Benet from IR light in low-light conditions by using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. But as the visible light diminishes, color images become less
bright and clear. If you switch to night mode when this happens, the camera uses both visible and near-infrared light to deliver bright
and detailed black-and-white images instead. You can set the camera to switch to night mode automatically.
1. Go to , and make sure that the is set to .Video > Image > Day-night mode IR-cut lter Auto
2. To set at what light level you want the camera to switch to night mode, move the slider toward or .Threshold Bright Dark
3. To use the built-in IR light when the camera is in night mode, turn on andAllow IR illumination Synchronize IR
illumination.
Note
If you set the switch to night mode to occur when it’s brighter, the image remains sharper as there is less low-light noise. If
you set the switch to occur when it’s darker, the image colors are maintained for longer, but there is more image blur due
to low-light noise.
Optimize IR illumination
Depending on the installation environment and the conditions around the camera, for example external light sources in the scene,
you can sometimes improve the IR illumination if you manually adjust the intensity of the LEDs.
1. Go to .Video > Image > Day-night mode
2. Turn on .Allow illumination
3. Go to and select .Manual
4. Adjust the intensity.

If you still have problems with motion blur:
Increase the light level in the scene.
Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Handle scenes with strong backlight
Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest
areas can be signicant. The result is often an image where either the dark or the bright areas are visible. Wide dynamic range
(WDR) makes both dark and bright areas of the image visible.

Brightness: Use the slider to adjust the light intensity. This can make objects easier to see. Brightness is applied after image
capture, and doesn’t affect the information in the image. To get more details from a dark area, it’s usually better to increase
gain or exposure time.
Sharpness: Use the slider to make objects in the image appear sharper by adjusting the edge contrast. If you increase the
sharpness, it may increase the bitrate and the amount of storage space needed as well.
Wide dynamic range
WDR: Turn on to make both bright and dark areas of the image visible.
Local contrast : Use the slider to adjust the contrast of the image. A higher value makes the contrast higher between

zero only the standard gamma correction is applied, while a higher value increases the visibility in the image.
White balance
18
AXIS M20 Bullet Camera Series
The device interface
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more
natural. If this is not sufcient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color icker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is rst started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type
of light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the
automatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a xed white balance setting that matches
the light source you want to use as a reference.
Light environment:
: Automatic identication and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended settingAutomatic
which can be used in most situations.

Max shutter: Select the shutter speed to provide the best image. Low shutter speeds (longer exposure) might cause motion blur
when there is movement, and a too high shutter speed might affect the image quality. Max shutter works with max gain 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 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.
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 . If you want to prioritize theLow noise
preservation of details in moving objects at the expense of noise and bandwidth, move the slider towards .Low motion blur
Note
You can change the exposure either by adjusting the exposure or by adjusting the gain. If you increase the exposure time,
it results in more motion blur, and if you increase the gain it results in more noise. If you adjust the Blur-noise trade-off
towards , the exposure will prefer longer exposure times over sensor gain when the exposure is increased, andLow noise
the opposite if you adjust the trade-off towards . Both the gain and exposure time will eventually reachLow motion blur
their maximum values in low-light conditions, regardless of the priority set.
Lock aperture : Turn on to keep the aperture size set by the slider. Turn off to allow the camera to automaticallyAperture
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 . An open apertureOpen
also reduces the depth of eld, 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.
Defog : Turn on to detect the effects of foggy weather and automatically remove them for a clearer image.

Note
We recommend you not to turn on in scenes with low contrast, large light level variations, or when the autofocus isDefog
slightly off. This can affect the image quality, for example, by increasing the contrast. Furthermore, too much light can
negatively impact the image quality when defog is active.
Stream
General
Resolution: Select the image resolution suitable for the surveillance scene. A higher resolution increases bandwidth and storage.
Frame rate: To avoid bandwidth problems on the network or reduce storage size, you can limit the frame rate to a xed 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.
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.
H.26x encoding
Zipstream: A bitrate reduction technology, optimized for video surveillance, that reduces the average bitrate in an H.264 or H.265
stream in real time. Axis Zipstream applies a high bitrate in scenes where there are multiple regions of interest, for example in
scenes with moving objects. When the scene is more static, Zipstream applies a lower bitrate, and thereby reduces the required
storage. To learn more, see Reducing the bit rate with Axis Zipstream
Select the desired level of bitrate reduction:
: No bitrate reduction.Off
: No visible quality degradation in most scenes. This is the default option and it can be used in all typesLow
of scenes to reduce the bitrate.

