AXIS M3007–PV Video • Double Panorama • Quad View H.264 H.264, also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC, is a video compression standard that provides high quality video streams at low bit rates. An H.264 video stream consists of different types of frames such as I-frames and P-frames. An I-frame is a complete image whereas P-frames only contain the differences from previous frames. The GOV length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames.
AXIS M3007–PV Video The image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image. Increasing the Sharpness can increase bandwidth usage. A sharper image might increase image noise especially in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the whole image will appear less sharp. The Contrast changes the relative difference between light and dark. It can be adjusted using the slidebar.
AXIS M3007–PV Video Set Gain to • Auto to set the gain automatically. If required, use Max gain to limit the applied gain. • Fixed to use a fixed gain. When Shutter and Gain are both set to Auto, it is possible to set the Priority between low motion blur and low noise manually and to use a different Priority in Normal Light and in Low Light. Example Consider an area where people or vehicles move during the day, but where there should be no movements during night.

AXIS M3007–PV System Options NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4 A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
AXIS M3007–PV System Options QoS (Quality of Service) QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use. The QoS settings are configured under System Options > Network > QoS.
AXIS M3007–PV System Options RTP/H.264 The RTP port range and multicast settings are configured under System Options > Network > RTP. The RTP port range defines the range of ports from which the video ports are automatically selected. For multicast streams, only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used. Select Always Multicast Video to start multicast streaming without opening an RTSP session. Bonjour The Axis product includes support for Bonjour.
AXIS M3007–PV System Options Network Share Network share allows you to add network storage such as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) or any server that uses CIFS (Common Internet File System) and use them for storage of recordings.
