Configure Axis H.264 cameras
To increase the image quality and decrease the bit rate for Axis H.264 video streams, the
recording stream can be configured to use the
Main profile in Config Tool.
NOTE The Main profile is only supported on some Axis H.264 models. If the Profile option is not
available in Config Tool, then the camera does not support the profile selection feature.
1 From the Physical view in Config Tool, select a camera to configure.
2 Click the Video Quality tab, click the stream1 tab.
3 From the Profile drop-down list, select Main profile.
4 Click Apply .
Configure recording schedules
Best practice: For Axis units with firmware prior to version 5.40, it is best practice to create
scheduled events using the unit’s Web page, instead of using the Continuous Recording setting in
Config Tool. The shorter the sequence the better; therefore, it is also recommended to create
multiple scheduled events per day rather than one large one.
