AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera
Media Streams
Media Streams
The Axis product provides several audio and video stream formats. Your requirements and the properties of your network will
determine the type you use.
The Live View page in the product provides access to H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, audio streams and to the list of available
stream profiles. Other applications and clients can access video and audio streams directly, without going via the Live View page.
How to Stream H.264
H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared with the Motion
JPEG format and as much as 50% more than the MPEG-4 standard. This means that much less network bandwidth and storage space
are required for a video file. Or seen another way, much higher video quality can be achieved for a given bit rate.
Deciding which combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of
your network. The available options in AXIS Media Control are:
Unicast RTP
This unicast method (RTP over UDP) is used
for live unicast video, especially when it is
important to have an up-to-date video stream,
even if some frames are dropped.
Unicasting is used for video-on-demand
transmission so that there is no video traffic
on the network until a client connects and
requests the stream.
Note that there are a maximum of 20
simultaneous unicast connections.
RTP over RTSP
This unicast method (RTP tunneled over RTSP)
is useful as it is relatively simple to configure
firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.
RTP over RTSP over HTTP
This unicast method can be used to traverse
firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured to
allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to
be tunneled.
Multicast RTP
This method (RTP over UDP) should be used for live multicast video. The video stream is always
up-to-date, even if some frames are dropped.
Multicasting provides the most efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of
clients viewing simultaneously. A multicast cannot however, pass a network router unless the
router is configured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example.
Note also that all multicast viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20
simultaneous connections.
AXIS Media Control negotiates with the Axis product to determine the transport protocol to use. The order of priority, listed in the
AMC Control Panel, can be changed and the options disabled, to suit specific requirements.
Note
H.264 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed
copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
MJPEG
This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate sufficient
to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every image
contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the Axis product is to use the AXIS
Media Control in Internet Explorer in Windows.
AXIS Media Control (AMC)
AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows is the recommended method of accessing live video from the Axis product.

AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera
Video and Audio
•
•
Resolution. Select the default resolution.
Compression. The compression level affects the image quality, bandwidth and file size of saved images; the lower the
compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements and larger file sizes.

Click Save to apply the new settings.
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 H.264 stream settings can be configured from the Video & Audio > Video Stream page. Select the H.264 tab. The settings
defined in this page will apply to all H.264 streams that do not use a stream profile.
The GOP length is the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames. Increasing the GOP length may save considerably on
bandwidth requirements in some cases, but may also have an adverse affect on image quality.
The Axis product supports the following H.264 profile(s):
•
•
Baseline. The Baseline profile is recommended for clients that don’t support CABAC entropy coding.
Main. The Main profile provides higher compression with maintained video quality compared to the Baseline profile but
requires more processing power to decode.
The bit rate can be set as Variable bit rate (VBR) or Maximum bit rate (MBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image
complexity, using up more bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower image activity. When the activity in
the scene increases, the bit rate would usually increase as well. If there is a surplus in bandwidth, this may not be an issue and
selecting Variable bit rate (VBR) will be sufficient. But if bandwidth is limited, it is recommended to control the bit rate by selecting
Maximum bit rate (MBR). When the activity in the scene increases, VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the complexity, using up
more bandwidth for increased activity in the scene, and less for lower scene activity. MBR allows you to set a target bit rate that
limits the bandwidth consumption.
The MBR target bit rate works like the ceiling of a tent. It limits the bit rate, while maintaining some flexibility. The bit rate
may bounce up and down within the set target but when it nears the set target value, the limitation kicks in. However, because
MBR will always prioritize a continuous video stream, it allows temporary overshoots from the target bit rate. Because setting a
target value prevents the bit rate from increasing, frame rate and image quality are affected negatively. To partly compensate for
this, select which variable shall be prioritized, frame rate or image quality. Not setting a priority means that frame rate and
image quality are equally affected.
The current bit rate can be set to appear as text overlay. Under Overlay Settings, select Include text and enter the modifier
#b in the field.
To apply the settings, click Save.
MJPEG
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,
the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.

