Snapshot Types
You can adjust the size and appearance of your AXIS 240 snapshots,
ranging from small, highly compressed to large, high-quality images.
The file sizes depend on several factors. Low compression and large
images result in larger files, but the images will be of better quality.
Images with a lot of details will also generate larger files. As always on
the web, the price for size and quality is time!
These snapshot types are available within the AXIS 240:
