network protected through certicates, a signed client certicate must be installed on the device.
Client certicate: Select a client certicate to use IEEE 802.1x. The authentication server uses the certicate to validate the
client’s identity.
CA certicate: Select a CA certicate to validate the authentication server’s identity. When no certicate is selected, the device
tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to.
EAP identity: Enter the user identity associated with the client certicate.
EAPOL version: Select the EAPOL version that is used in the network switch.
Use IEEE 802.1x: Select to use the IEEE 802.1x protocol.
Prevent brute-force attacks
Blocking: Turn on to block brute-force attacks. A brute-force attack uses trial-and-error to guess login info or encryption keys.
Blocking period: Enter the number of seconds to block a brute-force attack.
Blocking conditions: Enter the number of authentication failures allowed per second before the block starts. You can set the
number of failures allowed both on page level and device level.
IP address lter
Use lter: Select to lter which IP addresses that are allowed to access the device.
Policy: Choose whether to Allow access or Deny access for certain IP addresses.
Addresses: Enter the IP numbers that are either allowed or denied access to the device. You can also use the CIDR format.

53
AXIS P1465-LE-3 License Plate Verifier Kit
The device interface
To install test rmware or other custom rmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed rmware certicate. The
certicate veries that the rmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The rmware can only run on a specic
device which is identied by its unique serial number and chip ID. Custom-signed rmware certicates can only be created
by Axis, since Axis holds the key to sign them.

MQTT
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It was designed for
simplied IoT integration and is used in a wide variety of industries to connect remote devices with a small code footprint and
minimal network bandwidth. The MQTT client in Axis device rmware can simplify integration of data and events produced in the
device to systems which are not video management systems (VMS).
Set up the device as an MQTT client. MQTT communication is based on two entities, the clients and the broker. The clients can
send and receive messages. The broker is responsible for routing messages between clients.
You can learn more about MQTT in AXIS OS Portal.

Click Use tool to activate the selected tool.
Wear trigger: Set a value for the SD card wear level at which you want to trigger an action. The wear level ranges from 0–200%.
A new SD card that has never been used has a wear level of 0%. A wear level of 100% indicates that the SD card is close to
its expected lifetime. When the wear-level reaches 200% there is a high risk of the SD card malfunctioning. We recommend
setting the wear trigger between 80–90%. This gives you time to download any recordings as well as replace the SD card in
time before it potentially wears out. The wear trigger allows you to set up an event and get a notication when the wear
level reaches your set value.

Detectors
Camera tampering
The camera tampering detector generates an alarm when the scene changes, for example because the lens is covered, sprayed
or severely put out of focus, and the time in Trigger after has passed. The tampering detector only activates when the camera
has not moved for at least 10 seconds. During this period the detector sets up a scene model to use as a comparison to detect
tampering in current images. For the scene model to be set up properly, make sure that the camera is in focus, the lighting
conditions are correct, and the camera doesn’t point at a scene that lacks contours, for example a blank wall. Camera tampering
can be used as a condition to trigger actions.
Trigger after: Enter the minimum time that the tampering conditions must be active before the alarm triggers. This can help
prevent false alarms for known conditions that affect the image.
Trigger on dark images: It is very difcult to generate alarms when the camera lens is sprayed, since it is impossible to distinguish
that event from other situations where the image turns dark in a similar way, for example when the lighting conditions change.
Turn on this parameter to generate alarms for all cases where the image turns dark. When it’s turned off, the device doesn’t
generate any alarm when the image turns dark.
Audio detection
These settings are available for each audio input.
Sound level: Adjust the sound level to a value from 0–100, where 0 is the most sensitive and 100 the least sensitive. Use the
activity indicator as a guide when you set the sound level. When you create events, you can use the sound level as a condition.
You can choose to trigger an action if the sound level rises above, falls below or passes the set value.
Shock detection
Shock detector: Turn on to generate an alarm if the device is hit by an object or if it is tampered with.
Sensitivity level: Move the slider to adjust the sensitivity level at which the device should generate an alarm. A low value
means that the device only generates an alarm if the hit is powerful. A high value means that the device generates an alarm
even with mild tampering.

Note
During restart the output circuit is open. When the restart is complete, the circuit goes back to the normal position. If you
change any settings on this page, the output circuits go back to their normal positions regardless of any active triggers.
Supervised
: Turn on to make it possible to detect and trigger actions if someone tampers with the connection to digital
I/O devices. In addition to detecting if an input is open or closed, you can also detect if someone has tampered with it (that is, cut
or shorted). To supervise the connection requires additional hardware (end-of-line resistors) in the external I/O loop.

Firmware options
Axis offers product rmware management according to either the active track or the long-term support (LTS) tracks. Being on the
active track means continuously getting access to all the latest product features, while the LTS tracks provide a xed platform with
periodic releases focused mainly on bug xes and security updates.
Using rmware from the active track is recommended if you want to access the newest features, or if you use Axis end-to-end system
offerings. The LTS tracks are recommended if you use third-party integrations, which are not continuously validated against the latest
active track. With LTS, the products can maintain cybersecurity without introducing any signicant functional changes or affecting
any existing integrations. For more detailed information about Axis product rmware strategy, go to axis.com/support/rmware.
Check the current rmware version
Firmware is the software that determines the functionality of network devices. When you troubleshoot a problem, we recommend
you to start by checking the current rmware version. The latest rmware version might contain a correction that xes your
particular problem.
To check the current rmware:
1. Go to the device interface > Status.
2. See the rmware version under Device info.