Stream Profiles
A stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream
profiles can be used:
•
•
•
In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.
For quick setup, use one of the predefined stream profiles. Each predefined profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose. If
required, the predefined stream profiles can be modified and new customized stream profiles can be created.
To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Stream Profiles.
To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.
ONVIF Media Profiles
An ONVIF media profile consists of a set of configurations that can be used to change media stream settings. ONVIF media profiles
can be set through the ONVIF Media Profile Settings page and be used by a client to configure media stream properties.
The ONVIF Media Profiles page lists all such pre-configured profiles. These profiles cannot be removed. Pre-configured media
profiles have been included in the product for quick setup. It is also possible to configure new ONVIF media profiles as per required
specifications. To add a new ONVIF media profile, click Add and enter the required information. You can also modify or remove a
profile from this page.
Camera Settings
The Video & Audio > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.
Image Appearance
To change Image Appearance go to the menus under Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings.
Increasing the Color level increases the color saturation. The value 100 gives maximum color saturation and the value 0 gives
minimum color saturation.
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.
White Balance
To change this setting go to Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings
White balance is used to make colors in the image appear the same regardless of the color temperature of the light source. The Axis
product can be set to automatically identify the light source and compensate for its color. Alternatively, select the type of light
source from the drop-down list. For a description of each available setting, see the online help
.
The white balance window is enabled for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options that appear in the White balance drop-down
list. Select one of the options from the drop-down list to set the white balance window properties. Select Automatic to use the
default settings for the Automatic and Automatic outdoor options (in the White balance drop-down list). Select Custom to manually
set a reference window for white balance in the view area.

Wide Dynamic Range
Wide dynamic range (Dynamic Contrast) can improve the exposure when there is a considerable contrast between light and dark
areas in the image. Enable WDR in intense backlight conditions. Disable WDR in low light conditions for optimal exposure.
Note
This setting is only possible when using automatic exposure control.
Exposure Settings
Configure the exposure settings to suit the image quality requirements in relation to lighting, frame rate and bandwidth
considerations.
Exposure value - Use the Exposure value slider to adjust the overall brightness of the image.
Exposure control - This setting is used to adapt to the amount of light used. Automatic is the default setting and can be used in
most situations. The shutter speed is automatically set to produce optimum image quality. Flicker-free 50 or 60 Hz is used to remove
flicker which can be caused by fluorescent and other light sources. The Hold current option locks the current exposure settings.
Enable Backlight compensation - Enable this option if a bright spot of light, for example a light bulb, causes other areas in
the image to appear too dark.
Exposure zones - This setting determines which part of the image is used to calculate the exposure. For most situations, the Auto
setting can be used. For particular requirements, select a predefined area.
Shutter & Gain
The shutter and gain settings affect the amount of motion blur and noise in the image. To adapt to different lighting, available
storage space and bandwidth, it is often necessary to prioritize either low motion blur or low noise. The Axis product allows
using different prioritization in normal light and in low light.
Shutter speed is related to the amount of time the shutter is opened and is measured in seconds (s). A slow shutter speed allows
more light to reach the sensor and can help produce a brighter image in low light situations. On the other hand, a slow shutter
speed can cause moving objects to appear blurry.
Set Shutter to
•
Auto to set the shutter speed automatically. If required, use Max shutter to limit the shutter speed to prevent the frame
rate from being reduced.
For example, to get 30 fps, set Max shutter to 1/30.
•
Fixed to use a fixed shutter speed.
Gain, measured in decibel (dB), is the amount of amplification applied to the image. A high gain may provide a better image in low
light situations but will increase the amount of image noise.
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. To be able to,
for example, recognize faces or license plates, move the normal light priority slider toward low motion blur. At nighttime, motion
detection is more important than identification. Motion blur is acceptable and since low light can cause a lot of noise, move
the low light priority slider toward low noise.
Example
21
AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera
Video and Audio
If storage space or bandwidth is limited, try using a lower gain. This will reduce image noise and produce smaller image files.
Iris adjustment
Select Enable automatic iris adjustment to automatically compensate for changing light conditions. This option is not available
if a fixed iris is used.
Day/Night
The IR cut filter prevents infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. In poor lighting conditions, for example at night, or when
using an external IR lamp, set the IR cut filter to Off. This increases light sensitivity and allows the product to “see” infrared light. The
image is shown in black and white when the IR cut filter is off.
If using automatic Exposure control, set the IR cut filter to Auto to automatically switch between On and Off according to the
lighting conditions.
The camera lens is IR corrected, which means that it maintains focus in mixed light. A small focus adjustment is recommended
when IR illumination is used. Select Enable focus adjustment for IR illumination to automatically adjust the focus when the IR cut
filter switches between on and off.
The Day/Night shift level bar helps determine when the camera will shift from day mode to night mode. Normally, the camera
automatically changes mode from day to night when very dark (level 100 in the slider). By setting Day/Night shift level to a
lower value, the camera will change to night mode earlier.
View Area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video
stream and PTZ settings.
When setting up a view area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the view area size implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without adding image information.
To enable, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Areas.
To add a new view area:
1. Go to Video & Audio > View Area.
2. Click Add.
3. The new view area appears under Selected view area. Enter a descriptive name in the Name field.

Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example a company logo, is used to provide
extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overlay image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom movements.
Use a privacy mask to set up a dynamic mask which will always mask the specified part of monitored area.
To use an overlay image, the image must first be uploaded to the Axis product. The uploaded image should be a Windows 24-bit BMP
image with maximum 250 colors. The image width and height, in pixels, must be exactly divisible by 4 and cannot be larger than the
maximum image resolution. If combining text and image overlays, take into consideration that the text overlay occupies 16 or 32

AXIS Video Motion Detection
AXIS Video Motion Detection
AXIS Video Motion Detection is an application that detects moving objects in the camera’s field of view. When a moving object
is detected, AXIS Video Motion Detection sends an alarm that can be used by the Axis product or by third-party software, to,
for example, record video or send a notification.
AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 is included with the Axis product and is available under Setup > Applications. To use AXIS Video
Motion Detection, the application must first be started. To avoid detecting unwanted objects, the application should be configured.
During configuration, visual confirmation can be used to help understand the effect of the different filters. When visual confirmation
is enabled, red polygons show which objects the application detects and green polygons show which objects the application ignores.
Considerations
Before using AXIS Video Motion Detection 3, take the following into consideration:
•
•
•
•
Small and distant objects might not be detected.
Detection accuracy may be affected by weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.
Make sure that the lighting conditions are within the Axis product’s specification. Add additional lighting if needed.
Make sure that the camera is not subject to excessive vibrations. Vibrations might cause false detections.
Start and Stop the Application
To start the application, select it in the Installed Applications list on the Applications page and click Start.
To stop the application, select it in the list and click Stop.
Configure Application
AXIS Video Motion
The application is available from Setup > Applications > Motion Detection 3. Go to Settings and then click

2. Optionally, add one or more exclude areas. Objects in an exclude area will be ignored. See Exclude Area on page 36.
3. Click Save to apply the changes.
5. If too many unwanted objects are detected, enable and configure one or more of the ignore filters. See Ignore Filters
on page 37.
After modifying a setting, click Save to apply the changes. The video stream will be restarted and it may take a few seconds
before the change is applied.
Include Area
The include area is the area in which moving objects will be detected. Objects moving outside the include area will be ignored.
The object will be detected also if only a part of the object is inside the include area.
Note
To modify the include area, Internet Explorer and AXIS Media Control (AMC) must be used.

Visual Confirmation
Visual confirmation is used to validate that the settings are correct, that is, that all objects that should be detected are detected.
Note
To use visual confirmation, Internet Explorer and AXIS Media Control (AMC) must be used.
When visual confirmation is enabled, all moving objects found by the application will be encircled and followed by polygons. A red
polygon indicates that the object is found and is detected as a moving object. A green polygon indicates that the object is found but
is ignored because it is not in the include area or because of one of the ignore filters.
To enable visual confirmation:
1. Select the Enable visual confirmation option.
2. Click Save.

