AXIS 223M - Video and Image
The AXIS 223M Network Camera can be set to automatically identify the light source used
and compensate for its color. Alternatively, the type of light source can be set manually.
The configuration of the video image will affect the cam
era’s overall performance,
depending on how it is used and on the available bandwidth. Setting a higher resolution
and lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the amount of
bandwidth used.
When you check the Widescreen resolutions
(16:9) option under Image Appearance, all
the currently open video streams are stopped and the resolutions for this format are
displayed in the drop-down list. Open video streams are also stopped when this box is
unchecked and the format switches to 4:3. Please see the online help for further
information on all these settings.
Text overlay settings - The date, time, and user defined text
can be included on one line,
either at the top or bottom of the video image.
It is also possible to set how the text and text background
are displayed. You can set the
text to be either black or white, and the text background can also be set to black, white,
semi-transparent, or transparent. Please see the online help for further information on
these settings.
Video stream - Define the Maximum vide
o 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 frame 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.