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

Security
Certicates
Certicates are used to authenticate devices on a network. The device supports two types of certicates:
Client/server certicates
A client/server certicate validates the device’s identity, and can be self-signed or issued by a Certicate Authority (CA).
A self-signed certicate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certicate has been obtained.
CA certicates
You can use a CA certicate to authenticate a peer certicate, 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
certicates.
These formats are supported:
Certicate formats: .PEM, .CER, and .PFX
Private key formats: PKCS#1 and PKCS#12
Important
If you reset the device to factory default, all certicates are deleted. Any pre-installed CA certicates are reinstalled.

IEEE 802.1x
28
AXIS M20 Bullet Camera Series
The device interface
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).
Certicates
When congured without a CA certicate, server certicate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself
regardless of what network it is connected to.
When using a certicate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital
certicates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
To allow the device to access a network protected through certicates, a signed client certicate must be installed on the device.
Client certicate: Select a client certicate to use IEEE 802.1x. The authentication server uses the certicate to validate the
client’s identity.
CA certicate: Select a CA certicate to validate the authentication server’s identity. When no certicate 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 certicate.
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.

Custom-signed rmware certicate
To install test rmware or other custom rmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom-signed rmware certicate. The
certicate veries that the rmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The rmware can only run on a specic
device which is identied by its unique serial number and chip ID. Custom-signed rmware certicates can only be created
by Axis, since Axis holds the key to sign them.

MQTT
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It was designed for
simplied 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 rmware can simplify integration of data and events produced in the
device to systems which are not video management systems (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 Portal

Detectors
Camera tampering
The camera tampering detector generates an alarm when the scene changes, for example because the lens is covered, sprayed
or severely put out of focus, and the time in has passed. The tampering detector only activates when the cameraTrigger after
has not moved for at least 10 seconds. During this period the detector sets up a scene model to use as a comparison to detect
tampering in current images. For the scene model to be set up properly, make sure that the camera is in focus, the lighting
conditions are correct, and the camera doesn’t point at a scene that lacks contours, for example a blank wall. Camera tampering
can be used as a condition to trigger actions.
Trigger after: Enter the minimum time that the tampering conditions must be active before the alarm triggers. This can help
prevent false alarms for known conditions that affect the image.
Trigger on dark images: It is very difcult to generate alarms when the camera lens is sprayed, since it is impossible to distinguish
that event from other situations where the image turns dark in a similar way, for example when the lighting conditions change.
Turn on this parameter to generate alarms for all cases where the image turns dark. When it’s turned off, the device doesn’t
generate any alarm when the image turns dark.

View area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. You can stream and store view areas instead of the full view to minimize bandwidth
and storage needs. If you enable PTZ for a view area, you can pan, tilt and zoom within it. By using view areas you can remove parts
of the full view, for example, the sky.
When you set up a view area, we recommend you to set the video stream resolution to the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. If you set the video stream resolution larger than the view area size it implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
which requires more bandwidth without adding image information.
Capture modes
A capture mode is a preset conguration that denes how the camera will capture images. The capture mode setting can affect the
camera’s eld of view and aspect ratio. The shutter speed can also be affected, which in turn will affect the light sensitivity.
The lower resolution capture mode may be sampled from the original resolution, or it may be cropped out from the original, in
which case the eld of view may also be affected.
The image shows how the eld of view and aspect ratio can change between two different capture modes.
The capture mode to choose depends on the requirements for the frame rate and resolution for the specic surveillance setup. For
specications about available capture modes, see the product’s datasheet at .axis.com

Privacy masks
A privacy mask is a user-dened area that prevents users from viewing a part of the monitored area. In the video stream, privacy
masks appear as blocks of solid color.
You’ll see the privacy mask on all snapshots, recorded video, and live streams.
You can use the VAPIX® application programming interface (API) to turn off the privacy masks.
Important
If you use multiple privacy masks it may affect the product’s performance.
Overlays
Overlays are superimposed over the video stream. They are used to provide extra information during recordings, such as a timestamp,
or during product installation and conguration. You can add either text or an image.
Pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ)
Guard tours
A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions either in a predetermined or random order, and for congurable
periods of time. Once started, a guard tour continues to run until stopped, even when there are no clients (web browsers) viewing the
images.
Streaming and storage
Video compression formats
Decide which compression method to use based on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of your network. The
available options are:
Motion JPEG
Motion JPEG, or MJPEG, is a digital video sequence that is made up of a series of individual JPEG images. These images are then
displayed and updated at a rate sufcient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion. For the viewer to perceive motion
video the rate must be at least 16 image frames per second. Full motion video is perceived at 30 (NTSC) or 25 (PAL) frames per second.
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 le by more than 80% compared to the Motion
JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to older MPEG formats. This means that less network bandwidth and storage space
are required for a video le. Or seen another way, higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.
H.265 or MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC
H.265 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video le by more than 25% compared to H.264.
