AXIS P33 Series - Video & Audio

Stream Profiles

There are four pre-programmed stream profiles

available for quick set-up. These settings can be

adjusted and new customized profiles can be created.

Each profile has a descriptive name, describing its use

and purpose. The profiles can be accessed from the Live

View page.

• To add a new stream profile, click Add... in the

Stream Profile List page. The Stream Profile

Settings dialog appears.

• Choose a Profile name and enter a description

for your profile.

• Choose the form of Video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:

• H.264 - Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This

function offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the

same quality video at a lower bit rate.

• Motion JPEG - Delivers a high quality video stream, from which individual images can be extracted and saved.

•Select Copy... from the Stream Profile List page to copy an existing stream profile to your system and rename it.

• Click Modify to modify an existing stream profile based on the light situation and motion to be captured by your

camera. See the Stream Profile Settings dialog that opens up for more information.

• Highlight the stream profile you wish to remove, then click Remove to remove it from the list.

Camera Settings

This page provides access to the advanced image

settings for the network camera.

Capture mode

Capture mode defines how image data is taken from the

image sensor prioritizing either frame rate or resolution.

The capture mode is set the first time the camera is

accessed, see

Configure capture mode, on page 9.

Capture modes for AXIS P3346:

• 3 MP (4:3 format) @20 fps

• HDTV 1080p (16:9 format) @30 fps

• 2 MP (4:3 format) @30 fps

If the capture mode setting is changed, most other

settings, for example view areas, motion detection

windows and events, will be removed or reset. Stop all

video streams before you change the capture mode.

View Areas

Check the box Enable View Areas to enable the camera’s View areas and digital PTZ functionality.

Image Appearance

Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,

while the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.

Brightness - Image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100; a higher value produces a brighter image.

Sharpness - Controls the amount of sharpening applied to the image. A sharper image might increase image noise especially

in low light conditions. A lower setting reduces image noise, but the image would be less sharp.
