Axis M3045-V - Stream Profiles

AXIS M3045-V Network Camera
Video
• Highest Zipstream strength. High bandwidth reduction. Visible quality degradation in not prioritized areas in many scenes
Lowest Zipstream strength is the default setting for the product. This conguration is very safe to use in all applications while still
reducing the bit rate.
For cloud-connected cameras or cameras using edge storage that need to limit the bit rate for increased storage time it is
recommended to select the Highest Zipstream strength. This setting is very good to combine with motion detection triggering and
variable bit rate (VBR) where the bit rate is allowed to adapt to changes in complexity in the scene.
Axis’ Zipstream Technology for H.264 conforms to the H.264 standard and is compatible with third-party clients and VMS solutions
that decode H.264 video.
The bit rate controller built into the product can be combined with Zipstream to enforce a maximum bit rate (MBR) limit. Axis
Communications recommends using VBR or MBR with a rather high bit rate limit to enable the full potential of Axis’ Zipstream
Technology.

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 Proles
A stream prole is a set of predened stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream
proles can be used:
• When setting up recording using action rules. See Events on page 39.
• When setting up continuous recording. See Continuous Recording on page 44.
• In the Live View page – select the stream prole from the Stream prole drop-down list.
For quick setup, use one of the predened stream proles. Each predened prole has a descriptive name, indicating its purpose. If
required, the predened stream proles can be modied and new customized stream proles can be created.
To create a new prole or modify an existing prole, go to Setup > Video > Stream Proles.
To select a default stream prole for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Cong.
ONVIF Media Proles
An ONVIF media prole consists of a set of congurations that can be used to change media stream settings. ONVIF media proles
can be set through the ONVIF Media Prole Settings page and be used by a client to congure media stream properties.
The ONVIF Media Proles page lists all such pre-congured proles. These proles cannot be removed. Pre-congured media
proles have been included in the product for quick setup. It is also possible to congure new ONVIF media proles as per required
specications. To add a new ONVIF media prole, click Add and enter the required information. You can also modify or remove a
prole from this page.
