AXIS M7014VideoMJPEGSometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control thebandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default settingprovides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the framesize 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.Quad streamA Quad view displays images from all four channels on a single screen; where the images from each camera take up a quarter ofthe display area. It is possible to define settings for the video stream in quad view.Stream ProfilesThere are four pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set up. The settings for these can be adjusted. New customizedprofiles can also be created. Each profile has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose.• The stream profiles can be accessed from the Stream profile drop-down list in the Live View page.• To add, copy, modify, and remove stream profiles go to Video > Stream Profiles.• To select the default stream profile go to Live View Config > Stream Profile and choose the profile from the drop-down list.For more information see the online help on this page.Camera SettingsThe Video > Camera Settings page provides access to advanced image settings for the Axis product.Image AppearanceThe image Brightness can be adjusted in the range 0–100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.The Contrast can be adjusted using the slidebar.Video input• Enter a descriptive name for your video source in the Video source name field.• The values in the Offset Adjustments fields affect the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the image. This can be usedto eliminate any black border surrounding the image. High values, both negative and positive can put the image out of sync.• De-interlacing - is used to improve video stream image quality from analog devices. Select any of the following optionsfrom the De-interlacing drop-down list. Select None if de-interlacing is not necessary; Blending for improved image qualitythat is not as processor intensive; Adaptive Interpolation performs de-interlacing of the video stream by applying differentfilters on the image. This may give a better result than Motion Adaptive Interpolation in rare cases; Motion AdaptiveInterpolation performs de-interlacing of the video stream by applying different filters depending on the motion in differentparts of the image. This will in most cases result in the best image quality.• Antialiasing will minimize distortion known as aliasing, which happens when a high-resolution image is represented ata lower resolution.• If your Axis product is to be connected in parallel with other equipment, disable video termination by selecting this option.Failure to do so can impair the image quality.Image settingsNoise reduction - Set to On to enable noise reduction. Noise reduction may increase the amount of motion blur.16
