AXIS 225FD - Video and Image Settings
Video Stream
Define the maximum video stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When 
the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web 
browser. For unlimited video stream time, set this value to 0. This setting is only applicable 
to Motion JPEG.
The fr
ame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems 
on the network. 
Test 
To preview the image before saving, click Test. Note that the preview image will be in 
JPEG format, even though the settings are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.

Overlay/Mask Type
When using an image 
overlay, select from the 
following options the type 
to use: 
• Uploaded image as over-
lay - usually used to pro-
vide extra information in 
the video image. 
• Uploaded image as pri-
vacy mask - conceals 
part 
of the video image. 
• Configurable areas as 
privacy masks - up to 3 
blac
k areas are used to conceal parts of the video image.
The difference between an overlay and a privacy mask is that a 
privacy mask cannot be 
bypassed by accessing the video stream with the help of the AXIS HTTP API, whereas an 
overlay can.
Selecting the overlay/mask type will 
display further settings available for the selected type. 
See the online help for further information.
