Max gain: Select the suitable max gain. If you increase the max gain, it improves the visible level of detail in dark images, but also increases the noise level. More noise can also result in increased use of bandwidth and storage. If you set the max gain to a high value, images can differ a lot if the light conditions are very different from day to night. Max gain works with max shutter to improve the image.

Max gain: Select the suitable max gain. If you increase the max gain, it improves the visible level of detail in low contrast images, but also increases the noise level. More noise can also result in increased use of bandwidth and storage.

Motion-adaptive exposure: Select to reduce motion blur in low-light conditions.

Blur-noise trade-off: Use the slider to adjust the priority between motion blur and noise. If you want to prioritize low bandwidth and have less noise at the expense of details in moving objects, move the slider towards Low noise. If you want to prioritize the preservation of details in moving objects at the expense of noise and bandwidth, move the slider towards Low motion blur.

Lock aperture: Turn on to keep the aperture size set by the Aperture slider. Turn off to allow the camera to automatically adjust the aperture size. You can, for example, lock the aperture for scenes with permanent light conditions.

Aperture: Use the slider to adjust the aperture size, that is, how much light passes through the lens. To allow more light to enter the sensor and thereby produce a brighter image in low-light conditions, move the slider towards Open. An open aperture also reduces the depth of field, which means that objects close to or far from the camera can appear unfocused. To allow more of the image to be in focus, move the slider towards Closed.

Exposure level: Use the slider to adjust the image exposure.

• Deinterlacing: Select a method to improve the video stream image quality from analog devices.

• None: No deinterlacing.

• Blending: Improves the image quality without putting too much load on the processor.

• Adaptive interpolation: Applies different filters to the image. Can in rare cases give better results than motion-adaptive interpolation.

• Motion-adaptive interpolation: Applies different filters to different parts of the video stream image, depending on the level of motion in different parts of the scene. This option usually gives the best image quality.

Video termination: Turn off when the device is connected alongside other equipment. If you leave video termination on, it can affect the image quality. We recommend you to only keep video termination turned on for the last device in the video signal chain.

X offset: Enter a value to horizontally adjust the image orientation.

Y offset: Enter a value to vertically adjust the image orientation.

Name: Enter a name for the selected camera.

The different sensor images are stitched together to appear as one complete image.

Blending: The slider softens the line between the different sensor images.

Distance: The slider sets the distance (in meters) between the camera and the objects of interest in the scene. At the set distance, you get the optimal stitching of the images.

Resolution: Select the image resolution suitable for the surveillance scene. A higher resolution increases bandwidth and storage.

Palette: Select a palette to color the image with different colors depending on temperature. The palette can improve visibility of fine details.

Frame rate: To avoid bandwidth problems on the network or reduce storage size, you can limit the frame rate to a fixed amount. If you leave the frame rate at zero, the frame rate is kept at the highest possible rate under the current conditions. A higher frame rate requires more bandwidth and storage capacity.

P-frames: A P-frame is a predicted image that shows only the changes in the image from the previous frame. Enter the desired number of P-frames. The higher the number, the less bandwidth is required. However, if there is network congestion, there could be a noticeable deterioration in the video quality.

Compression: Use the slider to adjust the image compression. High compression results in a lower bitrate and lower image quality. Low compression improves the image quality, but uses more bandwidth and storage when you record.

Signed video: Turn on to add the signed video feature to the video. Signed video protects the video from tampering by adding cryptographic signatures to the video.

• Select the bitrate reduction Strength:

• Off: No bitrate reduction.

• Low: No visible quality degradation in most scenes. This is the default option and it can be used in all types of scenes to reduce the bitrate.

• Medium: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a slightly lower level of detail in regions of lower interest, for example, where there’s no movement.

• High: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a lower level of detail in regions of lower interest, for example, where there’s no movement. We recommend this level for cloud-connected devices and devices that use local storage.

• Higher: Visible effects in some scenes through less noise and a lower level of detail in regions of lower interest, for example, where there’s no movement.

• Extreme: Visible effects in most scenes. The bitrate is optimized for smallest possible storage.