Note
• Visual confirmation is disabled after 15 minutes.
• After modifying a setting, click Save to apply the change. The video stream will be restarted and it may take a few seconds
before the change is applied.
• Enabling visual confirmation may introduce video latency.
Ignore Filters
If AXIS Video Motion Detection 3 detects too many unwanted objects, start by modifying the include and exclude areas. If still too
many objects are detected, use one or more of the ignore filters.
Supported ignore filters:
•
•
•
Swaying objects — Used to ignore objects that only move a short distance
Short-lived objects — Used to ignore objects that only appear in the image for a short period of time
Small objects — Used to ignore small objects
Ignore filters are applied to all moving objects found by the application and should be configured with care to ensure that no
important objects are ignored.
Only use ignore filters if needed and use as few filters as possible. Enable and configure one filter at a time and use visual confirmation
to verify the settings before enabling another filter. When configuring a filter, start with a small filter size, click Save and use visual
confirmation to verify the settings. If required, increase the filter size in small steps until the number of unwanted objects is reduced.
Swaying Object Ignore Filter
The swaying object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that only move a short distance, for example moving trees, flags and their
shadows. Use the filter if such objects cause a lot of false detections. If the swaying objects in the scene are large, for example large
ponds or large trees, use exclude areas instead of the filter. The filter will be applied to all moving objects in scene and, if set to
a value too large, important objects might not be detected.
When the swaying object filter is enabled and the application finds a moving object, the object will not be reported as detected (red
polygon in visual confirmation) until it has travelled a distance larger than the set filter size. The alarm sent by the application will be
sent when the object is detected. If the alarm is used to start a recording, configure the pre-trigger time so that the recording also
includes the time the object moved in the scene before being detected.
To enable the filter:
1. Select the Swaying objects option.
2. Click on the
icon to show the filter size in the image.
3. Use the mouse to adjust the filter size. Start with a small size. Objects moving a distance shorter than the distance from
the center of the cross to one of the arrowheads will be ignored. The filter can be moved to the location of a swaying
object to make it easier to adjust the size. Note that the filter will be applied to all objects in the image, not only to the
ones at the location where the filter is placed.
4. Click Save to apply the filter.
5. Use visual confirmation to verify the settings.
6. If the result is not satisfactory, increase the filter size in small steps.
The filter size can also be set by entering a value between 10 and 50 in the field. The value corresponds to the distance from the
center of the cross to one of the arrowheads. The value 100 implies that an object must travel from its initial point to one third of the
image width or height before being detected. The value 50 implies half that distance, that is, the object must travel a distance of
one sixth of the image width or height before being detected.
37
AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera
AXIS Video Motion Detection
Short-Lived Object Ignore Filter
The short-lived object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that only appear for a short period of time, such as light beams from a
passing car and quickly moving shadows. Use the filter if such objects cause a lot of false detections.
When the short-lived object filter is enabled and the application finds a moving object, the object will not be reported as detected
(red polygon in visual confirmation) until the set time as passed. The alarm sent by the application will be sent when the object is
detected. If the alarm is used to start a recording, configure the pre-trigger time so that the recording also includes the time the
object moved in the scene before being detected.
To enable the filter:
1. Select the Short-lived objects option.
2. Enter the number of seconds in the field. The number of seconds is the minimum time that must pass before the object is
detected. Start with a small number.
3. Click Save to apply the filter.
4. Use visual confirmation to verify the settings.
5. If the result is not satisfactory, increase the filter size in small steps.
Small Object Ignore Filter
The small object filter is used to avoid detecting objects that are too small. For example, if only moving cars should be detected, the
small object filter can be used to avoid detecting people and animals.
If using the small object filter, take into consideration that an object far from the camera appears smaller than an object close to the
camera. If the filter is set to ignore objects the size of a person, people that are close to be camera can still be detected because
they are larger than the filter size.
To enable the filter:
1. Select the Small objects option.
2. Click on the
icon to show the filter size in the image.
3. Use the mouse to adjust the filter size. Start with a small size. Moving objects that fit inside the rectangle will be ignored.
The filter displayed in the image can be moved to make it easier to compare the filter size with the size of objects
in the image. Note that the filter will be applied to all objects in the image, also to objects that are not located at
the position of the displayed filter.
4. Click Save to apply the filter.

