Show pixel counter option to enable the rectangle in the image. Use the mouse to move and resize the rectangle, or enter
the number of pixels in the Width and Height fields and click Apply .
• When accessing the Live View page in Internet Explorer with AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Windows. Right-click in the
image and select
Pixel counter . Use the mouse to move and resize the rectangle.
Image

• Compression . The compression level affects the image quality, bandwidth and file size of saved images; the lower the
compression, the higher the image quality with higher bandwidth requirements and larger file sizes.
• Mirror image . If required, the image can be mirrored.
• Rotate image . If required, the image can be rotated.
• Maximum frame rate . To avoid bandwidth problems, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be Limited to a fixed
