AXIS 233D - Video Streams Video Streams The AXIS 233D provides several different video stream formats. The type you choose to use depends on your requirements and on the properties of your network. The Live View page in the AXIS 233D provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.
AXIS 233D - Video Streams MPEG-4 protocols and communication methods To deliver live streaming video over IP networks, various combinations of transport protocols and broadcast methods are employed. • RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is a protocol that allows programs to manage the real-time transmission of multimedia data, via unicast or multicast. • RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) serves as a control protocol, to negotiate the transport protocol to use for the stream.
AXIS 233D - Video Streams Unicasting should be used for video-on-demand broadcasting. However, if more and more unicast clients connect simultaneously, the server at some point becomes overloaded. There is also a maximum of 20 simultaneous viewers to be considered. RTP/RTSP This unicast method is RTP tunneled over RTSP. This can be used to exploit the fact that it is relatively simple to configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.
AXIS 233D - Video Streams Other MPEG-4 clients Although it may be possible to use other clients to view the MPEG-4 stream, this is not guaranteed by Axis. For some other clients, such as QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple, under Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4. It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings. To access the video stream from QuickTime™ the following path can be used: rtsp:///mpeg4/media.
AXIS 233D - Configuring the Network Dome Camera Configuring the Network Dome Camera This section describes how to configure the AXIS 233D and is intended for the product Administrator who has unrestricted access to all Setup tools and the Operator who has access to Video & Image, Audio, Live View Config, Dome Configuration and Event Config. See the section on Security, on page 42 for more information on user access control. The AXIS 233D is configured by clicking on the Setup link from a web browser.
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings Video & Image Settings Given below are examples of features available in the AXIS 233D. For details of each setting, please refer to the online help files which are available from each page. Click to access the help files. Image Settings To optimize the video images, modify the following settings under Image Appearance. .
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings Overlay Settings Use these settings to include an image as an overlay, and/or the date and Date & time, along with your own text. Time Text overlays are included on one line Overlay at the top or bottom of the video image image. Use text overlays to display useful information such as PTZ coordinates, OSDI Zone names, frame and bit rates. Please refer to File Naming & for more information.
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings Overlay image requirements Image Formats Overlay image limitations Image Size • Windows 24-bit BMP (full color) The height and width of the overlay image in pixels must be exactly • Windows 4-bit BMP (16 colors) divisible by 4. • OS/2 4-bit BMP (16 colors) • If the image overlay and text overlay are larger than the video image, no overlay is displayed. When also using a text overlay, this occupies 16 pixels in height and as many in width as the video image.
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings Advanced Camera Settings To optimize the lighting settings according to your requirements, modify the following settings under Lighting Conditions: • Color level, Brightness and Sharpness - Find the level that best suits your image needs by testing. • Exposure area - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure.
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings Low Light Behavior The settings for Low Light Behavior determine how the camera behaves at low light levels. These settings affect video image quality and frame rate. • Exposure control - This setting is used to adapt to the amount or type of light used. Automatic is the default setting and can be used in most situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Use Manual if you have special requirements for the exposure setting.
AXIS 233D - Video & Image Settings MJPEG settings Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the bandwidth and storage used by the MJPEG video stream in these situations. Defining the frame size as Unlimited provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage during low light conditions. Limiting the frame size reduces bandwidth and storage usage, but gives poor image quality.
AXIS 233D - Audio Audio The AXIS 233D can transmit audio to other clients by connecting an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients via a connected speaker. Basic Audio Settings This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the AXIS 233D, for example, setting the audio mode and adjusting the sound levels in the microphone and speaker connected to the camera.
