The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent
image quality and access to every image contained in the stream.
H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC
Note
H.264 is a licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license.
To install additional unlicensed copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional
licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more
than 80% compared to the Motion JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to the
MPEG-4 standard. This means that less network bandwidth and storage space are required
for a video file. Or seen another way, higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.
H.265 or MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC
Note
H.265 is licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.265 viewing client license.
To install additional unlicensed copies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional
licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
The Image tab contains camera settings that affect all video streams from the product. If you
change something in this tab, it immediately affects all video streams and recordings.
The Stream tab contains settings for video streams. You get these settings if you request a
video stream from the product and don’t specify for example resolution, or frame rate. When
you change the settings in the Stream tab, it doesn’t affect ongoing streams, but it will take
effect when you start a new stream.
The Stream profiles settings override the settings from the Stream tab. If you request a
stream with a specific stream profile, the stream contains the settings of that profile. If you
request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profile that doesn't
exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the Stream tab.