Optimize for storage: Turn on to minimize the bitrate while maintaining quality. The optimization does not apply to the stream shown in the web client. This can only be used if your VMS supports B-frames. Turning on Optimize for storage also turns on Dynamic GOP.

Dynamic FPS (frames per second): Turn on to allow the bandwidth to vary based on the level of activity in the scene. More activity requires more bandwidth.

• Lower limit: Enter a value to adjust the frame rate between minimal fps and the stream default fps based on scene motion. We recommend you to use lower limit in scenes with very little motion, where the fps could drop to 1 or lower.

Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures): Turn on to dynamically adjust the interval between I-frames based on the level of activity in the scene.

• Upper limit: Enter a maximum GOP length, that is, the maximum number of P-frames between two I-frames. An I-frame is a self-contained image frame that is independent of other frames.

• Average: Select to automatically adjust the bitrate over a longer time period and provide the best possible image quality based on the available storage.

• • Click to calculate the target bitrate based on available storage, retention time, and bitrate limit.

  • Target bitrate: Enter desired target bitrate.

  • Retention time: Enter the number of days to keep the recordings.

  • Storage: Shows the estimated storage that can be used for the stream.

  • Maximum bitrate: Turn on to set a bitrate limit.

  • Bitrate limit: Enter a bitrate limit that is higher than the target bitrate.

• Maximum: Select to set a maximum instant bitrate of the stream based on your network bandwidth.

• • Maximum: Enter the maximum bitrate.

• Variable: Select to allow the bitrate to vary based on the level of activity in the scene. More activity requires more bandwidth. We recommend this option for most situations.

Mirror: Turn on to mirror the image.

• Include lossless icon in the stream: Turn on to display lossless zoom icon in the video stream.

Near focus limit: Select a value to prevent the camera from autofocusing on objects close to the camera. This way, the camera can ignore objects such as overhead wires, streetlights, or other nearby objects. To make the camera focus on the areas of interest, set the near focus limit to a value greater than the distance at which the objects of no interest tend to appear.

Proportional speed: Turn on to set the maximum proportional speed.

• Max proportional speed: Set a value between 1 and 1000 to limit the pan and tilt speed. Max proportional speed is defined as a percentage, where the value 1000 equals 1000%.

  This is useful when the joystick is pushed all the way out. For example, if the image is approximately 44 degrees wide when fully zoomed out and the max proportional speed is set to 100 (100%), the maximum speed is about 44 degrees/second. If the image is then zoomed in from 44 to 10 degrees wide, the maximum speed reaches about 10 degrees/second, which is probably too fast for easy viewing. To limit the speed, set the max proportional speed to 50 (50%). This way, the maximum speed only reaches 50% of the maximum for the currently selected zoom level. This means that when the image is 44 degrees wide, the greatest possible speed is limited to about 22 degrees/second, and when the view is zoomed in to 10 degrees the speed is limited to about 5 degrees/second.

In the web interface, you can set up traps for SNMP v1 and v2c. Traps are automatically turned off if you change to SNMP v3 or turn off SNMP. If you use SNMP v3, you can set up traps through the SNMP v3 management application.

  • Trap address: Enter the IP address or host name of the management server.

  • Trap community: Enter the community to use when the device sends a trap message to the management system.

  • Traps:

  • • Cold start: Sends a trap message when the device starts.

    • Link down: Sends a trap message when a link changes from up to down.

    • Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails.

• v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS. This also prevents unauthorized parties’ access to unencrypted SNMP v1 and v2c traps. If you use SNMP v3, you can set up traps through the SNMP v3 management application.

• • Privacy: Select what encryption to use for protecting your SNMP data.

  • Password for the account “initial”: Enter the SNMP password for the account named “initial”. Although the password can be sent without activating HTTPS, we don’t recommend it. The SNMP v3 password can only be set once, and preferably only when HTTPS is enabled. Once the password is set, the password field is no longer displayed. To set the password again, you must reset the device to factory default settings.

Certificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. The device supports two types of certificates:

• Client/server certificates

  A client/server certificate validates the device’s identity, and 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.

