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 browser.
For unlimited video stream time, select the Unlimited radio button. Note that the
maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.
The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems
on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio
button.
For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click
Save. Please 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
The following options are available for overlays and masks:
• Uploaded image as overlay
• Configurable areas as privacy mask
Uploaded image as overlay is a text and/or a static image superimposed over the video
image, for extra information.
Configurable areas as privacy mask are configurable areas of solid color that can be used
to block out certain parts of the video image.
Note:
When setting privacy masks in AXIS 216MFD/MFD-V make sure the camera is set for full resolution to
ensure full coverage of sensitive area.
Advanced - Camera Settings
This page contains settings for fine-tuning the video image. These include the color level,
brightness, sharpness and exposure control.
Please see the online help for further information on these settings.
DC-Iris should always be set to Enabled, except during focusing. DC-Iris is a varifocal lens
which automatically regulates the amount of light entering the camera.
Low Light Behavior
Low light conditions can reduce image quality and increase bandwidth usage. The Low
Light Behavior settings define the balance between image quality and frame rate. During
low light conditions, experiment with the settings Exposure priority, Max exposure time
and Max gain until you achieve an acceptable image quality at the required frame rate.