Events
Events
The Event pages allow you to configure the Axis product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product
can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when
the action is triggered is called an action rule.
Set Up Action Rules
An action rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an
email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to trigger the action.
For more information about available triggers and actions, see Triggers on page 40 and Actions on page 42.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to record video to a network share if there is movement in the
camera’s field of view.
Set up motion detection and add a network share:
1. Go to Applications to start and configure AXIS Video Motion Detection 3. See AXIS Video Motion Detection.
2. Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 59.
Set up the action rule:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select Enable rule and enter a descriptive name for the rule.
3. Select Applications from the Trigger drop-down list and then select VMD3
4. Optionally, select a Schedule and Additional conditions. See below.
5. Under Actions, select Record Video from the Type drop-down list.
6. Select a Stream profile and configure the Duration settings as described below.
7. Select Network Share from the Storage drop-down list.
To use more than one trigger for the action rule, select Additional conditions and click Add to add additional triggers. When using
additional conditions, all conditions must be met to trigger the action.
To prevent an action from being triggered repeatedly, a Wait at least time can be set. Enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds,
during which the trigger should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
The recording Duration of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select Pre-trigger time
and/or Post-trigger time and enter the number of seconds. When While the rule is active is enabled and the action is triggered
again during the post-trigger time, the recording time will be extended with another post-trigger time period.

Certificates
Certificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network
protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notification messages for example via email. Two types of certificates
can be used with the Axis product:
Server/Client certificates - To authenticate the Axis product.
CA certificates - To authenticate peer certificates, for example the certificate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is
connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.
Note
Installed certificates, except preinstalled CA certificates, will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default. Preinstalled
CA certificates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.
A Server/Client certificate can be self-signed or issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). A self-signed certificate offers limited
protection and can be used before a CA-issued certificate has been obtained.
To install a self-signed certificate:
1. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > Certificates.
2. Click Create self-signed certificate and provide the requested information.
To create and install a CA-signed certificate:

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).
Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other (WAN) side
of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarded to
the product.
NAT traversal is configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnPTM
.
• In this context, router refers to any network routing device such as a NAT router, Network router, Internet Gateway,
Broadband router, Broadband sharing device, or a software such as a firewall.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnPTM
Note that UPnPTM must be enabled in the product (see System Options > Network > UPnP).
.
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in
the field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is
found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter a port in the range 1024–65535. If the
port field is empty or contains the default setting, which is 0, a port number is automatically selected when enabling NAT traversal.
Note
• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does not
support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.
• When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.
FTP
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled
under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
This FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.
RTSP
The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be
changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.
Note
H.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.
55
AXIS P3365-V Fixed Dome Network Camera
System Options
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other
side of a firewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a firewall, and
notifications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).
SOCKS is configured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help
.
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. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the
Axis product can mark different types of traffic.
Note
Live audio DSCP will be equal to live video DSCP if H.264 over RTSP is used.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is the
group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.
AXIS Video MIB (Management Information Base) for video hardware can be used to monitor Axis-specific, hardware-related
issues that may need administrative attention. For more information about AXIS Video MIB and to download MIB files, go to
To enable and configure SNMP in the Axis product, go to the System Options > Network > SNMP page.
Depending on the level of security required, select the version on SNMP to use.
Traps are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status changes. Check Enable
traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the Trap community that should receive the message.
Note
If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.
Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status
changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent and the Trap community that
should receive the message.
The following traps are available:
•
•
•
•
Cold start
Warm start
Link up
Authentication failed
Note
All AXIS Video MIB traps are enabled when SNMP v1/v2c traps are enabled. It is not possible to turn on or off specific traps.
SNMP v3 provides encryption and secure passwords. To use traps with SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.
To use SNMP v3, HTTPS must be enabled, see HTTPS on page 50. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user
password.

Performance Considerations
When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some factors
affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some affect both. If the load on the
CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
The following factors are among the most important to consider:
•
•
•
High image resolution and/or lower compression levels result in images containing more data. Bandwidth affected.
Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients. Bandwidth affected.
Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression) by different clients. Effect on frame rate and
bandwidth.

Accessing Motion JPEG and H.264 video streams simultaneously. Frame rate and bandwidth affected.
Heavy usage of event settings affect the product’s CPU load. Frame rate affected.
Using HTTPS may reduce frame rate, in particular if streaming Motion JPEG.
Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected.
Viewing on poorly performing client computers lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
Running multiple AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) applications simultaneously may affect the frame rate and
the general performance.