• CA certificates

  You can use a CA certificate to authenticate a peer certificate, for example to validate the identity of an authentication server when the device connects to a network protected by IEEE 802.1X. The device has several pre-installed CA certificates.

These formats are supported:

• Certificate formats: .PEM, .CER, and .PFX

• Private key formats: PKCS#1 and PKCS#12

Add certificate : Click to add a certificate. A step-by-step guide opens up.

• More: Show more fields to fill in or select.

• Secure keystore: Select to use Trusted Execution Environment (SoC TEE), Secure element or Trusted Platform Module 2.0 to securely store the private key. For more information on which secure keystore to select, go to help.axis.com/axis-os#cryptographic-support.

• Key type: Select the default or a different encryption algorithm from the drop-down list to protect the certificate.

The context menu contains:

• Certificate information: View an installed certificate’s properties.

• Delete certificate: Delete the certificate.

IEEE 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based network admission control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless network devices. IEEE 802.1x is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).

To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1x, network devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server (for example, FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Server).

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec

IEEE 802.1AE MACsec is an IEEE standard for media access control (MAC) security that defines connectionless data confidentiality and integrity for media access independent protocols.

Certificates

When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to.

When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).

To allow the device to access a network protected through certificates, you must install a signed client certificate on the device.

Authentication method: Select an EAP type used for authentication.

Client certificate: Select a client certificate to use IEEE 802.1x. The authentication server uses the certificate to validate the client’s identity.

CA certificates: Select CA certificates to validate the authentication server’s identity. When no certificate is selected, the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to.

EAP identity: Enter the user identity associated with the client certificate.

EAPOL version: Select the EAPOL version that is used in the network switch.

Use IEEE 802.1x: Select to use the IEEE 802.1x protocol.

These settings are only available if you use IEEE 802.1x PEAP-MSCHAPv2 as the authentication method:

• Password: Enter the password for your user identity.

• Peap version: Select the Peap version that is used in the network switch.

• Label: Select 1 to use client EAP encryption; select 2 to use client PEAP encryption. Select the Label that the network switch uses when using Peap version 1.

These settings are only available if you use IEEE 802.1ae MACsec (Static CAK/Pre-Shared Key) as the authentication method:

• Key agreement connectivity association key name: Enter the connectivity association name (CKN). It must be 2 to 64 (divisible by 2) hexadecimal characters. The CKN must be manually configured in the connectivity association and must match on both ends of the link to initially enable MACsec.

• Key agreement connectivity association key: Enter the connectivity association key (CAK). It should be either 32 or 64 hexadecimal characters long. The CAK must be manually configured in the connectivity association and must match on both ends of the link to initially enable MACsec.

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It was designed for simplified IoT integration and is used in a wide variety of industries to connect remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. The MQTT client in Axis device software can simplify integration of data and events produced in the device to systems which are not video management software (VMS).

Set up the device as an MQTT client. MQTT communication is based on two entities, the clients and the broker. The clients can send and receive messages. The broker is responsible for routing messages between clients.

You can learn more about MQTT in AXIS OS Knowledge base.

ALPN is a TLS/SSL extension that allows for the selection of an application protocol during the handshake phase of the connection between the client and server. This is used to enable MQTT traffic over the same port that is used for other protocols, such as HTTP. In some cases, there might not be a dedicated port open for MQTT communication. A solution in such cases is to use ALPN to negotiate the use of MQTT as the application protocol on a standard port, allowed by the firewalls.

• Change password: Change the password required to encrypt the SD card.

• Use tool: Click to activate the selected tool.

Wear trigger: Set a value for the SD card wear level at which you want to trigger an action. The wear level ranges from 0–200%. A new SD card that has never been used has a wear level of 0%. A wear level of 100% indicates that the SD card is close to its expected lifetime. When the wear-level reaches 200%, there is a high risk of the SD card malfunctioning. We recommend setting the wear trigger between 80–90%. This gives you time to download any recordings as well as replace the SD card in time before it potentially wears out. The wear trigger allows you to set up an event and get a notification when the wear level reaches your set value.
