Video and Image Settings
The following descriptions show examples of some of the features available in the
AXIS 221. 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.