Troubleshooting
Upgrade the rmware
Important
• Precongured and customized settings are saved when you upgrade the rmware (provided that the features are available in
the new rmware) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications AB.
• Make sure the device remains connected to the power source throughout the upgrade process.
Note
When you upgrade the device with the latest rmware in the active track, the product receives the latest functionality
available. Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes available with each new release before you upgrade the
rmware. To nd the latest rmware and the release notes, go to axis.com/support/rmware.
1. Download the rmware le to your computer, available free of charge at axis.com/support/rmware.
2. Log in to the device as an administrator.
3. Go to Maintenance > Firmware upgrade and click Upgrade.
When the upgrade has nished, the product restarts automatically.

Technical issues, clues, and solutions
If you can’t nd what you’re looking for here, try the troubleshooting section at axis.com/support.
Problems upgrading the rmware
Firmware upgrade failure If the rmware upgrade fails, the device reloads the previous rmware. The most common reason
is that the wrong rmware le has been uploaded. Check that the name of the rmware le
corresponds to your device and try again.
Problems after rmware
upgrade
If you experience problems after a rmware upgrade, roll back to the previously installed version
from the Maintenance page.
Problems setting the IP address
The device is located on a
different subnet
If the IP address intended for the device and the IP address of the computer used to access the
device are located on different subnets, you cannot set the IP address. Contact your network
administrator to obtain an IP address.
The IP address is being used
by another device
Disconnect the Axis device from the network. Run the ping command (in a Command/DOS window,
type ping and the IP address of the device):
• If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32; time=10...
this means that the IP address may already be in use by another device on the network.
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the device.
• If you receive: Request timed out, this means that the IP address is available
for use with the Axis device. Check all cabling and reinstall the device.
Possible IP address conict
with another device on the
same subnet
The static IP address in the Axis device is used before the DHCP server sets a dynamic address.
This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may
be problems accessing the device.

Troubleshooting
The device can’t be accessed from a browser
Can’t log in
When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when attempting
to log in. You may need to manually type http or https in the browser’s address eld.
If the password for the user root is lost, the device must be reset to the factory default settings.
See Reset to factory default settings on page 70.
The IP address has been
changed by DHCP
IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been
changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the device on the network. Identify
the device using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been congured).
If required, a static IP address can be assigned manually. For instructions, go to axis.com/support.
Certicate error when using
IEEE 802.1X
For authentication to work properly, the date and time settings in the Axis device must be
synchronized with an NTP server. Go to System > Date and time.
The device is accessible locally but not externally
To access the device externally, we recommend you to use one of the following applications for Windows
®
:
• AXIS Companion: free of charge, ideal for small systems with basic surveillance needs.
• AXIS Camera Station: 30-day trial version free of charge, ideal for small to mid-size systems.
For instructions and download, go to axis.com/vms.
Problems with streaming
Multicast H.264 only
accessible by local clients
Check if your router supports multicasting, or if you need to congure the router settings between
the client and the device. You might need to increase the TTL (Time To Live) value.
No multicast H.264
displayed in the client
Check with your network administrator that the multicast addresses used by the Axis device
are valid for your network.
Check with your network administrator to see if there is a rewall that prevents viewing.
Poor rendering of H.264
images
Ensure that your graphics card uses the latest driver. You can usually download the latest drivers
from the manufacturer’s website.
Color saturation is different
in H.264 and Motion JPEG
Modify the settings for your graphics adapter. Go to the adapter’s documentation for more
information.
Lower frame rate than
expected
• See Performance considerations on page 73.
• 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.
• Lower the image resolution.
• Log in to the device’s webpage and set a capture mode that prioritizes frame rate. If
you change the capture mode to prioritize frame rate it might lower the maximum
resolution, depending on the device used and capture modes available.
• The maximum frames per second is dependent on the utility frequency (60/50 Hz)
of the Axis device.
Can't select H.265 encoding
in live view
Web browsers don’t support H.265 decoding. Use a video management system or application
that supports H.265 decoding.
Unknown vehicles are marked as accepted
If the application lets in vehicles with license plates that are not in the allowlist, one probable reason is that the comparison
allows a deviation of one character.
For example, if AXI S1234 is in the allowlist the application accepts AXI SI234.
Similarly, if AXIS 1234 is in the allowlist the application accepts AXI 1234.
Go to Additional settings on page 20 to set the characters allowed.

Troubleshooting
The connection between the application and controller or relay module doesn’t work
Make sure the controller, or relay module, allows data trafc through HTTP. To nd out how to change this setting, go to the user
manual for the corresponding device.
Performance considerations
When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations affect the performance. Some factors
affect the amount of bandwidth (the bitrate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the
CPU reaches its maximum, this also affects the frame rate.
The following factors are the most important to consider:
• High image resolution or lower compression levels result in images containing more data which in turn affects the
bandwidth.
• Rotating the image in the GUI can increase the product's CPU load.
• Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG or unicast H.264 clients affects the bandwidth.
• Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG or unicast H.265 clients affects the bandwidth.
• Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients affects both frame rate and
bandwidth.
Use identical streams wherever possible to maintain a high frame rate. Stream proles can be used to ensure that
streams are identical.
• Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously affects both frame rate and bandwidth.
• Accessing Motion JPEG and H.265 video streams simultaneously affects both frame rate and bandwidth.
• Heavy usage of event settings affects the product’s CPU load which in turn affects the frame rate.
• Using HTTPS may reduce frame rate, in particular if streaming Motion JPEG.
• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure affects the bandwidth.
• Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance and affects frame rate.
• Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may affect the frame rate and
the general performance.
