AXIS P14 Network Camera Series
Additional settings
H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared to the Motion
JPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to the MPEG-4 standard. This means that less network bandwidth and storage space
are required for a video file. Or seen another way, higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.
Reduce bandwidth and storage
Important
If you reduce the bandwidth it can result in loss of details in the picture.

Events
Set up rules and alerts
You can create rules to make your device perform an action when certain events occur. A rule consists of conditions and actions.
The conditions can be used to trigger the actions. For example, the device can start a recording or send an email when it detects
motion, or show an overlay text when it records.
Trigger an action
1. Go to
Settings > System > Events
to set up a rule. The rule defines when the camera will perform certain actions. Rules
can be setup as scheduled, recurring, or for example, triggered by motion detection.
2. Select the
Condition
that must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one condition for the rule, all of the
conditions must be met to trigger the action.
3. Select which
Action
the camera should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active rule, then the rule needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
