Video and Image Settings
The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the
AXIS 225FD. For details of each setting, please refer to the online help available from the setup tools. Click
to access the online help.
Image Settings
Image Appearance
Adjust these settings to optimize the video images according to your requirements.
All configuration of images and overlays will affect the camera’s overall performance, depending on how it is
used and on the available bandwidth. Lower compression improves video image quality, but increases the
bandwidth.
Changed video image settings have immediate effect on the MPEG-4 stream, but the Motion JPEG stream will
have to be started (or restarted) before the settings take effect.
Text Overlay Settings
The date, time, and user defined text can be included on one line, either on 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 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 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.
