“When decommissioning an Axis device, always perform a factory restore to securely remove all configuration, user data, and stored information from the device.”

— Axis Decommissioning Guide

“A factory restore erases all user data and settings, returning the device to its original state, which is necessary before removing the device from service.”

The most efficient method for sending a video stream to multiple recipients simultaneously is multicast. Multicast allows a single video stream to be transmitted to multiple recipients, reducing the bandwidth required compared to unicast, where separate streams are sent to each recipient. This approach optimizes network resources and ensures efficient distribution of video data. Axis Communications' networking and video streaming guidelines confirm multicast as the preferred method for such scenarios.

Utilizing external IR illumination with 940 nm provides the benefit of covert surveillance. IR light at 940 nm is almost invisible to the human eye, making it ideal for discreet monitoring without drawing attention to the presence of the camera. This allows for effective surveillance while remaining undetected by intruders. Axis Communications' product documentation on IR illumination confirms this advantage of 940 nm IR light.

In good conditions, a pixel density of 250 px/m (80 px/ft) is required for identification purposes. This means that at this resolution, the image quality is sufficient to identify individuals, objects, or other details accurately. Identification requires the highest level of detail among the common surveillance objectives (detection, observation, recognition, identification). This pixel density allows for clear and precise visual information necessary for identifying specific features such as facial characteristics or license plates.

"A key advantage of server-based storage is that the servers can be installed in secure, access-controlled locations, improving the physical security of recorded video data."

"Server-based storage allows for secure placement and centralized management."

For AXIS P3247-LVE, the last digit '7' indicates the camera resolution. Axis uses a numerical system where the last digit often denotes the resolution of the camera. In this case, '7' represents a camera with a resolution of 5 MP (megapixels), providing high-quality video surveillance suitable for detailed monitoring.

Pixel density increases when the field of view decreases. By narrowing the field of view, the same number of pixels are concentrated over a smaller area, resulting in higher pixel density. This means that more detail can be captured in a given area, which is essential for applications requiring high image resolution and clarity. This concept is confirmed by Axis Communications' documentation on image quality and pixel density.

"Increasing the compression setting reduces the amount of data in the video stream, thereby reducing the bitrate."

— Axis Communications Academy, Network Video Fundamentals, 2022

"Raising the compression setting will result in a lower bitrate."

"Bandwidth is defined as the maximum rate of data transfer for a given network path, typically measured in bits per second (bps)."

— Axis Communications Academy, Network Video Fundamentals, 2022

"Bandwidth refers to the network’s capacity to carry data, not the amount of data produced or stored."
